Overview of components
Fork material

Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Laguna model has 26″ aluminum wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. GT Laguna is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
