Like i said this is an opinion, thought id start writing about some bikes ive ridden in the past to present. If you disagree id love to hear about why but dont be a d*ck. Now to the review!

Now I got this bike back in 2013, my first full suspension mountain bike. It had a suntour epicon fork, wtb somethin or other rims, fox float shock and a sram x7 3×8 drivetrain. Now this bike was old when i got it but I was excited to finally have my first full suspension mountain bike. Now this bike has been with me everywhere from my home state California to Park City Utah for an event called press camp. To this day this is still my favorite bike. Now I gotta say the i drive suspension system on this works incredibly well. A ton of people complain about it and I cant see why? It provided a surprisingly smooth and enjoyable ride even with only 120mm of travel. Its climbing performance was genuinely great, almost better than my 2017 EVIL Insurgent. It had great traction on steep and technical climbs (the short wheelbase probably helped). The components on it were genuinely great! Although the rear shock was old and had no lockout it performed just fine. Now the thing to this day that still surprised me the most were the brakes. They were old Avid brakes that worked insanely well. I mean they were comparable to my shimano xtr brakes. It was insane and i only bled them 1 time. That bike got ridden over 5000 miles and only one bleed! Now that was a quick and unorganized review of my GT. I would like to go more in depth but im falling asleep on my keyboard. I'll prolly do a review once a week till i run out of bikes ive ridden.
