Pantera Elite Complete Mountain Bike - 2017

GT's hardtail line gets a plus-sized addition with the 2017 Pantera Elite Complete Mountain Bike. Putting to rest the fable that your bikes have to gather dust through winter, the Pantera brings plush 27.5+ traction to your favorite trail system so you can ride through the cold and snow. When the weather improves, those pudgy tires will do just as well to roll over anything and offer a plush, grippy ride over dry, sun-soaked singletrack.

The Pantera wrangles its plus-sized capability in a package that's renowned for its suspension-free simplicity and featuring just enough front travel to soften the bumps. Comprised of lightweight alloy, the frame's durability will see you through the years, while its moderate geometry lends a versatility to handle the ups and downs of the day's route. This Pantera is built up with SRAM's one-by NX drivetrain, offering precise gear shifts without the worry or weight of a front derailleur with hydraulic brakes putting the confidence back in stopping power. Capped off with Schwalbe Rocket Ron Performance 2.8-inch tires, the Pantera is set to hit the trail whenever you feel like kitting up and heading out the door.
