GT Ruckus DX

The GT Ruckus has been designed to really take some hardcore action whether its dirt jumping or riding over rough terrain. This is the bike for those who really go hard. To withstand all the pressure, the Ruckus DX comes with a meaty GT 6061 aluminum frame that is equipped with dirt jump geometry.

The Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 2 100mm travel fork is suitable for most terrain when you want to go downhill. The fork also has coil springs with air preload and an adjustable hydraulic damping. This means you can adjust your travel for uphill sections and for downhill sections. For a bike like this, you also need reliable brakes and this one comes with the Hayes Stroker.

Some riders find that the pedals on the GT Ruckus are not of the best quality, but those can be replaced. This is an all-around bike that really gives confidence and offers durability. You get great wheels with burly Sun rims which offer a smooth ride.

If you are a serious rider, this is one hefty bike that will suit your needs. The look of the GT Ruckus just speaks for what it is. It looks aggressive and beefy and offers a fun ride. With this bike, all you have to do is point and you will be on your way. The GT Ruckus DX might on the larger end of the spectrum, but it still offers a smooth ride. It has superb geometry, it is sleek and fast.
