jaykav27 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Hi All *Not sure if this is the correct forum section, sorry if not. I have some silly questions, but I hope someone with some knowledge regarding the GT Fury’s can help me please. I want to buy a GT Fury 1.0 alloy? What is the difference between the 1.0 and 3.0 alloy frame?, I can’t find any differences on the net, I’m assuming it’s the different year model maybe 2012/2013? Also I’m very concerned about the size of the medium frame, I’m only a wee 174cm / 5.7feet, the info on the net says the frame is slightly smaller then most DH bikes, is this correct? im hoping the medium frame will fit me then, as I also have a Trance x medium, any thoughts on this would be great?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 no difference apart from colours. 1.0 2.0 & 3.0 refer to the parts spec level when the bike is new. As for sizing, that I cannot answer/.
NicoBoshoff Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I am 183cm and ride a Large 2013 Fury. Fits me fine. So at 10cm shorter than me the Large will probably be a bit big for you.
jaykav27 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Awesome thanks Nico, yup I also measured my current Dh and trail bike, and im sure the medium will be perfect for me.
Mada3400 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I know a guy who burnt through omnico's entire stock of those frames, destroying everything from the plastic bearings and bushings in the linkages to pushing dents in the frame where the shock mounts the front triangle just by riding it

Mine had a small crack at that spot, but a good TIG weld sorted it out.Weird how the guy I know that wins IXS races on this exact same frame never had a failure.

At least until the warranty's been honoured
