GT Becomes Official Bike Supplier
Whistler Bike Park Gets Fresh Whips
While it's been rumoured for a while that the Whistler Bike Park was changing bike suppliers, it's just been announced that GT Bicycles will be providing the rental fleet for 2017 and beyond. Catch all the details from Whistler Blackcomb after the break.
The Whistler Mountain Bike Park is proud to announce three new partnerships for the 2017 season. GT Bicycles has come aboard as the official supplier of frames for all bikes including rental, retail and programs. Spank Industries is now the official bar, stem, and pedal supplier. And just recently, E*thirteen is on as the Official Chainguide Supplier.
"The opportunity to join forces with GT, a brand that has such deep roots in the mountain bike community, is an honour and we are thrilled to see where the relationship takes us in the future", said Rob McSkimming, VP of Business Development at Whistler Blackcomb. "GT's reputation as a race and freeride-driven organization will bring new energy to the Bike Park allowing our guests to hit the trails on the best bikes possible. We are stoked to roll out this season's line up which consists of the Fury as the DH sled and the Sanction as the All-Mountain/Enduro option".
To celebrate the new partnership, GT will be giving away a trip for two to opening weekend of the Bike Park where GT will also be on site. Be sure to stay tuned to @gtbicycles and stop by their booth at Sea Otter to see the custom built bikes!
While winter is still very much underway on the West Coast of Canada, our dreams are no less filled with the sound of tires ripping through dirt and air whizzing through our helmets. Start prepping, tuning and polishing; the Bike Park opens May 19.
