Road Bike GMC Denali
GMC Road bike should cost much more than it really did. Friend of mine couldn’t believe when I told him the price. The gears are great .On down hill I hit 35 mph and reached 30 mph on level ground. The quality of this bike is just great and looks very solid.I have zero problems with shape quality. The welds appear safe, the bicycle looks safe, the seat tube fit very well. I was surprised how good the frame 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 $1500 new, at least)
Another aspect individuals will easily omit is that the forks, unlike the frame, is made of steel so they’re heavier than regular but this is because while aluminum is lighter than steel, it is too stronger which would build for a bone jarring ride; the simply real result to this is to get 200-300$ entirely carbon.
Overall I am very pleased with the bike GMC Denali. You just can’t beat the price. The bike is lightweight, has very good gearing, and can be very fast. It goes better than it stops. Replacing several key components will improve the bike significantly. It is not perfect, but when you factor in the price, it is a great deal.
