This bike is equiped with 29" WTB Prowler tires and DT Swiss spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by WTB Speed Disc 29". GT equiped this exact model with Shimano LX Hydraulic Disc brakes, Shimano LX levers braking system and Shimano LX hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride GT used GT I-Drive 4 6061 Aluminum material for the frame. Easton EA50 riser high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Marathon 9R to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Easton EA50.
