The Schwinn GTX 2.0 is a real power house with its 21 speeds with a Shimano derailleur, versatile tires and a front suspension fork to help soak up the bumps, it allows you to take the bike anywhere.

The disk brakes for complete stopping power in even the dustiest conditions. Plus like all the Schwinn bikes the GTX 2.0 comes with a limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the bike. 

The Schwinn GTX 2.0 700c Men’s Dual 18 Sport Bike is designed with a sleek aluminum frame that firmly holds the parts of the bike in position. The frame links up the steel handlebars to the saddle rod at a horizontal angle which in result maintains the strength of the bike.

In addition to that, the frame has a steel rear that clasps the rear wheel and the suspension forks into position making it possible for the bike to sustain great weight limits.

Another fantastic feature that comes with the Schwinn GTX 2.0 is the twin suspension feature. The steel suspension forks on the front and rear wheels  really soak up the shock you get while riding.

Also the suspension forks greatly reduce the effect the bumps could have on your body particularly the arms and the upper body.

The Schwinn GTX is one of the few bikes that come fitted with the 24 speed gear shifters. The shifters are designed by Shimano, an authority in the manufacture of the gear shifts.
