GT Bikes was founded on a simple idea: to help riders push the boundaries of what’s possible on two wheels by designing the most dependable, creative frames in the industry. It was a vision that was quickly realized in the BMX community, with an instant cult following on the race circuit.

GT Bikes became identified with toughness and winning, claiming more BMX race victories and prestige than any other bike brand of the time. GT bike bike success was not limited to the track, as riders such as Bob Morales, Dave Voelker, Josh White, Eddie Fiola, Martin Aparijo, and Dino Deluca developed and perfected techniques that advanced the sport on the ground and in the air. As freestyle grew, so did the motorcycles, including the legendary Pro Performer.

As BMX freestyle rose to widespread appeal, GT Bikes expanded into the emerging sport of mountain biking. Hans Rey, Juli Furtado, Nicolas Vouilloz, Rishi Grewal, and Gerhard Zadrobilek verified GT’s strategy by winning many world cups and national championships on bikes with the famous Triple Triangle®. This unconventional frame design became a signature for GT and was regarded as the industry’s most sophisticated frame design. GT Bike Bike
