2014 GT Helion Carbon Expert
2014 GT Helion Carbon Expert is a 27.5" cross-country mountain bike built around an FOC Ultra Carbon frame with 110mm travel and Shimano SLX/Deore XT drivetrain.
Description
The rebirth of XC. Before World Cups and when cross-country wasn’t about the recovery drinks and the nerdy gear, it was about the pure, simple joy of riding in the mountains. The 2015 Helion features progressive geometry to give you nimble, smile-jerking control, without losing efficient pedaling expected of a short travel bike.
