GoCycle GS - GoCycle performance and style for under $3,000

GoCycle has officially launched the GoCycle GS

GoCycle just launched the GS after a very successful Kickstarter campaign.  We have several GS bikes in stock and more arriving every week

 

The Gocycle GS has a lot of the same sophisticated features as the top of the line G3 but at a more economical price of $2,799.

 

The biggest difference between the flagship G3 and the new GS is the absence of the front daytime running light and the predictive, electronic shifting.  Other minor differences include a fixed height front handlebar stem on the GS versus the adjustable stem on the G3 and slightly less ergonomic handlebar grips on the GS.

 

The GS does benefit from two-tone color options but the G3 certainly wins my vote for elegance with fully internal cable routing vs the partially external routing on the GS.

 

All Gocycles are made from injection molded magnesium, a process that is much more environmentally friendly than using carbon fiber.

According to Richard Thorpe, founder of GoCycle, “Gocycle uses an environmentally-friendly process called Thixomolding® to create its high-tech, durable, ultra-lightweight magnesium frame and wheels. The Thixomolding® process does not produce any ozone depleting SF6 emissions, but will still give the rider the similar weight and structural benfits as carbon fibre.

Magnesium is widely available and much easier to re-cycle than other materials like carbonfibre. Both the monocoque chassis and the Pitstop-Wheel® are made using a special magnesium moulding process called Thixomolding®. This is a first for any two wheeler.”
