GT says

Outlast the batteries in your headlamp.

Riders who plan to spend long hours on the saddle don't need some ultra-light, super-stiff, high-performance ride.

And because it's a GT, reliability and durability go without saying. Which is a pleasant thought, if you've been carving single track for three plus hours...and find yourself some three hours from your car.
