1997 GT LTS 5

1997 · LTS

Unlike some companies that downgrade their suspension concepts with their price points, our most affordable full suspension bike, the LTS-5, incorporates the same basic function as our top-of-the-line full suspension models. As with the LTS-4, the LTS-5 features a refined and improved elastomer system with easier adjustability and improved function. Simply put, the GT elastomer system is the most impressive on the market. Up front, the RST-381 MCU front fork features almost three inches of travel and low maintenance.
