About GT
GT has been in the bicycle business since 1972. They have seen fads come and go, but one thing has remained the same after all these years... The reason we are still here. It’s the same reason we threw our legs over our very first bike – pure fun, plain and simple. Even now, when we ride with our buddies, you can guarantee that there are hi-fives, laughs and the post-ride hang at the end of the day. We remain true to the good times on two wheels which GT was founded on because Fun is Serious Business.

FAQs
What is the recommended tire pressure?
The ideal tire pressure depends on the trail conditions, your weight, and riding style. Start with the tire manufacturer's recommended pressure and adjust accordingly. Generally, lower pressures provide more grip, while higher pressures reduce rolling resistance.
How often should I service the suspension?
The frequency of suspension service depends on your riding frequency and the conditions. It's recommended to service the fork and shock annually, or more often if you ride frequently or in harsh conditions.
What size bike should I get?
Refer to the GT sizing chart to determine the appropriate size based on your height. Consider your inseam and riding preferences when choosing a size.
How do I clean the bike?
Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the bike. Avoid using high-pressure washers, which can force water into bearings. Rinse thoroughly and dry the bike before storing it.
What kind of pedals does the bike come with?
The bike does not come with pedals. You will need to purchase and install pedals separately.
What is the warranty on the frame?
GT offers a warranty on the frame. Refer to the GT website or your local dealer for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Poor shifting performance.
Adjust the rear derailleur, check for cable tension, and ensure the derailleur hanger is straight. Replace worn cables if needed.
Brakes feel spongy.
Bleed the brakes to remove air bubbles from the brake lines. Check brake pads for wear.
Suspension feels harsh.
Adjust the suspension settings (e.g., air pressure, compression damping) to match your weight and riding style. Ensure the suspension is clean and lubricated.
Tires lose air frequently.
Ensure the tires are set up tubeless, or check for punctures in the tire and sealant.
