45 YEARS STRONG Since building their first bike in a garage in Southern California back in 1972, GT’s mission has been consistently clear: the relentless pursuit to develop bikes that provide riders with the best products available. Over time, the materials, parts and the riders have evolved, but GT’s spirit of Good Times through innovation has always remained true. Whether it is a solo singletrack mission, a simple daily commute, or a day-long adventure with your riding buddies, for GT it’s always about personal expression and the fundamental connection between bike and rider. Each GT bike has 45 years of refined craftsmanship and proven technologies built into it. From the classic Triple Triangle™ frame design pioneered on the first GT BMX frames, to the patented Angle Optimized Suspension and Independent Drivetrain systems featuring on its world-beating mountain bikes, GT has continually developed world-class products to suit all riders. GT’s legacy has long been cemented by successes on the global stage. With some of the world’s most decorated athletes having thrown their legs over GT bikes, including Downhill World Champions, Olympians, and Rampage and X-Games medalists, the brand continues to thrive, staying true to its core values. At GT, victories are always celebrated – but it’s not always about the win. It’s about consistently producing great products so you can get out, enjoy the ride, and share your adventures with your mates – because as always, Fun is Serious Business. #SRSLYFUN

G T ’ S S TO RY From our namesake Gary Turner building one of the first BMX race bikes in 1972 to our modern carbon fibre creations that redefine fast-as-hell, we’ve built a long legacy of racing and winning, yet never taking ourselves too seriously. As a company, we’re 45 going on 18 – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 1972 BMX frames of the era just weren’t strong enough – so Gary Turner used his experience welding drag racing cars and started making BMX frames that were faster, lighter, and WAY more durable than anything else. GT Bicycles was born in the back of a sun-blessed garage in Southern California.

‘17 - BEYOND Following the reinvigoration of the BMX roster, GT also formed a new GT Factory Racing MTB team, focussing on success and Good Times, both on and off the bike. Adding World Cup enduro wins to the trophy haul, the GT team goes from strength to strength, helping push the innovation and quality of GT Bicycles. Collectively, the entire GT team is hard at work scripting the next chapter in GT’s storied history.

‘74–‘80 GT Bicycles evolved quickly with a simple vision: to help riders push the envelope of what’s possible on two wheels creating the most reliable, innovative and flat-out fastest bikes around. Gary teamed up with Richard Long. Richard is the business guy, selling frames, sponsoring riders and generally doing his level best to become the biggest name in BMX. And Gary? He made it possible with the most innovative frames in the business.

‘12–‘15 GT partnered with the Athertons, the fastest mountain bike family in the world. Working together they developed world-class products such as revamping the GT Fury – the GT Atherton team earned over 50 World Cup podiums, 3 World Championships, and 3 World Cup overall titles. Out on the roads, GT helped revolutionise road riding with the Grade, going further than road bikes had ever been before.

‘81–‘86 GT became synonymous with durability and winning, bringing home more BMX wins and clout than any other bike brand of the era with everyone from Gary Ellis, to Greg Hill to Chicken George Seevers winning every weekend on GTs. GT also began to pioneer the new sport of BMX freestyle with bikes such as the Performer. Also, cycling legend Hans Rey signs with GT in 1986...

‘07–‘11 GT continued to adopt new technologies, introducing production 29ers, followed by the i-Drive7 in 2007, and a new proprietary carbon frame. GT’s Brian Lopes is the 2007 4x World Champion. In 2008, Burry Stander became the U23 XC World Champion. In the inaugural Olympics for BMX Racing, Mike Day took home silver with teammate Jill Kintner winning bronze. In 2009, Mick Hannah podiums (again and again) on the ground-breaking all-new Fury carbon downhill bike.

‘87–‘94

‘95–‘98

Applying the same attitude toward the emerging sport of mountain biking and with input from Hans and co, GT set out to design even more of the best bikes in the world. The Zaskar MTB was launched in 1990 and quickly became the most versatile mountain bike ever made – winning World Cups in trials, slalom, cross-country and even downhill.

GT’s commitment to building progressionenabling bikes continued – In 1996, GT won the commission to manufacture a highly aerodynamic bike design that would later become known as the ‘Superbike’, hailed at the time “as the best on the planet” and later banned by Olympic track cycling regulations for being “too fast.”

‘99–‘06 A whole new era of mountain innovation (and winning results) dawns. GT introduced i-Drive® suspension to rave reviews and the LOBO DH bike hit the big slopes. Suspended bikes made up 80% of the models over $1,000. Oh yeah, and the Saturn and Lotto Pro Cycling teams take turns riding GT road bikes over a couple of winning seasons. GT continued to test innovations that included the world’s first downhill bike with a production gearbox design, the IT-1.

TAKE THE SUSPENSE OUT OF SUSPENSION. Energy is a terrible thing to waste. GT’s exclusive A.O.S. system delivers the most efficient pedalling design available, so you can drop the hammer without worrying about losing energy to every obstacle you come across. Better rolling performance means you can attack climbs, descents and flats with more power than ever. Maintain contact: Keep your wheels on the ground — not in the air—with A.O.S. The system is centred on a high main-pivot that creates a rearward wheel path optimised to absorb bumps and improve rollover momentum. Roll with it: A.O.S. achieves smoother pedalling over any terrain by separating pedaling forces from the suspension movement. Our system integrates the PathLink linkage system to minimise unwanted chain growth, pedal-bob, and manage the BB path.

Featured on the GT Fury, Sanction, and Verb + Isolates pedal forces from suspension + Maintains pedaling efficiency + Creates a faster, smoother ride

CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE FROM BUMPS. Simplicity, efficiency and durability. It’s a simple idea: Independent Drivetrain Suspension is GT’s most tunable and durable suspension platform. It offers more efficient pedalling by isolating the suspension forces from the drivetrain. A one-piece rear triangle paired with a progressive suspension-rate design (+10%) helps it take punishment like a pro. Use the force: To maintain the most technical lines the rear wheel must respond to the terrain with ID tuned for bump compliance and large impacts. Easy Setup: With easy access to the shock and simple setup guidelines you will be shredding in no time.

+ More room to move + Better climbing traction + Improved descending control

LONGER TOP TUBE. SAME REACH. Centred control is within your reach: Go long and love it. You’ll find Progressive Geometry on almost every GT mountain bike. A longer top tube paired with a shorter stem gives riders greater control. By centreing your weight for improved balance going up—or bombing down. Extend your abilities: The longer top tube offers more room to move around without over-weighting your front end and losing traction or stability. Stretch out and relax: More space gives you better balance—for better climbing traction and dialed-in descending control. Sharper steering: The combination of a short stem and wide bars gives you more precise steering for more control on steep climbs and descents.

G T FA C TO RY RACING TEAM FUN I S SER I O US BUSI N ESS

The GT Factory MTB team is a heady cocktail of crazy personalities from the world of Downhill, Freeride and Enduro – take for example, Belgian Martin Maes: winner of the last round of the Enduro World Series and sinker of many a quality beer. The team lives and breathes for racing, but the way they race is just as important as the results themselves. This is just riding bikes after all, right? It’s literally not rocket science, so even though everyone on the team is deeply committed to the cause and they get bummed-out after a bad result or a crash, they soon bounce back around the after-race barbecue realising that life goes on and they will live to ride another day. If you love bikes, love racing and don’t take yourself too seriously, come say hi at a race. Find out more about the team at gtbicycles.com 14

THE 2017 SANCTION In Enduro events, you win the race based on your total descent time over multiple stages, so the logic of building an Enduro bike based on a championship-winning gravity bike is obvious. That’s what we’ve done with the Sanction. It has the same leverage

(suspension travel to shock compression) ratios as its big brother Fury, but in a 165mm travel size instead of the Fury’s 210mm. Young Enduro phenom Martin Maes has had tremendous input into the design and ride qualities the 2017 Sanction delivers.

RIDING TOGETHER FOR 30 YEARS WORDS BY HAN S ‘ N O -WAY’ R EY

There is a fine line between what some call “All-Mountain” and what others would call Enduro, Freeride, or Trail riding. The common denominator is that you ride up a mountain and come down with varying degrees of emphasis on the gravity that brings you back down. The beauty in cycling is that every person can do it for their own reasons, whether that is for fitness, travel, competition, adrenaline, a connection to nature, to grow friendships, or to keep their sanity. Personally, I’m hooked on every style of riding: cross country, backcountry, trials, downhill, enduro, freeride, road, even e-bikes! Every time I ride, I lose myself in the moment, and that is what’s perfect about riding. It’s like a meditation and a workout all in one. This very idea is why GT is like family to me. I feel privileged to have been a part of the company for the last 30 years. It stands for so many different things, but it’s the sum of those things that makes it so special. GT’s bikes have been my trusted companion on adventures and in races, a loyal partner in both dangerous situations and casual Sunday rides, and an ally in training sessions and commutes. GT feels as much a part of me as my DNA and shapes my philosophy for life, on and off the bike. 26

THE 2017 PANTERA When you want the maneuverability of a traditional trail bike to take on the technical slopes, balanced with the stability that a 29er brings over the rooted, rocky and rutted out sections of your local trails, you can find it all in a Plus bike. GTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest

addition to the lineup is the Pantera, with Plus-sized tyres that are ready to rock every type of terrain you can throw its way. The increased traction gives you the type of cornering and pedalling control you need to ride in almost any condition, putting your skills at centre stage.

MADE TO LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL... OVER EVERYTHING! 42

Progressive Geometry provides a longer Front Centre for better balance, better climbing traction, and dialed-in descending control.

E N J OY E V E RY SECOND OF IT WORD S BY TYLER M c C AUL

I ride my bike to feel free, to escape, to express my creativity, to be competitive, to exercise, to inspire others, to release energy, and to fly. I see all of those things in this company because, to me, GT is a company that’s been around the block, but hasn’t skipped a beat when it comes to progressing bike technology and culture. Since they started in 1972, they’ve not only invested in growing as a company, but in their athletes, their consumers, and the sport of cycling as a whole. From BMX, road, and XC to DH, Freeride, and Enduro, they’ve been there and done that, and continue to support and progress how we ride. When I’m on a trail riding downhill, I’m reaping the rewards of what got me to the top of that hill. Whether you’re standing at the top of a World Cup track or a high desert ridge, you didn’t get there the easy way, and you should enjoy every second of that descent. That’s something GT really seems to understand. 62

DUAL FIBER DYNAMICS MORE CONTROL LESS FATIGUE As suggested by “dual”, these seat stays are a composite of two lightweight and ultra stiff materials: a composite glass fiber and carbon. The solid core provides incredible rigidity, and the carbon outer layer acts as added vibration dampening.

I race because it’s in my blood… I have been racing since the age of 4, and I just love doing it! I’m so happy I am able to race professionally in mountain biking. I’m proud that I can call this my job, and that I get support and appreciation as a female athlete from all of my sponsors so I can continue to do what I love! Out of all the types of riding, I’ve found myself most drawn to Enduro over the years. To me, Enduro is a big challenge, and physically the hardest of the mountain biking disciplines I’ve ever done. Those aspects of Enduro are what I love: a challenge and pushing my body to the limit. 96

M Y G T FA M I LY WORDS BY BR I AN KAC HI N SKY

When the GT guys get together on a trip, it always sparks fun and eventful times. Whether it’s at a gas station, a breakfast spot or a campus, I’ve had people ask about us. “Are you guys a band?” or “Are you guys a rugby team?” are just a couple humorous inquiries I’ve heard. I’ve also heard people say “you guys look like you’re having fun”. No we aren’t in a band, although it would be easier to fly a guitar on a plane. No, we don’t play rugby. Those scrapes and bruises are from concrete. Yes, we are having fun, in fact we are having the time of our lives. While I chuckle at the fact that they think we are something we aren’t, I love the fact that they can sense that we are a good group of friends. We love riding our bikes. We love exploring new territory. We love joking around with each other, whether it’s in the city streets or in the constantly entertaining team group chat. As the adventures continue I see what onlookers would consider a group of good friends, steadily evolving into a family. A family which is serious about fun and fun even when it’s time to handle business. This is GT. 112

Albert Mercado and a pedal grind to bars in the heart of Manhattan.

TERRA FIRMA WORD S BY BR I AN KAC HI N SKY

Dirt. As humans, we have created so many ways to get rid of it: brooms, dust pans, washing machines, vacuum cleaners. But the roots of BMX have grown in dirt, and that is what continues to elevate it to new levels. Teamwork, motivation, vision, and craftsmanship come together to turn this dirt and dust into a canvas that we get to use to create art out of this thing we love. And that canvas? It’s cut from a different cloth, just like BMX riders are. The cliche of “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” could not be more true in us. While millions of people travel to California every year seeking out sunshine and beaches, we come for the wasteland of dry waterways that make up some of the most unique terrain we get to ride. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that’s where we find it. 122

2017 PERFORMER The Performer was the original freestyle bike in the GT range back when Tuffs, kick-turns and framestands were all the rage. Times change and so has the

Performer – modern geometry, bang up-to-date design and the raddest components set this apart from regular completes on the market.

THE OLDEST NAME IN GT FREESTYLE HAS EVOLVED OVER 30 YEARS TO GIVE TODAY’S RIDERS THE CONFIDENCE TO MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY SESSION. 124

Tim Bringer in Stuttgart, Germany during the 2016 GT European Tour.

NEVER FORGET YO U R RO OT S GT was born from BMX racing and we still live and breathe it today like never before! The sport has changed in so many ways, from kids racing around backyard dirt tracks in their jeans and dad’s old motorcycle helmets, to modern day tracks offering the top riders the chance to reach speeds of 60kph and jump pro sections with doubles as far as 12m. Even though BMX racing now involves sports scientists and technicians looking for marginal gains through the latest technology or nutrition, the premise is the same – flying around a dirt track in 30-40 seconds with seven other riders going elbow to elbow where anything can happen. GT is proud to support athletes around the globe including the UK’s Liam Phillips, a multiple UCI Supercross and World BMX Champion. 134
