GT Distortion

[yuroshek]

Picked up a Distortion the other day, must say this bike is rad! Im riding the size medium which is a bit small for me If I want to ride it as an XC bike (I'm 5'10"). The medium is awesome for a DS/4x bike. If you wanted to ride it XC I would def get the Large if your close to my height. The longer seat tube and TT will help get your legs stretched out a bit more. I have ridden it a few times on some local mini DH runs and it is rad, handles everything that my full DH bike does. Even tho it only has 112mm of rear travel the way the suspension is design makes it feel like a 6" bike. The headangle puts a huge factor in its DH style ride at 66.5* HA makes the 4" travel bike real comfortable on the mountain. Very stiff frame as well really awesome bike. Ill be putting this bike thru its paces and see how she handles some bigger mountains real soon.

In all seriousness, can it climb with a properly extended post?

Yes, I just installed a longer post on it today. Need to change the gearing, its really set up DH right now with a 36t chainring and a 11-26t cassette. so once I change the gearing a round it will be a real mountain killer.

GT looking good again

I always had a soft spot for GT since it was my first BMX back in the 80's

So after the last bunch of years being a crappy walmart brand, its amazing to see them rise up again.

I have to say, looks wise, it's VERY pretty. it'll probably slay on IndyX.

cool bikes indeed. My LBS has a medium one in and it feels pretty good. The appeal to me would be that you could pedal it uphill like an XC style bike and then rail down a jump trail like a slopestyle bike. The US version comes with a travel adjust seatpost. They come in 15.8 and 17.8 seat tube lengths so plenty of room to raise the seat up and still low enough to get it out of the way

The only downside is it has a whole lot of purple bling. Some may pull it off but it seems a bit loud to be pedaling around on some 4 hour XC rides in the backcountry. Also there is no frame only option for the US. I would love a low travel XC/AM bike that could pull double duty as a DJ fully
