Lopes 55 GT production model - released in 2007!
It is with great excitement that we announce the release of the Lopes 55 GT MTB special edition race bike.
The Lopes 55 GT will definitely get you some bragging rights; with a custom designed paint job, a special edition Lopes 4X Marzocchi fork & ODI grips that aren’t available to the public any where else.
This production model version of Lopes’ race bike is based on a GT Zaskar frame, designed with Brian’ 4X geometry. The Lopes 55 will first hit the European market on Dec./Jan. followed by its US debut in Jan./February of 2007.”I think it is one of the coolest looking bikes in the GT line & I am really happy with how it was put together” said Brian Lopes 3X World Champion
“The Lopes 55 is the closest thing to a factory works bike that we've ever offered. Some of the parts that are spec'd on this bike aren't even available over the counter. GT sells what it races and the Lopes 55 is proof of that.” Robert Kahler/GT Tech. Division
