“gt avalanche”
Written on: 27/04/2018 by ubBrooks351 (1 review written)
Bought one for my son. 900 Australian dollars. Today the derailleur hanger broke. No wonder! The fool who designed the hanger placed one of the securing screw holes right through the point of most mechanical stress. No wonder it broke. I then had to spend an hour on the net trying to find a replacement (ever seen how many different derailleur hangers there are - ridiculous) Other than this rubbish part the rest seems Ok quality, but the best bike in the world is of little use with a… Read Full Review

“This is a rip off”
Written on: 17/11/2011
This bike is a disaster; I have had a gt 3 2012 for 4 months now I had to have it serviced nearly every 4 weeks and even had a breakdown whilst cycling on the road the rear derailleur just folded into it self the best part of all this they would not replace there part nor would they return it so that I may attach a photo of their failed product. Changing gears is a nightmare it will work for a day or two after you had it serviced then its back to its normal jumping. Don’t even think about… Read Full Review

Written on: 18/09/2010
Great looking bike for a start, and a great range of colours.
I brought a GT agressor 1 second hand off ebay, for around £300. The ride was a bit of a slog going uphill and on road. However, as soon as it pointed downhill, it really was a beautiful ride. I found it flowed really well, was very forgiving, and had a great ride position. Also, due to the incredibly small weight, it was very easy to hop, and use on jumps.
The only real problems i found was that the rear deralier snapped off…

Been riding one of these for the past two months, solidly built and very easy to control. Gear change is smooth and precise, mine came with hydraulic brakes and not the cable ones mentioned in product spec. Lock out front forks are great when it comes to uphill sections… Read Full Review

“Bought 2 today, one for my daughter, one for me. ...”
Written on: 19/02/2009
Bought 2 today, one for my daughter, one for me. Looking for 75% road 25% trail entry level bikes.
Great value, but far from perfect. I am having a tough time keeping front disc brake wheel rub from occuring on each of our bikes. It seems the builders just cocked the front wheel before locking it, to preclude the rub, but solid construction. Shifters worked well on first ride. Comfortable ride. Looks good. Purchased on close out for $360.00 each…

I just love everything about this one. Im a big Gt fan but the Avalanche is a great all round bike, it cannot be faulted… Read Full Review

“Although heavier tham my daughters Giant Rock, GT...”
Written on: 11/09/2005 by mistral55 (1 review written)
Although heavier tham my daughters Giant Rock, GT Avalanche is a far better propostion for a bike that will be used as much on road as on the rough stuff. having said that. I chose to scare myself silly by going down Rivington Pike in a fit of bravado, (15 years ago I chickened out of attempting this on my old Raleigh & watched my mates career down on assorted Orange, Kona, Cannondales etc). The GT coasted the run with absolute aplomb & instilled a sense of security, welcome to this TOG… Read Full Review

Ramtin's Response to 209803_mistral55's Review
Written on: 31/03/2006
I couldn't have put it better myself on all points. I've had an Avalanche 1.0 for over 2 years now, and apart from the odd niggle (e.g. your comment on paint) it's been a sturdy steed.
