The GT Grade Carbon Elite’s frame features the iconic Triple Triangle design, which uses floating seatstays to provide up to 30mm of “Gravel Travel,” absorbing trail vibrations without the need for complex suspension systems. This innovative design, combined with GT’s Dual Fiber Dynamics (DFD) technology, delivers a smooth ride on rough surfaces while maintaining the lightweight, stiff performance of a carbon frame. The frame also includes robust protection on the downtube for rock strikes and the chainstay to prevent chain slap, ensuring durability during your off-road adventures.
The Shimano GRX 400 drivetrain ensures reliable, precise shifting, whether you’re tackling steep climbs or fast descents. Paired with powerful GRX 400 hydraulic disc brakes, the Grade Carbon Elite provides confident braking performance even in wet or muddy conditions. The WTB ST i23 TCS wheels, paired with wide 700x40c WTB Vulpine tyres, offer excellent traction and comfort on gravel while remaining fast-rolling on tarmac.
With internal cable routing, compatibility for a dropper post, and Di2 compatibility, the GT Grade Carbon Elite is built for customisation and future upgrades, making it a reliable companion for long-distance gravel rides or everyday off-road adventures.
