Introducing the Gusto GTR
The GTR is GUSTO's Aero all-round road and race platform, offering the perfect balance between performance, comfort, and handling. Like all Gusto frames - and regardless of price point, the chassis is manufactured from the company's I.L.C (Innegra Latex Composite) carbon, a patented material that blends US made Innegra - the lightest high-performance synthetic fibre - combined with latex material to deliver exceptional shock absorption. Paired with high-rigidity Japanese Torayca T1000 carbon fibre, Gusto frames benefit from significantly increased frame rigidity while maintaining exceptional vibration damping stability. The result is a frameset capable of incredible power transfer and outright speed, but with a sublime smoothness that belies the performance and which reduces the risk of injuries and discomfort from long-distance riding vibrations.
The latest iteration of Gusto's GTR features a more progressive geometry with higher stack and shorter reach than its predecessor. In combination with the layup, this provides riders with an aerodynamic position that reduces physical cycling stress whether climbing, cruising or full-gas, and at the same time helps maintain agility for sprints. The GTR design features a rearward centre of gravity which helps reduce handling fatigue, increase descent stability, prevent cornering understeer, and improve long-distance racing handling. In addition, the rear chain stay design is optimised for sprint rigidity and climbing traction to deliver maximum power regardless of parcours. Despite the Aerodynamic leanings, the GTR is also 150g lighter than the Cobra EVO it sits alongside.
The GTR is a world-class, UCI legal frameset backed by a lifetime warranty, but the quality doesn't end there. Each model features premium components and finishing kit and exceptional paintwork, all at a price point that defies expectations.
KEY FEATURES:
Wide fork design
The GTR's wide front fork perfectly combines speed, efficiency, and handling through optimized aerodynamics, structural rigidity, and disc brake integration.
The fully closed dropout design enhances rigidity and strength for superior handling. The closed-loop structure eliminates deformation risks from uneven force distribution while withstanding greater impact forces—a significant advantage in high-torque racing conditions. In addition, the precise front wheel alignment and anti-fallout design ensure maximum riding safety.
Generous clearance accommodates tyres up to 32mm, reducing rolling resistance from deformation, resulting in smoother wheel rotation. The increased contact patch enhances grip during cornering and braking while reducing fatigue from road vibrations for exceptional comfort and control. The GTR easily handles champagne-gravel roads, rough asphalt, and slippery surfaces - balancing road speed with off-road capability for the versatile rider.
Aerodynamic Excellence
All GTR models feature tubeless ready carbon wheels and a brand new one-piece integrated carbon cockpit (excpet the 105 Di2 models which employ the Attaque one-piece bar as found on the Cobra EVO). The UCI-certified Attaque Carbon Wheelset utilises a 50mm aerodynamic rim profile with a surface that accelerates the flow of surface turbulence to reduce drag. Bladed spokes and precision engineering further minimise drag and enhance airflow efficiency.
The new integrated handlebar features aerodynamic tubing and fully internal cable routing. Its geometry focuses on the core needs of high-efficiency riding. A 4° incline on the lower bar enhances control and stability at high speeds, while the natural wrist tilt angle reduces rider fatigue. The new design provides sufficient vertical drop to allow an aggressive, low-drag riding posture to optimise aerodynamic efficiency; while the shorter reach effectively reduces pressure on lower back, shoulders, and neck, making it more enjoyable for long-distance and endurance rides.
Internal cable routing combined with a streamlined integrated headset design enhance the GTR's aerodynamic performance, with a spacer system that improves both durability and weather resistance.
UDH Derailleur Hanger — Superior Stiffness and Protection
The GTR employs the UDH standard to ensure consistent alignment and precise shifting while maximizing stiffness.
Premium Specification, Priced to Impress
The Gusto GTR is UCI-approved for professional racing and manufactured to exacting standards. Its exceptional durability is backed by Gusto's Lifetime Frameset Warranty - a demonstration of the brand's confidence in their engineering excellence.
Contrary to most and despite that race-proven pedigree, the GTR delivers unparalleled value. From in-house carbon fibre manufacturing to final assembly in Slovenia - Gusto offers world-class performance without the premium price tag typically associated with bikes of this caliber.
Every model features a complete Shimano groupset, 50mm Attaque Carbon Wheels, one-piece carbon cockpit, a Prologo NAGO R4 saddle whose shape and form has been refined using MyOwn Pressure Map Testing, and is finished with ANP Aurora Nano Paint - a next-generation finish that enhances brightness by 40% while improving durability and resistance to scratches and staining. The GTR looks as spectacular as it performs and is available in 3 core colours and one limited edition: Core are Pearl White, Jet Black and Team Gold with Flux Orange as the limited colourawy at launch.
