1996 GT Avalanche LE
GT introduces a killer new racing machine for 1996: the Avalanche LE. The frame is inspired by Zaskar design technology with features like the new dual oval downtube, new seatstay bridge, and a new rear dropout. With a great start like that, we had to use the hottest new components! This new model has the stuff racers dream of like Shimano 24-speed Deore XT drivetrain, WTB Velociraptor tires, Rock Shox Judy XC front fork, and the redesigned Tioga Clipman pedal.
