GMC Denali Road is a nice looking bike and since road bikes are pretty much only sold in bike shops, most people will assume it cost a LOT more than it really did. A friend asked if I spent “over $1,000″ on it. Great gears, I hit 38.5mph on a downhill with some gear remaining, and managed 32.4mph on level ground with a tailwind (measured using handlebar mounted GPS receiver). I can cruise overall in the 16-20mph range for the first hour. I have no problems with build quality. The welds look good, the bike seems solid, the seat tube fit fine. I was surprised how well the frame fits my 6’0″ size.

My first feeling was that I got it problematic to have to reach down to use the brake system. I had used to that fast. My second impression was how elementary it was to go quick on this bike. The 63cm, black and silver Denali, rides actually quiet. I will tell that this bike is truly amazing for the price. I am indeed impressed with the quality for less than two hundred dollars.

I saw in a specialized bicycle store a bike appeared entirely exploited up that the seller wanted the price of three of the GMCs for. I realize I could have three new bikes, for the price of one bike that I wouldn’t believe to get me round the block. I bought the Denali.Combine that with the aluminium frame, shimano derailleur and it executes really well. GMC Denali Road bike drives fast and appears really solid.

The seat is sufficient for a route bicycle, and the Denali pedals easily, getting long rides a breeze. The kickstand is a welcomed addition (and removable for those who balk at kickstands). If you need a honest deal, get some tools/experience and are willing to tinker, get the Denali. It’s a hoot to ride! The gear mechanism shifting seems to be fine overall to me, and handily positioned on the handle bars. Because the bicycle is solid aluminum, it is fairly light and really long-lasting.

The design of GMC seems to follow Ford Motor Company’s “built tough” motto. So that’s why the purchasers consider is that it is a bit heavier but stronger than different standard (bianchi, trek, giant) bikes. Unfortunately the price of some sort of composite: carbon and titanium frame bikes will cost you up $1500 new, at least)

Different aspect individuals will easy overlook is that the forks, unlike the frame, is built of steel so they’re weightier than normal but this is because while aluminum is lighter than steel, it is too harder which would create for a bone jarring ride; the only real solution to this is to have 200-300$ completely carbon.

Overall I am very pleased with the bike GMC Denali. You just can’t beat the price. The bike is lightweight, has very good gearing, and can be very fast. It goes better than it stops. Replacing several key components will improve the bike significantly. It is not perfect, but when you factor in the price, it is a great deal.
