GT Grade 2015 jeho špecifikácie a krátke zvezenie

Tesne pred prázdninami GT bicycles predstavili novú platformu v bicykloch s názvom Grade. Grade je bicykel na cesty aj do terénu a nie je to výlučne cesťák ani typický cyklocross, je to skrátka rybo-rak, ktorý vám hneď padne do ruky.

 

 

 

Tak ako sa pri horskej cyklistike vyvíjajú rôzne štýly a odvetvia, tak aj pri cestnej cyklistike vznikla potreba novej triedy pre jazdcov, ktorí holdujú ceste a pri svojich potulkách krajinou potrebujú vojsť svojou pneumatikou aj do terénu. GT Grade je presne ten typ bicykla, ktorý voľačo také umožňuje, ba priam k tomu vyzýva.

Mali sme možnosť krátkeho zvezenia sa v Novom meste na Morave, kde boli ideálne podmienky Grade otestovať. Kľukaté asfaltky, šotolinový povrch a spevnené traily. Bolo to síce len krátke zvezenie, ale môžem z neho konštatovať, že Grade je presne taký, ako hovoria propagačné materiály. Je dosť tuhý pri jazde po asfalte, zadná stavba pekne prepružuje pri nerovnostiach, a jeho geometria je postavená tak, aby bol maximálne obratný.

O variabilnom využití najviac vypovedá tento obrázok rôznymi pneumatikami:

V Novom meste na Morave vzniklo aj toto krátke video. Upozorňujem že ide o prototyp, teda osadenie ako bude v reáli sa nezhoduje:
