GT Grade Expert
Details
Engineered to take you further and faster, the Grade is more compliant, versatile, and adjustable than ever before.
Floating Stays
All-day rideability
- More vertical compliance on both aluminum and carbon models than the previous generation of Grade for a more comfortable time in the saddle, no matter the terrain.
Removable Fender Bridge
- Keep the skid marks on the trail.
Flatmount Brakes
- Grade Alloy is native 140 rear and 160mm front.
Mounting Points Galore
- All the frame and fork mounts for all the bags and bottles you need for a long tour. The Grade comes with top tube feed bag bosses and fork leg “anything cage” bosses. The alloy frame even has bottle bosses on the Seat Stays, that’s pretty unique!
Tire Clearance
- All Grades are spec’d with 37c width tires, but can easily accommodate up to 42mm measured clearance.
