GT Bikes: the cult brand from California

BMX roots, the legendary Zaskar and the Grade as a gravel pioneer: find out what GT stands for, which technology defines the bikes and which models you can find in our shop.

The history of GT

GT's story begins in California in 1972. In his garage, Gary Turner builds steel BMX frames that are far more robust than anything else available at the time. Together with Richard Long he founds GT Bicycles, which quickly becomes one of the leading BMX manufacturers.

In the 1980s GT turns to mountain biking and shapes the scene for decades. Riders such as Hans Rey, Brian Lopes, Eric Carter and the Athertons won numerous races and titles on GT. The Zaskar is still one of the best-known hardtails ever, and the Grade was one of the first true gravel bikes.

Technology that defines GT

Triple Triangle

The seat stays attach to the top tube in front of the seat tube instead of to the seat tube itself. This creates a third triangle that makes the frame stiffer (Zaskar) or more comfortable, depending on the design.

Floating Stays

On the Grade, the seat stays pass the seat tube. This lets the rear end flex slightly and absorb impacts on gravel and rough tarmac.

I-Drive

The Independent Drivetrain system decoupled drivetrain and suspension on older GT full-suspension bikes. The goal: efficient pedalling without rear-end bob.

LTS rear end

The modern four-bar rear end of the Sensor and Force. Flip chips let you adapt the geometry to the trail and your riding style.

Frequently asked questions about GT

Are there still new GT bikes?

At the end of 2024 GT paused the development of new models. In our shop you can get the last models from our stock, many of them heavily discounted, while stocks last.

Can I still get spare parts for my GT?

Yes. We continue to offer derailleur hangers and many small parts. If you can't find your part, get in touch and we will help you find it.

What does Triple Triangle mean?

With the Triple Triangle, the seat stays attach to the top tube in front of the seat tube. This creates a third triangle in the frame. It is GT's signature design and, depending on the model, tuned for stiffness or comfort.

Which frame size do I need?

That depends on your height and inseam. You will find the manufacturer's size recommendation below the description on every product page. If you are between two sizes, our team is happy to advise you.

Yes, you can also get any bike through bike leasing via your employer. Find out more on our bike leasing page.
