What is the GT Avalanche?
Think of the latest Avalanche as GT’s high-end recreational mountain bike.
All of GT’s Avalanche level aluminium frames feature:
- A tapered head tube (it makes the frame much stronger).
- Double-butted frame construction (which makes the frame lighter).
- Internal cable routing (for a clean look).

Who should buy the Avalanche?
The GT Avalanche is for riders who want an above average mountain bike.
You are:
- Wanting robust components.
- Riding easy off-road trails.
- Also riding rail trails and bike paths with mates or the family.
GT Avalanche Sport.
And the range starts off with the Avalanche Sport.
It’s designed for riders who are cruising on bike paths and trails for general fitness rides.
The Sport is the only model that comes with 2 front gears and 9 rear gears (18 gears in total). Plus it has hydraulic disc brakes and lockout suspension.
So it ticks all the boxes for an excellent mid-range mountain bike.
GT Avalanche Comp.
Next, the Avalanche Comp.
It’s the first model in the range to use a 1x (pronounced “1 by”) gear system.
This means:
No front derailleur, cable or gear shifter = less moving parts. So, less maintenance.
10 gears on the back deliver a wide range of gears. Plus, more robust components make it a better model for off-road trails.
GT Avalanche Elite.
Moving to the Avalanche Elite, riders get 3 important upgrades - suspension, tyres and gears.
Stuff that is crucial to consider if you’re going to be spending time on entry-level mountain bike trails.
Or perhaps you’re not, and you simply want a smoother ride on dirt and gravel trails and better quality gears.
GT Avalanche Expert.
And lastly, the stealth Avalanche Expert is the best in the Avalanche range.
This model is intended for riders who are spending more time off-road (such as Lysterfield Park or the You Yangs - Kurrajong side).
SRAM’s SX Eagle 12-speed gearing is paired to Rock Shox air spring suspension (with a remote lockout) to deliver the best possible off-road experience.
