THIS IS From its inception in 1972, GT has been continuously pushing the two-wheeled boundaries. Since building their first bike in a garage in Southern California, GT’s mission has been consistently clear: the relentless pursuit to develop bikes that provide riders with the best products available. Over time, the materials, parts and the riders have evolved, but GT’s innovative spirit has always remained true. Whether it is a solo single-track mission, daily commute, or a daylong pedal fest with your crew, it’s always about personal expression and the fundamental trust between bike and rider. Each GT has decades of refined craftsmanship and proven technologies built into it. From the classic Triple Triangle™ frame design, to the patented Angle Optimized Suspension and Independent Drivetrain, GT has continually developed world-class products to suit all abilities. GT’s legacy has long been cemented by successes on the global stage. With some of the most decorated athletes having thrown their legs over GT bikes, including downhill world champions, Olympians, and Rampage and X-Game medalists, the brand continues to thrive, staying true to its core values. At GT, it’s not always about a win. It’s about consistently producing great products so you can get out, enjoy the ride, and share your adventures with your mates.

G T ’ S S TO RY 1972 BMX frames of the era just weren’t durable enough.

‘74–‘80 GT Bicycles were born with a simple vision: to help riders push the envelope of what’s possible on two whe creating the most reliable, innovative frames.

Brian Kachinsky gap to ice in Los Angeles.

‘81–‘86 GT bikes became synonymous with durability and winning, bringing home more BMX wins and clout than any other bike brand of the era.

‘87–‘94 Applying the same attitude toward the emerging sport of mountain biking, GT set out to design the best bikes in the world.

‘95–‘98 GT’s commitment to building progressionenabling bikes continued.

‘99–‘06 GT introduced their ultra-reliable and efficient i-Drive® suspension to rave reviews. GT continued to test innovations that included the world’s first downhill bike with a production gearbox design, the IT-1.

‘07–‘11 GT continued to adopt new technologies, introducing production 29’rs and a new proprietary carbon frame.

‘12–‘15 GT partnered with the Athertons, the fastest DH family in the world. Together they developed world class products, and the team earned over 50 World Cup podiums, 3 World Championships, and 3 World Cup overall titles.

2016 AND BEYOND Following the reinvigoration of the BMX roster, they also formed a new GT Factory Racing team, focused on success and good times, both on and off the bike. Collectively, they are hard at work scripting the next chapter in GT’s storied history.

THE MAN BEHIND THE TEAM WO RDS BY MARK MAURISSEN

GT has always held a special place in my heart. My first real mountain bike from the early 90’s was a Zaskar, like so many other people in my generation. I started working for GT in 1997 and am so proud to still be such a big part of the racing program. In my day-to-day, I make sure everyone on the team has what they need to be successful. All of my various duties keep things interesting: logistics, sponsor orders, pit setup, race registration, wrenching on occasion...it’s been a good challenge organizing all of this for a top crew like this Factory Team. I am so excited about everyone we have on board too. Everyone loves to race, travel, and, most of all, ride our bikes any and everywhere we can. I’m looking forward to many more years and many more wins!

RIDING TOGETHER FOR 30 YEARS WO RDS BY HANS “NO -WAY” REY

There is a fine line between what some call “All-Mountain” and what others would call Enduro, Freeride, or Trail riding. The common denominator is that you ride up a mountain and come down with varying degrees of emphasis on the gravity that brings you back down. The beauty in cycling is that every person can do it for their own reasons, whether that is for fitness, travel, competition, adrenaline, a connection to nature, to grow friendships, or to keep their sanity. Personally, I’m hooked on every style of riding: cross country, backcountry, trials, downhill, enduro, freeride, road, even e-bikes! Every time I ride, I lose myself in the moment, and that is what’s perfect about riding. It’s like a meditation and a workout all in one. This very idea is why GT is like family to me. I feel privileged to have been a part of the company for the last 30 years. It stands for so many different things, but it’s the sum of those things that makes it so special. GT’s bikes have been my trusted companion on adventures and in races, a loyal partner in both dangerous situations and casual Sunday rides, and an ally in training sessions and commutes. GT feels as much a part of me as my DNA and shapes my philosophy for life, on and off the bike.

I see all of those things in this company because, to me, GT is a company that’s been around the block, but hasn’t skipped a beat when it comes to progressing bike technology and culture. Since they started in 1972, they’ve not only invested in growing as a company, but in their athletes, their consumers, and the sport of cycling as a whole. From BMX, road, and XC to DH, Freeride, and Enduro, they’ve been there and done that, and continue to support and progress how we ride. When I’m on a trail riding downhill, I’m reaping the rewards of what got me to the top of that hill. Whether you’re standing at the top of a World Cup track or a high desert ridge, you didn’t get there the easy way, and you should enjoy every second of that descent. That’s something GT really seems to understand.

IT’S IN MY BLOOD WO RDS BY ANNEKE BEERTEN

I race because it’s in my blood… I have been racing since the age of 4, and I just love doing it! I’m so happy I am able to race professionally in mountain biking. I’m proud that I can call this my job, and that I get support and appreciation as a female athlete from all of my sponsors so I can continue to do what I love! Out of all the types of riding, I’ve found myself most drawn to Enduro over the years. To me, Enduro is a big challenge, and physically the hardest of the mountain biking disciplines I’ve ever done. Those aspects of Enduro are what I love: a challenge and pushing my body to the limit.

M Y G T FA M I LY WO RDS BY BRIAN KACHINSKY

When the GT guys get together on a trip, it always sparks fun and eventful times. Whether it’s at a gas station, a breakfast spot or a campus, I’ve had people ask about us. “Are you guys a band?” or “Are you guys a rugby team?” are just a couple humorous inquiries I’ve heard. I’ve also heard people say “you guys look like you’re having fun”. No we aren’t in a band, although it would be easier to fly a guitar on a plane. No, we don’t play rugby. Those scrapes and bruises are from concrete. Yes, we are having fun, in fact we are having the time of our lives. While I chuckle at the fact that they think we are something we aren’t, I love the fact that they can sense that we are a good group of friends. We love riding our bikes. We love exploring new territory. We love joking around with each other, whether it’s in the city streets or in the constantly entertaining team group chat. As the adventures continue I see what onlookers would consider a group of good friends, steadily evolving into a family. A family which is serious about fun and fun even when it’s time to handle business. This is GT.

TERRA FIRMA WO RDS BY BRIAN KACHINSKY

Dirt. As humans, we have created so many ways to get rid of it: brooms, dust pans, washing machines, vacuum cleaners. But the roots of BMX have grown in dirt, and that is what continues to elevate it to new levels. Teamwork, motivation, vision, and craftsmanship come together to turn this dirt and dust into a canvas that we get to use to create art out of this thing we love. And that canvas? It’s cut from a different cloth, just like BMX riders are. The cliche of “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” could not be more true in us. While millions of people travel to California every year seeking out sunshine and beaches, we come for the wasteland of dry waterways that make up some of the most unique terrain we get to ride. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that’s where we find it.

I race BMX because I love riding my bike! Honestly, I love everything about BMX racing, from watching the little 8-year-old rippers to racing with the pro classes. BMX is just something I was born to do! It’s the reason why working with the kids and running a BMX track is super important to me. BMX literally changed my life, and if I can give one kid that same opportunity, it’s all worth it! It sounds cliche, but it doesn’t matter if I can get a kid off the couch to hit some jumps or I’m helping train the next generation of riders, I’m passionate about every aspect. One of the best aspects of being the Tean Manager is getting to see the diverse talent we have on this killer team! We have Aiden Otter, a 9-yearold kid who is an absolute ripper; better than most adults! You can call out a line like it’s a video game, and he just goes. Renato Rezende hits the track and chooses these perfect lines and does things I couldn’t even try anymore. Then we’ve got these ladies, Felicia Stancil and Sophia Foresta, who are the now and the future of the sport. Not to mention that they’re all AWESOME people off the bikes too; I for sure feel lucky to be their TM and call them my teammates!
