Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Well Built, Comfortable, Durable, High Quality, Lightweight

"I’ve owned this bike for 8 months now, so long enough to make a fair assessment of the bike and it’s components. The main things to say about it are, it’s light, nimble, comfortable and very well equipped. The Fox Step Cast fork is very plush with excellent small bump sensitivity. It provides plenty of feel and grip for the trail without feeling harsh and choppy like some XC forks can. The XT brakes are sublime, the reach and bite adjustments work very well to tailor the feel of the brakes to your preference. They are the most powerful and confidence inspiring brakes I’ve used on a MTB. They are also the quietest brakes I’ve used, they never squeal like most disc brakes do from time to time. The drivetrain is very good, crisp shifting and plenty of range from the 1x11 to suit most needs. It does top out at around 30 mph, but for an off road bike this is fast enough. Plenty of low range to climb with. The Praxis cranks seem to be holding up very well with no signs of wear and tear yet. The bottom bracket has so far been trouble free, no creaks at all. The Stans Crest rims are very light, ideal for XC use. They come with tubeless tape installed, but you will need to remove the tubes and add the valves and sealant to go tubeless (which I did). The Racing Ralph tyres are very fast rolling for MTB tyres, I’ve had no issues with them at all. They aren’t the most grippy in the worst of deep wet mud, but this is a XC bike better suited to gravel, grass and such like. The frame is beautiful, looks very nice quality and feels very stiff. The bike is very light and is as quick and nimble as you’re going to get IMO. Again no issues with it in the time I’ve owned it. The only real negative with the bike is the own brand GT hubs. They aren’t bad, they are sealed cartridge with boost axles - but this is the cheapest area of what is otherwise a very highly spec’d bike. The free hub is lacking in contact points and is a little slow to engage. Most of the time it’s not noticable, but if outright performance is a priority on any kind of rooty terrain with clmbs for example, it could be a cause of frustration. It hasn’t bothered me too much, but if/when it wears out I’ll take the chance to upgrade the the rear hub and free hub. Overall it’s an excellent XC hardtail which could easily be used for racing or simply as a recreational fast off road bike."
