To guarantee the comfiest ride GT used 6061 Monocouqe material for the frame. GT equiped this exact model with Avid Single Digit 3 brakes, Avid AD3 Levers levers braking system and GT High Side Disc hubs. This bike is equiped with 26 x 2.10" WTB MotoRaptor DNA tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Syncros Lil' Snapper, 32-hole. GT Mountain bike iDrive 3.0 can be found in one single color which is Billet. IDrive 3.0 bike is available in many sizes such as Extra large, large, medium and small. GT produced the iDrive 3.0 bike in 2001 and can be classified as a Mountain bike bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $1,599.99. I can seriously say that Ive done alomst all types of riding there is in my area on this bike: XC, DH, FR, skate park, some decent drops and DJs. Even though there is only 3-4' of travel it does a really good job of soaking up the trail. Other Specs of GT iDrive 3.0 Component group sets Hello everyone, Im a bit new to the forums, but Ive been ebiking for about a year. The iDrive system works great, this bike climbs as well as any hardtail Ive ridden. The i drive to me is the best handling sus frame that I have used. I fell in love with i drive with my last bike which was an i drive 5 2.0 which I also upspeced and someone made me an offer that was too good to be true so I sold it. GT iDrive 3.0 Fork System Data Derailleur (Front) This bike was a 4.0 but I love it so much that I have upgraded all of the componentry, it is now simply awesome. It does actually work alright as such though, it's not like it's really disadvantaged in any way compared to a similar, standard singlepivot.Wheels And Breaking System Bike front tireįrame and Body Specifications Frame materials Doesn't do much to braking characteristics either.īasically it's fairly much equivalent to a singlepivot design with the pivot slightly lower than it is on each of the GT bikes. Rodney First Strike (new comer) All Mountain Rider Strength: Strong, agile, light, tough, great height, I drive creates most unique feeling of smoothness down roughest of downhills. It does provide some MINOR (and I stress minor) theoretical advantages due to the mass of the front triangle moving relative to the rider, but since we're looking at a ~30:1 ratio of masses (rider vs front triangle) it's not a big deal at all. ![]() Since pedalling efficiency is determined largely by the same factors (axle path relative to centre of mass), it has little effect on that too. GT i-drive 5.0 Frame Full Suspension Mountain Bike MTB Frame Set Disc brake XL GT i-Drive 5.0 Full suspension MTB frame Only Spec: year- don't know (brought it used.mid 2000 (2004/2005 size XL (56cm) Top tube measure at 56cm rear- Fox Air Vanallia R shocks ( air released. Which is cool but as its 2009 not all that surprising I suppose. Got an amazing deal on the price as it was a 06 model that never left the shop so I got it for 600. In reality it has the same compromises as everything else, because the axle path should be calculated relative to the centre of mass (mainly the rider, which moves backwards with the BB, relative to the front triangle) in order to determine bump absorption characteristics. I really liked this bike, in fact I have had my eye on the idrive ever since GT came up with it all those years ago but never owned one. Remove Bottom Bracket, if you dont have the tool you can use a needle nose pliers. Check for available parts, there are none. Decide you are to far in for half measures and decide to rebuild IDrive. What it does is theoretically allow for a relatively high pivot (good bump absorption and firmer pedalling) without having too much pedal feedback (what you feel as the pedals being tugged backwards when the suspension compresses due to the chain being pulled on). Check Bottom bracket, order one, get wrong one order correct one. So in other words, whereas with normal bikes the BB is fixed relative to the rest of the front triangle, it can move slightly with the suspension on an i-Drive. What the i-Drive setup does is put the bottom bracket on a link that is attached to the front triangle (check out any close-ups you can find of any of the recent model i-Drives, they work on the same principle as the old ones but it's easier to visualise what's going on), rather than directly mounting it on the front triangle. ![]()
