1993 GT RTS 1
A well thought out and brutally tested idea. RTS 1. Would you ride anything else?
Description
The 1993 GT RTS 1 is a full-suspension mountain bike built around a TIG pulse-welded 6061-T6 aluminium front triangle paired with a True Temper chromoly rear triangle, with both sections heat-treated and assembled in the USA. Suspension duties are handled by a USA-made Noleen adjustable coil-over unit at the rear and a RockShox New MAG21 fork up front.
The drivetrain runs a complete Shimano XTR groupset — 24-speed with Rapid-Fire Plus shifters, anatomically sized crank arms, and SG-X chainrings — while Mavic M-231 rims and Panaracer tires complete the rolling package. An ATB leather saddle with titanium rails reflects the premium specification throughout.
