// GT GRADE CARBON EXPERT 2020CONQUERING THE TERRAINFor riders who want to explore the world on a bicycle, nothing beats having a gravel bike. With a gravel bike, you can continue riding when the pavement ends and the dirt begins. The paths you can take are unlimited. The GT Grade Carbon Expert is engineered to take you further and faster. It is a versatile and compliant bike that is loaded with features. It starts with a carbon fiber frame that has an EnduRoad Triple Triangle Design that features Floating Seatstays that provide more vertical compliance for a more comfortable ride. The fork has a Flip Chip that provides 15mm of adjustability that allows you to go from 55mm to 70mm of fork offset. That means you can either have a more playful ride or a more stable ride. The frame is also compatible with up to 42mm tires so you can get the maximum traction wherever you ride.The Expert model of the GT Grade Carbon comes with a Shimano 105 2x11-speed drivetrain. The cassette on the rear has an excellent 11-34-tooth gear range that makes climbing much easier without sacrificing top-end speed. When it comes to descending, the Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes provide exceptional stopping power so you can descend with confidence. WTB ST i23 rims are tubeless-ready and are paired with WTB Riddler tubeless-ready tires. This means you can ditch the tubes for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flats. With the GT Carbon seatpost, you'll have a slightly smoother ride compared to an aluminum seatpost.FeaturesCarbon frame with an EnduRoad Triple Triangle Design with Floating SeatstaysFlip Chip on the fork so you can go from 55mm to 70mm of fork offsetShimano 105 drivetrain shifts beautifully and is reliable when riding in the dirtShimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes provide confidence-inspiring stopping powerWTB tubeless-ready rims for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flatsSPECIFICATIONSFrameCarbon Fiber, EnduRoad Triple Triangle Design, Floating SeatstaysForkCarbon Fiber, Flip Chip Axle Positioning, 12x100mmHeadsetFSA No.44, Integrated, Sealed BearingShiftersShimano 105 Hydro Disc, 2x11Front DerailleurShimano 105, Braze-OnRear DerailleurShimano 105 GSCranksetFSA Omega Adventure, 46/30Bottom BracketFSA PressFit 30Pedals-ChainKMC X11CassetteShimano 105, 11-34TBrakesShimano 105 Hydro DiscWheelsetWTB ST i23 TCS, Tubeless-ReadyTiresWTB Riddler, 700x37cHandlebarGT DropTube Super Light, 6061 Aluminum, 16deg FlareStemGT Design 3D Forged 6061Bar TapeVelo Cork, 3mmSeatpostGT Carbon, 27.2mmSeatclamp-SaddleFabric Scoop Radius SportIntended UseGravel, AdventureWeight-Note: Components are subject to change without notice.METRICINCHGT Grade CarbonSize4851555861A: Seat Tube Length457494531568605B: Effective Top Tube545559574587602C: Stack546568590612634D: Reach378385394400408E: BB Height284286286289289F: BB Drop7573737070G: Head Tube Length119145162187210H: Head Tube Angle70.5 deg70.5 deg72.3 deg72.3 deg72.3 degI: Seat Tube Angle73 deg73 deg73 deg73 deg73 degJ: Standover Height731760791824851K: Chainstay Length430430430430430L: Wheelbase10271043104310551070GT Grade CarbonSize4851555861A: Seat Tube Length18.019.420.922.423.8B: Effective Top Tube21.522.022.623.123.7C: Stack21.522.423.224.125.0D: Reach14.915.215.515.716.1E: BB Height11.211.311.311.411.4F: BB Drop3.02.92.92.82.8G: Head Tube Length4.75.76.47.48.3H: Head Tube Angle70.5 deg70.5 deg72.3 deg72.3 deg72.3 degI: Seat Tube Angle73.0 deg73.0 deg73.0 deg73.0 deg73.0 degJ: Standover Height28.829.931.132.433.5K: Chainstay Length16.916.916.916.916.9L: Wheelbase40.441.141.141.542.1 | GT Grade Carbon Expert 2020 48cm, Jade
