GT Karakoram Sport 29er Mountain Bike 2017. At its most elemental, trail riding comes down to three things: the rider, the trail, and the bike. With the 2017 GT Karakoram Sport, you've got the last part covered. Step over the hydroformed, aluminum frame and with Triple Triangle reinforced geometry and you'll know you've got the ideal frame to absorb trail impact and keep you moving forward. It's strong, stiff, and yet responsive when you need to change directions fast. A Suntour fork with steel tranchions and 100mm of travel eats up the bumps and rocks, and the hardtail design keeps you close to the trail and eliminates the dreaded bob. In the cockpit, the 12mm riser bar with a 680mm width handlebar puts you in the ideal position for greater control, comfort and visibility. When the trail starts to climb, you're ready with super reliable and quick shifting Shimano Altus and Alivio derailleurs. A 27 speed drivetrain gives you all the gearing you need, and Tektro Hydro Disc brakes with 160mm rotors give you supreme confidence on steep descents. Finally, where the rubber meets the trail, you'll see what all the fuss is about with a 29 wheelset that eats up any single track you put in front of it. All Terra Cypher tires, with more than 2 inches of gripping lugs and knobs, make sure you stay upright on even the loosest pack. The GT Karakoram Sport lets nothing come between you and the trail, except fun. Find the trail. Ride it. Elementary.
