Izcelsme
The Grade launched in 2015 as GT's first dedicated gravel bike, applying the Triple Triangle concept to drop-bar adventure riding. The 3rd-generation (2023) carbon Grade is a significant rethink: slacker head angle, wider tire clearance, and Gravel Travel -- engineered carbon flex in the rear triangle that smooths rough surfaces without a suspension mechanism.

Verdikts
+Stiprās puses
- Gravel Travel (30mm rear flex) genuinely smooths rough surfaces without suspension complexity or weight penalty
