GT is a brand founded in 1979 in Santa Ana (California), by Gary Turner and Richard Long, which deals with the production of road bikes, MTBs and BMX bikes. The bmx frames were not strong enough for the founders of GT and so the two decided to take advantage of their experience as car welders and engineers to make a more performing frame. The first frames were made of chrome-mobilden steel capable of making the bicycle light, robust and designed to improve performance. Extremely fast and resistant, the GT frames immediately became synonymous with quality and won more trophies than any other bike brand of the time.
In 1984 the company also entered the mtb sector by introducing its own GT Mountain Bike line with the immediate goal of becoming market leader in that sector too.
In the mid-90s, the company began making the first full suspension GT MTBs, actively contributing to both the development of technology and the development of the discipline.
Between the late 90s and early 2000s, the company designed the new i-Drive suspension system: a safer and more powerful suspension system with good impact absorption capacity.
Even in the 2000s GT Bikes continues to test and introduce innovative bikes on the market such as the first downhill bicycle in the world with the IT-1 gearbox, 29 "frames made entirely of carbon.
GT's goal has always been to help cyclists to challenge their limits on two wheels, providing them with a safe and innovative frame. The opinions and constant exchange of ideas between athletes and engineers of the GT team contribute to the birth and development of increasingly innovative and performing bicycles.
