GT Avalanche 3.0 Disc Womens '13

GT Avalanche 3.0 Disc Women's

This is the women's-specific version of the GT Avalanche 3.0 Disc. Its frame's shorter top tube means you won't be obliged to overstretch to reach the bars, as can be the case when a woman is saddled with a man's bicycle.

Apart from its more female-friendly geometry, the GT Avalanche 3.0 Disc Women's retains the key features that make the men's versionone of this year's best-equipped name-brand mountain bikes.

• The triple-triangle hydroformed aluminium frame is proven lightweight and strong.
• 100mm-travel SunTour XCM fork with lockout.
• Alivio 3x9 gearing delivers Shimano's trademark, punchy Rapidfire gear shifts.
• Low-maintenance Tektro hydraulic disc brakes are smoother-operating and more controllable, effective and confidence-inspiring than any cable-operated bicycle brake you've ever tried.
• The Maxxis Sphinx 26x2.1-inch front tyre is matched with a Maxxis Sphinx 26x1.95" rear.
• A fat tyre up front will corner better.
• A narrow rear tyre is lighter so, everything else being equal, will accelerate with less effort.
• 685mm riser bar on a short stem makes for a sharp handling mountain bike.

‘The GT Avalanche is one of the best all-round trail bikes we’ve tested for under £500. It’s comfortable, easy to hammer and totally predictable on difficult trails.’
