2009 GT Sanction 2.0 Mountain Bike (Freeride)
The modern bicycle was invented in the mid-19th century so it is safe to say that Sir Isaac Newton never owned a mountain bike. However, had he owned a GT Sanction 2.0, he surely would have discovered classic physics much sooner than being hit in the head by a piece of fruit
You see, when riding the Sanction 2.0, you will very quickly learn that when you are in motion, you will totally stay in motion. Luckily, the friendly folks at GT are familiar with this concept and have given you all the tools you need to both stay in motion, and if you so chose, mingle with outside forces.
The 6061 monocoque frame is burly enough to maintain momentum while the 6 inches of rear wheel travel will ensure there is no wasted work. The SRAM X.7 shifters will smoothly utilize some solid mechanical advantage while the Avid Juicy 5 hydraulic disc brakes will keep you well within control of both friction and outside forces. However, gravity is constant. So be prepared to encounter any equal and opposite force with the RockShox Domain front fork with 160mm of travel and the rear chock’s FOX DHX Air 4.0.
