GT Avalanche Comp 29 2019 Frame

The GT Avalanche Comp 29 (2019) is built on a T6 Aluminium hardtail frame. This frame has GT’s patented triple triangle design geometry. The geometry also offers an even weight distribution and also helps absorb vibrations of the trail, which in turn gives the rider a comfortable riding experience.

The SR Suntour XCM-DS front suspension fork comes with a massive 100mm travel. This suspension fork worked smoothly and the manual hydraulic suspension lockout helped making the fork rigid and hence helps to ride faster on flatter surfaces.

GT Avalanche Comp 29 2019 Design

The Avalanche Comp 29 which I test rode came in a full Red frame with Black as the secondary colour for text and graphics. The gloss paint job was of great quality which made the Bicycle shine. The triple triangle frame design was neat and elegant with thin tubing with smoothly welded edges.

GT Avalanche Comp 29 2019 Gearing

This hardtail MTB is equipped with a 2x9-Speed Shimano Deore at the rear and Alivio at the front as the derailleurs drivetrain. This drivetrain is performance-focused and shifts smoothly. The Shimano Alivio Rapid Fire 18-Speed shifters were easy to use with a swift spring action.

GT Avalanche Comp 29 2019 Brakes and Steering

The Shimano Hydraulic Disc brakes were powerful, reactive and balanced to use during the test ride. These brakes are ideal for fast trail rides and the brake levers needed only 2-3 fingers to engage them.

The All-Terra MTB Alloy handlebar was 720mm wide and this made sure the rider was open chested and therefore having total control over the bicycle.

GT Avalanche Comp 29 2019 Wheels and Saddle

The Avalanche Comp 29 (2019) rolls on a pair of 29” x 2.25” WTB Transition tires. These tires were heavily treaded with bulky buttons which were evenly spread. The 29” circumference made sure the tires could roll over any obstacle on the trail with ease. The All Terra MTB specific Saddle was ergonomically designed to make sure the rider’s sit bones are perfectly placed on the widest points of the saddle.

This hardtail MTB is strong yet lightweight with a simple frame geometry which makes it easy to climb. The 100mm suspension fork and Hydraulic Lockout made the rider smoother and comfortable. The Hydraulic Disc brakes were powerful on both wet and dry trails. The 29” tires were heavily treaded and made it ideal for the roughest of trails. Priced at Rs.45,385 (as on 1st July 2019) the GT Avalanche Comp 29 (2019) is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy an MTB for trail riding.
