Origin
GT introduced women's-specific geometry variants of the Avalanche around 2010, recognising that proportional reach, saddle width, and bar width meaningfully improve fit and confidence for women riders. The Avalanche Women's shares the Triple Triangle frame design but is proportioned differently from the standard model.
