May 23, 2018 · Starting at the lowest price bike, that we think can accurately be described as a mountain bike, there’s the £324.99 GT Palomar AL. It’s a pretty basic spec bike but one with sound geometry, 27.5in wheels and T6 treated alloy frame that will withstand some upgrading over time.

This GT Palomar uses smaller 27.5″ tires, perfect for newbies and people like me who are not very tall. I felt more control than ever on it, and they weren’t as bulky as the 29″ mountain bikes I’ve ridden before. On top of that, the 80mm cushioned fork handles the rough stuff very well. All in all, it’s a perfect starter mountain bike. This was my ...
As a mountain bike with a shock system, it has a mission that goes beyond city streets. I often go on weekend outings with friends in the surrounding mountains, which is a great time for me to work on my biking skills. To be honest, I’m not very good at controlling the bike. But the GT Palomar is stable, and the wide tires and extended handlebars a...
Frame Group
The bike’s frame is made of high-strength steel, and while it may be a bit heavy, it’s guaranteed to be durable. And the Seat Stay is attached to the bottom of the Top Tube through the center tube, with the signature triangular design providing extra strength to the frame. If you look closely enough, you’ll see that the center of the frame is equipped with two mounting holes for the water bottle cage, where you can also choose to mount a tool kit. The Seat Stay is also equipped with mounting...
Geometry
The frame has a solid geometry with the Seat Stay running through the mid tube directly to the Top Tube. And, the loose head tube angle (69.5°) makes the forward direction easy to maneuver and makes the whole body more stable. The relaxed seat tube angle (72.7°) also allows the rider to pedal more comfortably. For the most part, I don’t think I needed to get out of the saddle to do most of the uphill. The frame is also equipped with an extended rear lower fork, even almost half of the wheelba...
Microshift TS38 3×7 Drivetrain
The drivetrain uses the Prowheel Alloy 3-speed crankset, 42/34/24. Coupled with the 7-speed cassette 14-34 speed, it offers riders a choice of gear ratios up to 21 speeds. A gear ratio of up to 24:34 allows the rider to climb almost any hill with ease. Also, the 42:14 cassette can get good speed on flat roads with it. It can get the right commuting speed on flat roads, but it doesn’t seem to be very suitable for racing.
Tektro CSL-36A Rim Brake
For the brakes, a traditional rim brake system is used, which provides a nice reduction in overall weight. And it seems a bit excessive to use expensive disc brakes on this beginner bike. In my two-month-long ride, I think such brakes are also very reliable and do not rub the discs. But if you need it, the frame is equipped with disc brake mounting holes so you can always upgrade your brakes.
Kenda 27.5×2.10 Tires
The tires don’t look flashy in the numbers, but they played in testing. I think the main reason for this is that the 27.5-inch gearing is very popular with riders. Although this tire doesn’t have a very deep grooved surface like common mountain bikes, it takes into account the road commute. This tire size improves balance handling and agility by reducing rolling resistance. This size tire also has good passability, which is perfect for novice and young riders.
In this test, we put the GT Palomar to the test, a bike that can be shuttled around for mountain and road commuting at will. The sturdy and durable frame is perfect for novice riders. If you need a bike to replace your feet, or if you’re someone who wants to start getting in shape by riding, this bike is perfect for you. The GT Palomar Ladies has a...
Sturdy and stable frame.Shimano shifting system combines durability and performance.27.5-inch tires for youth and smaller riders.Easy-to-repair accessories.First of all, I have to say that these two bikes have up to double the price difference. Secondly, regarding the components, the GT Palomar uses an uncommon steel frame. This makes the whole bike very durable to ride, and also makes it much more rigid when powering up. As for the Trek Marlin 6 Gen 2, it uses an aluminum fork with a Suntour XCT fork...
The two bikes can be seen in the comparison down to the same frame design using external alignment for both bikes. However, the GT Palomar is made of a steel frame, which is more durable. The Bianchi Duel-29s – Alivio uses an aluminum frame, which is lighter in comparison. In terms of components, the GT Palomar uses brakes in the form of rim brakes...
Unexpectedly, the Giant Talon 4 uses an uncommon 1×8 speed shifting system. Although 1× is a popular gearing, the 8-speed cassette is not enough for the 1-speed crankset. In my experience, the 30T crankset only seemed to be able to handle uphill sections, and it was difficult to ride it fast on flat roads. The GT Palomar’s 3×7 speed gears can provi...
I have to say that the first thing that struck me about the Scott Aspect 970 after I got on it was that it was like a tank, very thick and heavy at 15kg. As far as components are concerned, the Scott Aspect 970 features a higher travel cushioned fork and larger tires. The bike is perfect for off-roading in the mountains, and the chunky build allows...
