I had a GT fury once, it was a road bike.
RE: reliability. The latest batch have apparently been outstanding. Although, you would think they'd send one of those down here for testing, since Kiwi's seem to be the best in the world at breaking GT's.
I think Scolzys record in Morzine was 4 days to crack a brand new swing arm. Those things werer worse than cheese.
He broke one here at one of our races so only got one race run
I remember when Ragdoll was the first person to break the new DHI, his swingwarm ended up in 2 pieces, the rear section dug into the ground and ejected him OTB. really poor design, built in stress risers pretty much.

Isn't that what they did? Wasn't Dodzy riding round on a prototype DHi last year?

Interesting that they are using carbon for better durability than aluminium alloy, not weight saving. This thing is still going to be around 39lb built up.

Whoa, GT have really stepped up the aesthetics, the force and stuff are the first GT's I haven't hated the look of, and they've continued this with the DH bike
... Providing it stays in one piece. It has a little too much hump too.

39lbs with an air shock. So not bad, but not particulary awesome either. Looks good tho.

Yup, it was sent down with the express orders to try and kill it.

Still rocking as far as I know...
Yarp - last time I saw it it was still going strong, and still regularly getting thrashed on Southstar Shuttles
I can imagine Dodzy's been a bit distracted with the Zero lately though - which reminds me, I've got some more stuff to write
