Kick your commutes and city riding up a notch with the GT Tachyon 3.0 bike, featuring a comfortable flat handlebar setup, speedy gearing and an agile ride.

  • 7000-series aluminum frame features hydroformed top and down tubes for superb strength and nimble handling; flat handlebar puts you in a comfortable, upright riding position
  • FSA triple crankset is matched with Shimano shifters and derailleurs for reliable, responsive performance across the 24 gear combinations
  • Tektro linear-pull brakes ensure controlled deceleration and speed management
  • 32-hole, double-walled Alex rims stand up to tough city streets; Kenda Kiniption tires supply multisurface traction
  • Height-adjustable NVO stem provides simplified fine-tuning of fit for increased comfort
  • Eyelets for fenders and a rear rack (sold separately) for easy, useful upgrading
  • Specs are subject to change

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Imported.

Comments about GT Tachyon 3.0 Bike - 2010:

I use this bike for commuting and weekend cycling. My average daily use is ~12 miles.This bike handles good. I tried Trek 7.3, Fuji Hybrid, novora express before buying this bike. Gears are responsive, bike is fast, handle turns nicely.But the down about this is its breaks and the sensation of feeling the road.But for [$] its a good bike(got 15% off on it)

  • Gift:
  • No

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
