Road Bike GMC Denali
GMC Denali Road is a nice facing bicycle and since road bikes are pretty expensive only sold in bike shops, most individuals will accept that the price should be more overmuch than it actually did. A bike admirer asked if I sacrifice “over $1,000″ on it. Super gear wheels, I gained 38.5mph on a downhill with some gear left, and managed 32.4mph on straight ground with a tailwind (measured using handlebar GPS receiver). I can cruise overall in the 16-20mph range, race for the first 60 minutes.I have zero troubles with shape quality. The welds look safe; the bicycle looks great, the seat tube fitted tight. I was amazed how easily the frame construction matches my 6′0″ size.
My first impression was that I found it awkward to have to reach down to use the brakes. I got used to that fast. My second impression was how effortless it was to go fast on this bike. The 63cm, black and silver Denali, rides really smooth. I will say that this bike is really fantastic for the price. I am so impressed with the quality for fewer than two hundred bucks.
I was very impressed when I saw in a bike shop used one for the price three times higher Than GMC road bike looking almost the same.The seller tried to convince me to get the used one but I decided to get new one GMC .It has nice design ,alominum frame,shimano derailleur and it behaves very well on the road.
The seat is comfortable for a road bike, and the Denali pedals easily, making long rides a breeze. The kickstand is a welcomed addition (and removable for those who balk at kickstands). If you want a true bargain, have some tools/experience and are willing to tinker, get the Denali. It’s a hoot to ride! The gear shifting appears to be fine overall to me, and conveniently placed on the handle bars. Because the bike is solid aluminum, it is fairly light and very durable.
The design of GMC seems to follow Ford Motor Company’s “built tough” motto. So that’s why the purchasers consider is that it is a bit heavier but stronger than different standard (bianchi, trek, giant) bikes. Unfortunately the price of some sort of composite: carbon and titanium frame bikes will cost you up $1500 new, at least)
Another aspect people will easily miss is that the forks, unlike the frame, is made of steel so they’re heavier than normal–but this is because while aluminum is lighter than steel, it is also stiffer which would make for a bone-jarring ride; the only real solution to this is to get 200-300$ all carbon.
All in all I am very pleased with the bicycle GMC Denali. You simply can’t get better price. The bike is light, has really stable gearing, and runs very fast. It moves better than it breaks. Replacements several key parts will make the bicycle fabulous. It is not ideal bike, but when you factor in the price, it is a super deal.
