GT iDrive 5.0 Review | Rebuilt, Upgraded, & Tested on Trails

Описание: Sorry for the delay for a riding update for this GT iDrive 5.0 frame with all new parts from a couple years ago or so. I didn't really ride it much until recently. Now, it's getting its but kicked regularly as I ride with my dog pack for three to four hours everyday while they are off-leash on real bike trails. I never realized how much I needed this bike until I swapped out my hardtail for it. I started using my hardtail because it's cheaper, cost less to build, and if it ever got stolen, it isn't that big of a loss. The hardtail is more of a beater bike but it was beating me up way too much so I swapped it for the bike I was holding back on, the GT iDrive 5.0 Rebuilt from 2022 or so. I hope you enjoy the video as I'm still learning about video production. Hopefully you can get a feel for what this bike is like on some rough trails. Thanks for watching, everyone! You all rule!
