Point the GT downhill and it starts to make sense

Highs
  • Great length and sizing

Lows
  • Too heavy and sluggish

GT Verb Elite review

May 2016 · Guy Kesteven

High-traction trail smoother, but super-heavy and with compromised fork and overall spec compared with the best in class. Buy if you're more fussed about having a big-name brand on your budget full-susser than you are about having the best performance

Highs
  • GT’s unique suspension system gives great traction

  • Rear shock works okay if set up right

  • Up-to-date long frame / short stem balance

Lows
  • Full-sus frame and cheap components make it very heavy

  • Cheap Kenda treads and numb brakes undermine control

  • Obvious braking and pedalling effect on the suspension
