GT Grade Carbon Expert 2018 road bike
Gravel bike, carbon frame, carbon fork, carbon seat post, Shimano BR-M365 hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano 105 2x11 gearing, bike for all roads - paved and unpaved.
The GT Grade Carbon Expert is a bike for riders who love the speed and capability of a road bike, but don't want to just ride the tarmac. In this case, the journey is more important than the destination itself, and on this carbon Grade you will enjoy every minute spent behind the handlebars. You will appreciate the playfulness and quality of the gravel bike on gravel, forest roads and even in the city. The GT Grade Carbon Expert bicycle is built on a high-quality and light carbon frame. The rear struts are composed of composite fiberglass and carbon. The solid core provides high stiffness, while the carbon outer layers act as an additional vibration dampener. The Shimano 105 2x11 gear range is ideal for both hills and straights. Shimano BR-M365 hydraulic disc brakes will keep you safe on downhills, in the wet and in the mud. The low center gives the rider confidence in the terrain and beyond. The passability of the rear structure allows you to wear wider tires for greater comfort and use a thicker sample for a feeling of security.
The geometry of the GT Grade Carbon Expert is characterized by a longer wheelbase, a higher head tube and a lower angle of the carbon fork and is a guarantee of a stable and comfortable driving performance.

All bicycles at the MTBIKER shop are new, not-ridden, from an official distributor and with a full warranty. Several brands even offer a lifetime warranty on the frame after registration. We perform all warranty services in MTBIKER stores after personal delivery or after sending the bike (or its part) by courier.
- The bicycle is taken out of the manufacturer's box
- The bicycle is assembled, inspected and adjusted (front and rear derailleur, shock, fork, wheels,...)
- The bicycle is carefully packed back into a box and shipped
- If you order a bicycle for in store pick up or home delivery, the bicycle will be waiting put together, checked and ready to use for you.
- If you order a bicycle via courier to your home address, the following must be done at home:
- Take the bike out of the box and carefully remove safety material and foils
- Mount handlebar to stem (1 minute, 4 or 5 mm hex hey is needed).
- Mount front wheel to fork (1 minute, without the need of any tools if the bike has a quick release).
- Loosen the screws in the headset, straighten the stem with the front wheel, tighten the upper screw on the fork and then tighten the headset (2 minutes, 4 or 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Mount the pedals to the cranks while lubricating the thread and carefully mounting it the right way (1 minute, 8 mm hex key or 15 mm wrench).
- Mount seatpost to frame (10 seconds, without needing any tools if the frame has a quick link).
- Inflate the tyres or fork and shock to desired pressure (2 minutes, pump needed).
- Check the tightening of hex keys and quick-releases (2 minutes, 4 and 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Go for a test drive! Handle your bicycle carefully until you get used to it. If the bike has disc brakes, their performance will be limited from now on - they will gain their full power after 4-5 strong brakes at higher speed.
