2018 GT Grade Alloy Comp Bike

Don’t turn back when you reach the end of the road. On the GT Grad Alloy Comp road bike, this is where the adventure begins.

A bike which knows no bounds. The GT Grade is a high-tech bike designed for low-tech roads, so it’s perfectly at home riding over the Great British potholes. The endurance/sportive road geometry put riders in a comfortable upright position for long distance journeys, and helps you stay in better control of the bike over difficult road surfaces.

With a hydroformed top tube & downtube that are joined together with smooth welds, the GT Grade Alloy has been optimised to maintain rider comfort by reducing road buzz without a loss of performance or lateral rigidity. It also features a tapered head tube, giving the rider great feedback and precise control over the steering.

The GT Grade Alloy Comp is outfitted with a Shimano Claris 2x8 speed drivetrain and an FSA Tempo compact chainset. This gives it a healthy selection of gears, with plenty of low ratios to cover everything from difficult rough-track climbs to smooth asphalt descents.

Talking of descents, there are a pair of Tektro mechanical disk brakes giving you plenty of stopping power that isn’t hampered by the rain. Balancing road with dirt-road duties is a set of Schwalbe Road Cruiser tyres, with K-guard puncture protection.

Go beyond the road and into the unknown, with the GT Grade Alloy Comp road bike.
