1994 GT Team RTS
There is No Competition.
To compete at the World Cup level takes perfection. Perfect training, mental preparation, and equipment. The 1994 Team RTS features the absolute finest materials, technology and components available. 6061-T6 heat treated aluminium front and rear triangles, Noleen Piggyback adjustable oil dampened coil over shock, RockShox Mag21 long travel SL/TI suspension fork, all made right here in the USA. Hammerin' up or blazing down, the advantage of the Team RTS is supposed by none.
Description
The 1994 GT Team RTS is a full-suspension mountain bike built around a handmade USA-produced 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminium frame, TIG pulse-welded at the front triangle and paired with a Noleen piggyback adjustable coil-over shock at the rear. Up front, a Rock Shox MAG21 SL/TI long-travel fork handles trail compliance, while a full Shimano XTR groupset — covering cranks, shifters, derailleurs, and cantilever brakes — places it firmly at the top of the component hierarchy for its era.
Mavic M-230 silver-anodised rims laced to 26-inch wheels and Panaracer Kevlar-bead tyres complete a build intended for serious off-road use. Five frame sizes accommodate a broad range of riders.
