Description
GT debuted the 2014 GT Fury DH bike in Fort William today. Going back to aluminum instead of continuing the carbon tradition, the frame has been redesigned from the ground up with suspension improvements and weight-saving construction throughout. The Athertons and Marc Beaumont have been working on this bike since they signed with GT well over a year ago and their hard work has finally paid off.
