THANKS KYLE!
Sir Lyle gives you a look into the machine that is going to take him places this season...places like Rampage! This carbon GT Fury Team is equipped with SRAM components, RockShox suspension, HT Pedals, Truvativ bars, stem, cranks and Avid brakes. There are even some prototype Sensus Meaty Paw grips on there!
