MOUNTAIN 2012

GT BICYCLES

Been there. Ridden that.

Since the sport of mountain biking first became just that, GT has been known for making rugged, reliable bikes that can both stand up to just about anything the natural world can dish out and win a world championship or two (dozen).

The times may have changed, but the capabilities of our mountain bikes haven’t. GT’s mountain collection doesn’t just allow riders of all ages and skill sets to go bigger, ride faster and get dirtier — it encourages them to.

gravity The race to the top is actually to the bottom.

When you routinely spend more time taking the lift to the summit of the mountain than you do riding down, you can’t afford to second-guess anything, let alone your bike. Riders who know what it takes to bomb a hill — to tear through a rock garden, drop off a ledge, rip a berm and clear a double (all without going ass-over-

tea kettle) — know that there’s no other bike they’d rather have underneath them than a reliable, rock-solid GT gravity bike. How do we know? When you regularly get calls from competing pros asking for one of your rides…you’re onto something.

Outlast the batteries in your headlamp.

Riders who plan to spend long hours on the saddle don’t need some ultra-light, super-stiff, high-performance ride. GT trail bikes are built with this in mind, giving riders who want to spend an entire day (and perhaps part of the night, too) on their bikes a ride that won’t make them want to say uncle. And because it’s a GT, reliability and durability go without saying. Which is a pleasant thought, if you’ve been carving single track for three plus hours…and find yourself some three plus hours from your car.

Just because GT X/C race bikes have carried countless riders to the top of local, national, and world championship podiums doesn’t mean that they’re too fragile to be used as an everyday trail machine. Just as capable off-course as they are on, GT X/C bikes are just as durable and reliable as they are nimble and lightweight.

XIZANG FRAME 9R Characteristic perfect weld beads adorn the polished GT Xizang Titanium frame, the mark of true master craftsmen.

Titanium is the most exotic and expensive metal used for bicycle frames today. It combines many desirable characteristics, including a high strength to weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, incredible durability, shock absorption . Using the latest modern techniques to pressure-form larger strategically shaped tube profiles that maximize weld contact areas.

Custom tube shaping creates the perfect amount of stiffness and flexibility to take Titanium to the next level.

The second generation GT Xizang is a lot more than a retro rebuild – ride quality is unmatched.

As proven as the bikes they ride.

For the last 20 years, GT has had the support of athletes who’ve pushed the progression of our sport.

Whether by redefining what’s possible on two wheels, or reinventing the role of a bike pro, these riders have relied on GT bikes to bring themselves (and the sport) to the next level.

HANS REY Wingmen Team Define. Redefine. Repeat.

Outside of a blood test, it’s been challenging lately to find positive things cyclists have done to help both grow and create awareness for their sport.

Hans continues to define what it means to earn your wings.

Marc Beaumont UCI World Cup Team Few athletes have the skill, fitness and reflexes to win a World Cup Downhill event.

Fewer still are also fit enough to hang with some of the World’s best cross country riders.

Mick Hannah UCI World Cup Team With a moniker like Sik Mick, one might expect a persona rife with attitude and a sense of entitlement. With Mick, nothing could be further from the truth.

ANDREW CHO Wingmen Team Domo arigato, Mr. Choboto.

A unique species, the Chobot is a cross pollination of a mountain biker, amateur documentary filmmaker, gravity coach and fun hog.

ERIC CARTER Wingmen Team Classy. Between his national and world championship titles, his activities as a brand ambassador, and his ability to earn the respect of nearly every cyclist he meets, E.C.’s done a lot to earn both his wings and his place as a wingman.

TYLER McCAUL Wingmen Team TMC = WTF. Generally speaking, if you can pull off an aerial maneuver on a bike that leaves everyone watching and wondering what the hell you just did, then you stand a pretty good shot at making the Wingmen team.

DAVE WATSON Wingmen Team Shaming spandex since 2003.

Wingmen don’t issue statements; their riding is a statement enough. Whether by jumping over the Peloton at the 2003 Tour de France, or founding Sombrio, Dave’s been pretty vocal throughout his career. We’re proud to have him on the program.

Technological.

Emphasis on logical.

Everything found on a GT bike is there for a reason — to help riders go farther and faster than they ever thought possible. Our philosophy? We believe the simplest route is the direction to head, and that bike building demands focus and sticktoitiveness. We’re committed to what works, not what’s trendy. And our technologies have been proven to work all around the world, on every surface, time and again. And again after that.

it’s iconic for a reason.

Nothing says more about who we are and our philosophy toward bike building than our Triple Triangle™ frame design. First introduced 24 years ago to help both reduce unwanted lateral frame flex and improve acceleration, in no time, Triple Triangle™, gained global notoriety not only for its responsiveness, but also for its legendary durability. To date, a Triple Triangle frame remains the only frame in the world to win a world championship in both X/C and DH. Notoriety quickly led to iconic status when, shortly after its introduction, a Triple Triangle™ frame became the first (and only) bike in the world to win a mountain bike world championship in both X/C and downhill disciplines.

LIFE IS COMPLICATED. SUSPENSION SHOULDN’T BE.

Most suspension platforms are forced to make a compromise between pedaling efficiency and suspension performance.

And if compromises are anything…they’re complicated.

Even if a system strikes an optimum balance (which a lot of them do), the additional linkages, shock-tunes and pivots required by such a design typically result in more maintenance, more moving parts…and more headaches.

GT’s simple-is-best approach forced us to think about the problem differently.

Rather than forcing a compromise, GT’s Independent Drivetrain™ dissolves the relationship entirely, allowing the suspension to function independently of the drivetrain, and vice versa.

The benefits? Because the drivetrain is independent of the suspension, pedaling forces aren’t interrupted by the activation of the suspension. Because the suspension is independent of the drivetrain, the suspension can focus on bumps and impacts without worrying about the effect on

left With I-Drive, regardless of how the rear wheel moves, it won’t pull on the chain, crank or pedals. The result? The rider is insulated from suspension-induced pedal feedback and pedaling efficiency is improved. right Because it operates independent of the drivetrain, the suspension can focus solely on what it’s supposed to. Rather than having its direction dictated by the requirements of the drivetrain, the rear-wheel path can instead follow the direction of the force of impact. The benefit? Reduced drag; preserved momentum; and a faster, smoother ride. below Independent Drivetrain doesn’t require extra linkages or pivots to maximize suspension performance.

The fewer the pivots, the fewer the linkages…the fewer the headaches.

pedaling efficiency. Because it’s an inherently simple design, it’s easy to set up, ride and maintain. And because the engineering focus doesn’t have to be on making the system work, we can focus it on making sure riders can trust it to perform the way it should, when it should.

Believe the ride.

Not the hype.

Carbon can usually yield a pretty durable, über-lightweight frame. Our motivations with the material, however, have always been slightly different. Unlike alloys, carbon allows us to put material exactly where it’s needed in order to create a better riding, more durable frame with the exact riding characteristics necessary to earn the trust of riders across the globe.

Our proprietary methodology for carbon frame fabrication, GT’s Force Optimized Construction (FOC) reflects our commitment to this ideal. Using our own Finite Element Analysis software, we can more closely examine the forces affecting a frame. Using this information, we can make frames that both ride the way we want,that working cyclists can trust.

force optimized construction FOC lets us build a frame that does not flex in ways it shouldn’t due to pedaling forces, steering forces, impact forces‌hell, it can even protect you from THE Force. You know. Just in case you run into a Jedi.

34 35

More doesn’t equal better.

Look at Vegas buffets.

Making a bike stronger doesn’t always mean you’ve got to use more material.

It does mean you’ve got to use stronger materials and be smarter in how you use them. Tube shapes, diameters and surface planes go a long way in making a stronger, more reliable frame.

1+1+1 = 4 A bike can be greater than the sum of its parts., we use a combination of materials, fabrication techniques, proprietary technology and geometries to give our bikes a specific “attitude.”

Rather than restricting ourselves to a fixed set of shapes, GT employs fabrication techniques that enable us to optimize the shapes of our tubes and frames according to the riding style (and resulting stresses) for which they’ll be used.

Hydroformed

monocoque

Hydroformed tubes undergo a process in which a traditionally shaped tube or part is manipulated and reshaped to direct metal towards places that need to be reinforced or strengthened.

The result? An alloy tube that yields optimum strength-to-weight characteristics.

Because they’re not constrained by the shapes that an existing tube can yield, monocoque frames can take a shape that can withstand exceptionally trying terrain. making it a GT’s preferred fabrication process for the rigors of high-speed gravity riding.

butted Like hydroformed tubes, butted tubes are traditionally shaped, featuring a thicker, stronger wall at the ends of the tube (where the bike endures greater stress loads), and a thinner, lighter wall in the middle of the tube.

36 37

The cool thing about carbon? Its properties can be changed in targeted places. Need a carbon tube to be stronger around the headtube juncture? No problem, just change the orientation or weave of the carbon blend in that area. The downside of carbon? In order to capitalize on the advantages of carbon, you’ve really got to have one hell of a dialed-in fabrication process. Said more plainly — a carbon frame is only as good as the years of experience you’ve got in developing it.

Fortunately, GT began experimenting with composites over 20 years ago. Our legacy of composite construction is manifested in our proprietary methodology of carbon fabrication — Force Optimized Construction. GT both ensures that we’re building the most reliable carbon frames possible and tunes its frames to a specific riding style using three different FOC fabrication techniques.

foc ultra FOC Ultra takes a minimalist approach to carbon fabrication using the fewest layers of hi-modulus carbon possible to achieve a stiff, reliable, responsive ride. Not only is FOC Ultra light enough to be used in peloton-ready machines like the GTr Carbon Team, but also it’s the fabrication process that X/C MTB pros Céderic and Cécile Ravanel trust to deliver them 2012 Olympic berths in London.

foc am GT’s FOC AM fabrication yields a frame that’s almost as rugged as our XM blend, in a lighterweight package by using smaller tube diameters and different lay-up protocols. But don’t let that fool you.

Even though the force carbon — an FOC AM bike with 150 mm of rear-wheel travel — is lighter than many 120 mm (or even some 100mm) bikes, it’s still strong enough to handle a good whipping. Just ask Hans, who issued a whipping of his own to pros less than half his age aboard an FOC AM bike at this year’s Cabo Verde Race.

foc xm FOC XM optimizes our XM blend of carbon to withstand the abuse of the UCI World Cup DH circuit. The proof ? It’s in the pudding. The first (and only) full-carbon frames to take home both a DH World Cup win (nice work, Marc) and a DH World Championship Podium (nice work, Mick) feature FOC XM fabrications.

materials

We started working with carbon before Cho was born.

Speed metal.

It’s not just for MOTORHEAD FANS anymore.

Our engineers use proprietary alloy and composite materials when designing GT frames. By specifying the exact criteria they need their alloy and composite materials to meet, GT engineers can, and always will, develop frames that meet the standard for durability we first set nearly 40 years ago.

carbon

What’s your flavor?

Coffee makers use different blends of beans in order to achieve different flavors. Similarly, we use different blends of carbon to achieve distinct riding characteristics, and to optimize our frames around a particular riding style. xm blend Used exclusively on the Fury, GT’s XM carbon is a blend of intermediate modulus carbon with an exceptionally high strain-to-failure ratio. Although more flexible than a stiffer, more responsive Hi-Mod blend, this blend is a lot less fragile, and can bend appreciably before reaching its break point. We didn’t stop there. GT’s proprietary Rockblock™ technology (made from ballisticgrade Kevlar fiber that helps protect law enforcement and military personnel) is also incorporated into the fibers on the underside of the down tube to protect it from rocks and debris that are sprayed up from the front tire. am blend Used exclusively on the Force, GT’s AM carbon blend starts with an XM blend before being substantially lightened with the strategic replacement of intermediate modulus carbon with stiffer, snappier himodulus fibers in areas of the bike insulated from impact

by GT’s Independent Drivetrain™ Suspension System. speed blend Durable enough to be used on the Zaskar while still being light enough to be used on the GTr Team Road Frame. Featuring a higher percentage of hi-modulus carbon, GT’s Speed blend yields an exceptionally stiff and light frame, without the brittle characteristics typically associated with similar constructions.

alloy

Good enough is never enough.

Stronger frame need stronger tubes. Stronger tubes need either more material, or to be made into stronger shapes.

To make our bikes strong and light, we opt for the latter whenever we can. That’s why GT has partnered with the industry’s leading alloy manufacturers to develop its own custom blend of alloy materials which are more easily transformed into the shapes we want, and which will hold those shapes once set. xm Metal Optimized for the rigors of monocoque construction, XM metal is perfect for aggressive, gravityoriented riding styles. am Metal Similar in concept to XM metal, AM metal is optimized for Hydroformed tubes. It’s damp riding characteristics make it an ideal choice for shorter-travel trail bikes, and un-sprung hard-tails. speed Metal Formulated for use in tubes featuring multiple fabrication techniques (tubes which are butted, then hydroformed), Speed Metal is strong enough to be used in X/C Hardtails like the Zaskar, and light enough for crit machines like the GTr Series 1.

dur abil ity Disposable heroes.

Not bikes.

There’s a reason the Zaskar is the only bike to win both a downhill and X/C world championship title: why the Fury was the only full-carbon bike in competition at the Red Bull Rampage and why Andrew Cho was able to log a million vertical miles this past season on one carbon fiber bike.

We constantly look for, and address, potential areas of weakness in our bikes, and then focus on developing technologies to improve the longevity of our bikes. Examples include:

triple trianglE Originally developed to extend the frame life, stiffen the rear triangle and thus create a faster, more responsive ride, Triple Triangle™ has transcended its role as just another tech story and become an iconic symbol of who we are and what we stand for.

Forged Elements and Pivots GT forges (or optimizes with FOC) every single linkage and pivot on all of our dualsuspension bikes. We don’t stop there. We also forge other areas of the frame that are prone to constant abuse or stress, such as head tubes, bottom brackets and dropouts.

Gusseted Head tubes When you’re trying to defy what is possible on two wheels, sometimes a little extra metal goes a long way. That’s why, on select bikes, GT features head tube and/or down tube gussets, giving riders who embrace the earn your wings philosophy on a different level than most of us a little extra security.

11 ⁄2 x 11 ⁄2 The wider diameter of a forged 11⁄2" x 11⁄2" head tube yields an exceptionally strong, stiff structure with improved steering response, reduced flex and greater impact deflection at high speeds in rough terrain.

Putting a bunch of great musicians together doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get a great band. Case in point: Van Hagar. Critical as the materials and technologies used in the construction of a frameset are, they need to be developed in concert with the key element that most affects a bike’s steering and handling characteristics — its geometry.

In order to enhance handling characteristics, GT carefully selects the proprietary materials and fabrication techniques best suited for each bike’s geometry, then pairs it with a head tube diameter that best meets the needs of the rider the bike was designed for.

11 ⁄8 x 11 ⁄2 GT’s forged, tapered 11 ⁄8" x 11 ⁄2" affords the same steering response and stiffness benefits of a 11 ⁄2" x 11 ⁄2" tube, but without suffering as much of a weight penalty.

11 ⁄8 x 11 ⁄8 Just because they’re light on the wallet as they are on grams, doesn’t mean that GT’s 11⁄8" x 11⁄8" head tubes are light on performance. Featuring lightweight, integrated bearing races that simplify bearing maintenance and replacement, and forged construction, these head tubes are as capable of handling marathon trail sessions as they are chasing points on the pro X/C circuit.
