 Dans a really good talker, not something most athletes are good at.

 You'd think GT would want it marketed more as "All Mountain" racing, rather than (their major competitor, the Specialized) Enduro. Realistically, they could have referred to it by either title.

 I must say, I'm not usually a fan of GT but that bike is raw.

 The global market for GT Bicycles is far more reaching than the US. That is why its listed as enduro. NAETMTB.COM will give you a heads up on US enduro racing for 2012. Aeither way its good foe the sport...we need more USA exposure!

 I own a GT Sanction, the bike totally shreds. The geometry is super efficient and the independent drivetrain helps with the already great feel of the bike. In my opinion, its the ultimate enduro/AM bike.

 Anyone notice their black and yellow GT gear? Reminds me of the Mongoose team in RAD.

 W was kinda skeptical at first with the transition to GT but it seems to be giving a positive vibe to the Athertons. Cant wait to see how these guys progress on such nice bikes!

 Looking good with the fresh start with GT, liking the bikes, never really been into GTs but these are sick. I actually like them in plain old white as well.

 one bike to do it all. bout time i'd say.

 There is simply no such thing as one bike that does it all- not that does it all well anyway.

 Its dam close, you can ride it dh, ds, xc, sd. I even ride mine on my pump track, its a very versatile bike, depending on your setup. That bike slays trails better than other bikes that cost twice the amount. And Gt service is hands down the best.

 I had a commencal meta 4x which i used for a bit of everything. I was convinced it was awesome at everything until I snapped it! Having an all rounder is handy sometimes- but now I like the idea of going different places as an excuse to use my different bikes!
  • + 1
 Totally agree! I snapped two frames from improper use and abuse. Now I try a new approach with a specific bike per each style of riding. That is the true way to go. More fun as well.
