GT GRADE CARBON ELITE 700 2024

Grade Carbon Elite

Innovative trails call for an innovative ride. The Grade Carbon Elite is your gateway to off-road adventure — our entry-level carbon gravel bike, built to explore new routes with confidence and control.

Outfitted with a reliable Shimano GRX 400 drivetrain and brakes, and rolling on grippy WTB Vulpine 700x40c tires, it’s a fast, capable and comfortable machine ready for the long haul.

Key Features:

• Shimano GRX 400 2x10-speed drivetrain
• Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes
• WTB Vulpine TCS Light 700x40c tires

Gravel Travel Built In

The Grade’s Triple Triangle frame with floating stays delivers up to 30mm of natural compliance, without the need for rubber bumpers, pivots, or complex mechanics. This clever engineering is made possible by our Dual Fiber Dynamics (DFD) — a unique blend of low-modulus, solid-core, long-strand glass fibers shaped for optimal flex, then wrapped in carbon for added strength and seamless performance.

Integrated Frame Protection

From rugged singletrack to smooth pavement, the Grade handles it all. To protect your frame from the inevitable hits and bumps, we’ve added durable downtube protection against rock strikes and chainstay guards to prevent chain slap.

Ready for Suspension

If you’re after even more confidence on the roughest terrain, the Grade is compatible with suspension forks, giving you the option to go full adventure mode when the gravel gets wild.
