![]() ![]() We couldn’t detect any differences in ride feel that couldn’t be explained by minor changes in tyre, fork and shock performance.īoth the aluminium and carbon i-Drive 4s are fantastic short travel cross-country bikes – there are times when the 100mm travel feels like more over rough terrain, in that it rarely feels challenged, but the overall impression is of a taut, rapid and very lively ride character that climbs with the best hardtails and rarely shows its limits on demanding descents. Can anyone recommend it Thanks I was looking at that bike recently for my first FS purchase. This would be my first mountain bike should I decide to get it. The bike is part of GT s Avalanche range of mountain bikes. Newbie101 said: The 2007 GT i-Drive 4 4.0 Mountain Bike is now on sale for 749, down from 1099. It is priced at 530 USD, comes in a range of sizes, including XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, has SR Suntour suspension and a Shimano drivetrain. The Carbon Pro looks and feels superb, although it’s hard to say whether the carbon mainframe makes it faster, more comfy or even more durable than the similarly equipped alu model. The 2012 GT Avalanche 4.0 is an Trail Aluminium / Alloy mountain bike. This is easily sorted but it’ll be interesting to see if the internal routing throws up any problems when it comes to re-cabling. Using a process called Force Optimized Construction, GT Bicycles’ engineers develop some of the lightest, strongest and stiffest road and mountain bike frames available. ![]() The internal cable routing caused occasional problems with rear gear shifts because the short outer cable loop sitting between the mainframe and the rear triangle formed too tight a curve as the suspension compressed. It looks the part, it does the job, and the fact that it feels both stiff and lively under power suggests that the carbon layers and shapes have been well thought out. The almost organic curves, twists and spinal bulges of the frame shape are, presumably, a case of form following the desired function. ![]() That is the only issue that i have not had. I am 64' 245lbs and have never sheared a bolt and my i-drive 2.0 is a 2006. I use 2 flexbones also, but the std bolts are plenty long enough to handle it. The carbon front end is, not surprisingly, very different to what has gone before. I had a buddy machine i titanium flexbone and it broke pretty quick. Sizes: XS,SM,MD,LG,XL: Model Code: G27401M: Frame: GT 6061 T6 Aluminum Frame, Triple Triangle w/ Floating Seat. ![]() It has undergone many bike parts changes from its original spec but it is still a very fu. The stable and durable aluminum frame features internal cable routing to keep the frame looking clutter-free. In this Bike Shed video, I do a bike check on what GT Team iDrive. New tires new pedals tuned the whole thing. If you notice the bottom bracket where the cranks are, it pivots with the suspension under load for better climbing. This is the famous GT iDrive full suspension mountain bike. The rear triangle/swingarm is aluminium and apparently the same as on the new full aluminium frames. This wallet-friendly mountain bike is designed to pursue new thrills with confidence. Hey all,Just finished up another awesome mountain bike.

I am the original owner of the bike and have all of the original paperwork and owner's manuals that came with the bike- even the original $1,240 receipt. The bike is a solid daily rider as is, and had a full 'Pro Tune' 1 year ago. Newbie101 said: The 2007 GT i-Drive 4 4.0 Mountain Bike is now on sale for 749, down from 1099. It has good components and a great drive-train. This bike has been great to me and it handles the most intense trails in the area no problems- and it looks great! I am 6'0 tall and this bike should fit anyone 5'10 - 6'2, I would guess. ![]()
