AVALANCHE ELITE When progress is the goal, Avalanche Elite is the gear. For aspiring riders who have ignited a love for off-road riding, this aluminum hardtail is rigged with a 120mm travel fork to absorb the impact when riding more technical trails and is built with GT’s efficient Triple Triangle frame design with floating seat stays for more back-seat comfort on rougher terrain, great climbing traction and better handling. The simple 1x11 drivetrain means smoother transitions with a large gear range to make the uphill easier.
