I bought my GT Aggressor 2 six months ago. I had my heart set on a Kona or Specialized bike but opted for the GT Aggressor 2 because Halfords had a special discount offer on at the time and I could collect the bike from my local store fully assembled and ready to ride. I checked out as many reviews of the bike as I could beforehand and was very encouraged by what other owners had reported about it. Initially I was delighted when I took delivery. It looked great and seemed smooth and well built. However the more I got to use the bike under varying circumstances the more and more disappointed I became. I ve found it very heavy to ride especially off road, the gear changes have been awful and required attention several times, the bike squeakes and squeales too. I can't get a comfortable grip on the handlebars either. Overall I ve been very disappointed with this bike and wish I stuck to buying a Kona or Spealized. My advice - try before you buy !
