Novicebiker Posted July 6, 2021 Share Would a GT avalanche be a good buy Not planning on any hard core trails. Just good quality trustworthy bike for easy to moderate trails. Edited July 6, 2021 by Novicebiker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted July 6, 2021 Share The GT is a good solid bike. From your DM you are 1.74 so the small will be out you will need a Medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted July 6, 2021 Share GT make some good quality products. Both of these look well looked after and good spec. Look like a good price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small will be too small. The both seem to have Deore XT gearing and RockShox Tora forks. Both pretty decent and will handle most trails without problem. Price seems VERY good.

NoobBiker Posted July 8, 2021 Share I was in the same boat as you, have not ridden a bike for almost 20 years I was shocked to see prices in 2021, nevertheless I ended up with a Giant Talon 2. Fantastic for entry level. My first initial 2 choices were Titan and Silverback but they are like hens teeth on the new market. One of my friends also started with the GT and he is super happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars1967 Posted July 9, 2021 Share GT Make good bikes. My starter was a GT Avalanche 2. No issues whatsoever. Edited July 9, 2021 by Mars1967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
