Meet the GT Dirt Coalition -- 39 elite mountain bike racers across the fruited plain who live to compete. They have racing in their blood and leave it all on the trail every time they ride.

So what does the GT Dirt Coalition train on? Ummmm, that would be GT. The speed demons ride GT’s iconic featherweight hardtail, the Zaskar Pro. Endurance peeps are on the Marathon Pro – a 4” full suspension bike featuring GT’s patented Independent Drivetrain system that maximizes pedaling efficiency. (That’s technogobbledygook for “really really fast.”)

The Dirt Coalition is about connecting with other riders, earning bragging rights and sharing stories over beers and burritos. All after races in which they’ve attempted to crush each other with every fiber of their being.
