Nothing has changed with the "Zaskar" hardtail in terms of geometry with the "triple triangle design" (the frame consists of three triangles) and elements such as a tapered head tube or internally routed shift cables. The tried-and-tested design has been retained. On the other hand, the choice of colors for the layouts has been kept simple. With the exception of the top-of-the-range hardtail model "Zaskar Carbon Team" and the new top-of-the-range fully model "Zaskar Carbon 100 Team", the bright colors have been dropped. These two are also not available as 29er versions. GT only offers the large bikes from the "Pro" version upwards.

Fullys with proven ID
With the new full-suspension Zaskars, GT presents the successor to the "Marathon" line. Of course, the "ID" (Idependend Drivetrain) suspension system is also back. This is a bottom bracket housing that is decoupled from the main frame. This reduces the drive influences that are detrimental to propulsion and has less braking influence on the kinematics thanks to reduced chain elongation. Compared to the "Marathon", GT was able to save 500 grams of weight with the same stiffness.

Flat steering angle for 29ers
While the 26-inch Fully has a steering angle of 69.5 degrees, which is in line with the competition, GT has a rather slack angle of 69.5 degrees on the 29er Fully. This was also evident during the test rides. The Zaskar 29er fullys roll extremely smoothly over obstacles and are very stable in corners - also thanks to the thru-axles installed at both ends. These are missing on the 26-inch Zaskars.

Optical range maintenance
GT has revamped the rest of the range, particularly in terms of appearance and the component mix. Here, too, the bright colors have been omitted and the company continues to work with simple layouts. Technically, the frames have remained the same. However, GT is coming to Europe for the first time with the existing 29er bike "Sensor". This bike was new for the current model year, but was only available in the States.
