Product Description

The GMC Yukon XL is a lightweight road racing style bicycle featuring a 6061 Aluminum frame and aero fork. Alloy frames are not only lighter, but are torsionally stiffer and transfer pedaling energy more efficiently to the rear wheel. The Shimano STI Shifters with their integrated brake levers give you excellent control of shifting and braking. This puts gear changing and braking conveniently in one central location. The Yukon XL also sports a light and strong alloy wheelset and Kenda tires for superior traction and excellent braking response. Small Frame bike ; 20" or 51.0cm, Top Tube 52.5cm, Chain Stay 40.4cm, with a standover height of 30" or 75.5cm. Medium Frame bike; 22" or 56.0cm, Top Tube 55.5cm, Chain Stay 40.4cm with a standover height of 32" or 81.0cm. Large Frame bike; 25" or 63.5cm, Top Tube 59.5cm, Chain Stay 40.8cm with a standover height of 34" or 87.0cm.

Customer Reviews

exceeded my expectations5
Received my 25 inch unit about 2 weeks ago. If your close to 6 feet, I suggest this size after reading some of the reviews. Glad I did. As advertised, all components were there and the bike was assembled perfectly. Not one bolt /screw was mis-torqued. It took about an hour to put the components together. Have rode it 30 miles and only needed a minor front dérailleur adjustment. I really like the bike. The fit/finish/attention to detail is spot on. I don't see how they can sell a bike of this quality for $324. Their customer service is great too!

good bike4
Me: 6'2",220 pds and 44 years old. I have several bikes and ride about 100-150 miles a week. I bought this bike because I did not want to abuse my nicer($1200 cannondale) road bike,part of my riding is in rough terrain and I also take my bike in the train etc.
The bad: the bike came with crooked rims and needed some adjustments. The average owner can take it to a bike shop and repair the minor items for +- $50.00. This bike is good for up to 20-22 mph constant speed.
The good: most riders( me included) are happy with the 20mph speeds on this bike. I love the looks , the shifters and the overall quality( I've ridden 500 miles so far). THIS IS A GOOD BUY FOR THE AVERAGE RIDER, however, understand that you are not buying a top of the line bicycle. But, this bike is a good buy for 95% of amateur riders. Enjoy!!

Super starter road bike5
This is a super value for a starter bike. I'm just getting back into riding after a 20 year lay off. I looked around and couldn't find a road bike at a LBS for under $600. I really wasn't sure if I wanted to spend that much. I found this bike on Amazon and was a little unsure about it until I rode it. This is a great bike for someone like me ( a novice in his 50's). It was easy to assemble and after riding it all doubts disappeared. The only suggestions I have is to get a bike computer, gloves,helmet and a more confortable seat.
