Great finishing touches
The GT Avalanche has a lightweight frame for a responsive ride. RockShox/SR Suntour forks with 100mm travel give better grip, keeping your front wheel on the ground for more traction and less stress on your wrists. There’s also a 27-speed drivetrain and Continental Race King Tyres for great grip, fast rolling and durability.

As it’s within the usual Cycle to Work scheme threshold, it makes a great commuting choice, especially as it’s rugged enough to withstand winter conditions.
