• DURABLE & RELIABLE: Alloy Frame is built to handle the stresses of the toughest mountain trails, backed up with our industry leading Lifetime Frame Warranty.
• THIS IS AFFORDABLE PERFORMANCE, NOT ENTRY LEVEL: If you are just getting into mountain biking or returning after a long hiatus, this is the bike for you. New and returning riders don’t need “beginner bikes” they will outgrow in a year. You deserve affordable performance! The Gran Sasso delivers a high quality mix of components seen on bikes that cost $100’s more.
• ROLL OVER ANYTHING & STOP ON A DIME: Rugged 29er wheels and grippy tires propel riders of rocks, roots, and anything else in their path. Having the clearance of a 29er wheel makes climbing easier and more effective than ever. Climbing and speed are nothing if you can’t stop, so we added ultra-powerful Shimano M315 hydraulic disc brakes, for precision breaking in all terrain and weather conditions. These brakes provide double the stopping power of mechanical disc brakes, for your safest ride.
• YOU DESERVE A POWERFUL & COTROLLED RIDE: We equipped the Gran Sasso with the powerful gearing of a 24 speed full Shimano drivetrain that was built to climb. Power is nothing without comfort, so put a premium Suntour SF15-XCM fork with 100mm of travel. This fork easily pushes through rough terrain for a comfortable and adaptable ride. Finally, we added wide 680mm handlebar, which improves cornering and control, putting you in an optimized position to have your most powerful and controlled ride.
• BUILT TO LAST: All too often things are made cheaply and break before their time. We believe that bikes should be reliable and built to last. This is why we use the highest quality aluminum in our bikes, and back it with our industry leading lifetime warranty. We also use only Shimano components, which are backed up with Shimano’s two year warranty and are designed function better and last longer than anything else on the market. Ride with confidence, knowing your new bike was built to last!
