    By combining flat handlebars and upright positioning with high performance materials and components, the GT Tachyon 2.0 bike promotes total comfort while retaining the speed of a serious road bike.

    • Carbon fork helps reduce weight and damp road vibrations
    • FSA triple crankset is matched with Shimano shifters and derailleurs for reliable, responsive performance as you shift through the 27 gear combinations
    • Tektro Mini-V brakes ensure controlled deceleration and speed management
    • Sturdy wheels are outfitted with smooth-rolling Kenda Kwest tires for all-around riding in cities and on bike paths
    • Specs on the GT Tachyon 2.0 bike are subject to change
    • Closeout

    All bicycles sold at REI include a free warranty tune-up. New bikes go through a normal break-in period, after which readjustment is important for longevity and performance. Bring your new bike in to your local REI for its free tune-up within 20 hours of use or 6 months from purchase, whichever comes first. Contact your nearest REI bike shop to schedule this important service.

    Imported.

      Comments about GT Tachyon 2.0 Bike - 2012 Closeout:

      I use this in place of my road bike, needed something a little more upright but still had performance. This is the bike you are looking for, it's light, fast responsive. Good for the short (8-10 mi)or longer (50-80 mi)rides. Shifts quickly and quietly, the only thing is when your on the lg fr the middle gears tend to rub on the fr derailer. trying to fine tune it, still not a biggie i dont really use the middle gears alot. tend to stay on the big 50t fr gear and 24-27on the rear. All in all i really enjoy this bike. I might retire my road bike.

      Service and delivery comments:

      Ordered online. REI is great, came in to the shop 3 days early, the shop had it built that same day. I picked it up the next day. REI always friendly and courteous. They did one last inspection before they released the bike to me. Very professional and knowledgeable. Its what we have come to expect from REI, and they deliver every time.
