GT began in 1972, when Gary Turner began making bicycle frames for his son, a BMX racer. His improved frames increased in popularity and in 1974 they generated the attention of Richard Long, a local bike shop owner in California. This year marked the most famous partnership in BMX history, when Richard Long started selling Gary’s frames in his stores. Today, GT Bicycle offers a wide range of Mountain bikes, Road Bikes, Comfort and Hybrid bikes, BMX bikes, and even the laid back beach cruisers if throwback is your taste. All GT bicycles are ridden and tested by the top pros in the business like National Champions Brian Lopes and Jill Kintner, Extreme Riding legend Hans Rey, and XC Olympian Todd Wells. GT Bicycle prides itself on its legacy as the innovator in the industry by evolving its award-winning i-Drive technology and using it in downhill, freeride, all-mountain and cross-country applications. Its new iT1 freeride bike exemplifies GT’s technological strength with its first-of-its-kind internal transmission. Whatever riding you’re into GT has your bike. Whether it’s an epic all day mountain bike adventure, serious hard core drops and air, old school cross country racing, marathons or just plain old comfort biking, GT has a model that fits your needs with the quality and innovation that you demand. |
