Got a used 2017 model as my first bike. I gotta say that the frame is fantastic. There is something about that Triple triangle design that actually works. Feel a little jipped because mine came with a 3x7 megadrive and a zoom fork, but a great bike to do a cheap upgrade on.
I've just bought this bike (Although not the expert one, just the red one) and it's brilliant. Although I'm a novice rider and looking to get into shape, this bike looks like it'll do me for a good while.
Got this bike a short while ago. It is as it says in the review a good entry bike. I haven’t had to spend too much and I’m getting to feel my way around the trails without over investing. And yes it is a capable bike tackling some decent local trails. It’s a good all rounder imop especially for someone who wants a bike to explore rather than bomb DH all the time!
This bike is a blast. Excellent starting point hardtail. I have had it now for 4 years. I have modified the drivetrain to a Deore 1x11. I’ve kept the original fork but service it frequently and it gives great service. I have also changed the bottom bracket and cranks. It is now almost 2,5kgs lighter and I love each of the more than 4000km this bike has given me. GT Aggressor Expert is a great bike.
I saw this on sale in my local bike shop and been ignoring it thinking it is like one of those almost disposable mountain bikes flooding the market (disposable coz they’re so cheaply made you might realise maintaining it isn’t worth it). Glad i stumble upon this. Now im thinking buying one.
Hi, I’m looking at getting a mountain bike, I always remember GT being a great make back in the 90’s. I don’t want to spend anymore than £400, is this possible ?
I have the 2019 one i got in December 2019 havent done that much but have done a bit of trail riding downhill and enduro sadly i bent the front rim badly during some downhill riding. Im gonna fix it thoughso should last another while
Aggressor is slightly bigger by few cm according to size chart and avalanche cables goes through the frame while aggressor outside but otherwise it's almost the same model.
This is funny because my derailer hanger broke off and got caught in the spokes yesterday (the whole pulley system broke away from the body, but no spikes were broke)
@@Andrew2004 my budget bike that i bought at walmart has a tapered headtube...schwinn axum...i didnt have $2k to spend on a bike either..my axum is worth closer to $1k now that i have had it almost a year and have done upgrades but yeah..i live in the budget world as well..tapered should be there at this point..have a good one
@@dgaround to be honest if you are on a budget you are going to upgrade to something like a rockshox recon and nothing more so if you have a tapered or not does not really matter
@@Andrew2004 if youre on a true budget you can find tapered forks all over the internet. even a rockshox judy can come with a tapered tube. which would fit in every single new schwinn that came out in 2020.sorry i have a different opinion than you but in 2021 even a GT aggressor should be coming with a taper and a 1x..no reason they shouldnt be doing that by now..upgrading is completely different..but buying it stock in 2021..it should have a tapered headtube (if the person wants to look at better forks) and it should come with a 1x...no excuse why they cant as a big company..
as far as upgrading and "budget" all of that is subjective to each ones budget..but for a company like GT in 2021 still doing straight tubes and 3x up front and schwinn selling at walmart with 1x and tapers....it just makes me wonder the thought process is all

It’s capable if the rider is capable. If you rely on your bike to manage the trail, then this won’t do that for you. For beginners it’s going to require them to build their skills as they tackle more adventurous terrain.

Not too bad, the only thing that’s gone wrong was that the chain came off, but I was able to put it back on.
@@masteryoda498 But I assume comfortable to ride?I am only going to use mine casually lol
@@EZ1111
Yes, very much so, the gears shift well, and the brakes work well.
@@masteryoda498 nice one lad lol I’m gonna cop in 2 weeks time I need an entry bike
The “flow score” says more about the pilot than the bike... I like his honest appraisal of the bike, entry level and see how ya go
The saddle looks almost identical to the one on my GT outpost from over 20 years ago!

I'm looking at buying this bike but in silver for £350 for my next brand new mountain bike. Great video.
I have the 2019 one i got in December 2019 havent done that much but have done a bit of trail riding downhill and enduro sadly i bent the front rim badly during some downhill riding. Im gonna fix it thoughso should last another while
I will keep riding my Nucleus!
I would too If I could get one. Been trying for months. Never in stock.
Sending it down the line with dorkdisc and reflectors blazing
Me la compré y la amo...
A cuanto te salio compa ? Ando por comprarme la misma
700 dólares. La vdd la estoy disfrutando mucho
La expert me compré
Does this bike will be good in downhill for beginner if I only start ?
Can it fit 2.35 tires?
Top notch 👍🏻
Does the Sport and Expert frameset made out of the same material? Sorry for my bad english
Please tell me what was the stock bottom bracket and spindle length, 73 x?
I have a 2021 Gt Agressor Expert 29er
Don't know how I feel about it Tbh, I think a 27.5 Bike might be better suited for me.
Is it same with spec x caliber 7 trek?
Would anyone know which rear child seat will fit on this bike, considering it's got a triple triangle design with 29 inch wheels ?
Avalanche and aggressor same frame?
Aggressor is slightly bigger by few cm according to size chart and avalanche cables goes through the frame while aggressor outside but otherwise it's almost the same model.
@@sergeyloverow2105 thanks boss, 1yr ago bago nasagot, last dec2022 i already bought cyclocross RB hehe
This is funny because my derailer hanger broke off and got caught in the spokes yesterday (the whole pulley system broke away from the body, but no spikes were broke)
Hanger is designed to break so the frame doesn't absorb the impact and bend.
GT Avalanche when?
They only sell small, medium and xlarge frames. According to size guide. For a 172cm guy its a medium frame. Can anyone help what to orde
i'm same height as u do u get a medium
I'm 6 ft 1 what Size bike should I get?
Looks like you might be in between a L and XL I'd recommend looking at the size charts on our website for each specific bike!
❤cool
does all gt avalanche 2021 lineup tapered?
Semi-integrated, Sealed Cartridge, Tapered
Who cares about ‘flow’? It’s either fun factor (LTHT) or down right speed (XC) that counts for me.
how does this not have a taper...how does it not come with a 1x......2021...
