GT Grade Carbon frame, raw

The GT Grade Carbon frame is more comfortable, versatile and adjustable than ever before. With a new look and purposeful redesign of the iconic Triple Triangle, the new GT Grade is designed for longer and faster rides on a wide variety of surfaces.

The new GT Grade model brings a completely redesigned Triple Triangle frame triangle, which has floating rear struts compared to the original model. Thanks to greater vertical compliance, this solution increases comfort during all-day rides in various terrains.

The front fork is equipped with flip chip technology for the highest two carbon variants and allows you to adjust the geometry of the bike to the terrain by changing the position of the front axle and choose between increased stability or sharper steering. The axis can be moved by 15 mm and thus increase the offset of the feet from 55 mm to 70 mm. A smaller offset is ideal for gravel race days, 70 mm comes in handy when the bike is fully loaded with bikepacking bags.

The seatstays of the rear structure are made of a mixture of light carbon and glass fibers. A solid fiberglass core adds toughness and cushioning capabilities. The outer layer of carbon fibers increases rigidity. GT refers to this connection as Dual Fiber Dynamics. Riders thus ride a bicycle that increases control while riding and reduces fatigue.

For long journeys and endless adventure, the Grade is equipped with mounting points on the fork and frame. So you can clip a pannier to the top tube, the fork has 'anything cage' points and the alloy frames have bottle mounting points on the seatstays too!

The patency of the tires is also an important parameter. The GT Grade Carbon follows the current trends where bikes fit 37mm tires, which is a good compromise for both road and gravel riding. However, the bike can accommodate a width of up to 42mm for a true off-road adventure.

GT Grade is designed with ease of service in mind and is based on the brand's philosophy. The shift and brake cabling is thus routed through the outside of the frame. The Di2 and telescopic seat post, which do not require frequent replacement or service, then have internal routing for a clean look of the frame. The Grade also has no specific components, so riders can easily customize the bike to their own preferences.
