The new (I think new?) [GT Zaskar FS](https://gtbicycles.com/products/zaskar-fs-comp?variant=45863544291625) is a crazy good deal for a trail bike that has all the things:
1. Dropper post
2. Air fork
3. Hydraulic disk brakes
4. Tubeless ready wheels and tires.
Seems like a great bike for NICA kids and adults looking for their first FS to explore the sport.

I do really think that the “buy a hardtail” advice is no longer good.
That rear shock mount 🫣
ohhhh, I have no idea how quality the bike is, but its ready for SRAM transmission!
i mean.. it’s 1850… not especially cheap and GT is still a shit tier brand imho. They are always late to the party and often sell absurdly outdated products. (gt aggressor im looking at you)
Polygon spanks this deal.

rockshox front and rear, more travel, better groupset (deore vs entry level cues), and cheaper..
Everything on this bike is trash.You can buy a YT jeffsy for a couple hundred more.
