The lines between freestyle, streetstyle, trail riding and ramps has become so blurry, not even today’s pros are sure what the perfect bike is made of. The 2008 GT Performer is our way of saying it doesn’t matter where you ride or how-only when and why. If you’re hardcore, the answers to those questions are “always”, and “because” it’s my life. Fortunately the Performer is tough enough to live up to the challenge.
