GT says

Two years ago, Andrew Cho and TMC challenged us to make a free-ride rig that could be pedaled with the ease of an aggressive trail bike. They ask; we deliver. The most versatile gravity bike we make, the Distortion takes jumpable geometry, adds just enough travel to soften the blow, and puts it in a sleek, lightweight, easy to ride package. Some team riders call it a short travel Free-ride bike; others an East Coast free-ride bike. What it's called is irrelevant. The fact that it's just as comfortable at Crankworx as it is at Diablo, & bombing jumps as it is to ripping lines - is.

This innovative idea was claimed to reduce the amount of vibration transferred to the seat fr
