If there’s such a thing as the Swiss Army Knife of bicycles, the Speedvagen GTFO would definitely be it. It’s the venerable Army Jeep of World War II or the military Humvee of the modern era, but in a bike form. True to the vision of Speedvagen, the GTFO is designed solely to make the most out of life allowing you to escape the rigors of a 9-6 workday for a much-needed respite in the mountains or wherever it is you can find peace in your life.
Designed for all-day long gravel adventures, adrenaline-pumping weekend bike camping expeditions, and sub-24-hour overnight getaways, the Speedvagen GTFO gets you to the thick of the action in a manner that you want to. The key is what the rider wants, not how he should ride.
Drawing inspiration from Speedvagen’s Urban Racer platform, the GTFO was baptized featuring the same sleek racing geometry of its racing brothers; although, this time, a few tweaks were made to make sure it will take you to where no other bicycles would dare bring you. After all, the GTFO was not intended for racing, but rather for enjoying life to the fullest. And if you can escape to your Bat cave or even Avenger’s lair at a moment’s notice without having to first prep your bike, then the GTFO is it.
The Speedvagen GTFO is all about having fun, about solitude, and about being in the great outdoors where its humongous pair of wheels will conquer any terrain that you decide to steer its heavy-duty and ergonomically engineered handlebars to. The frame is made of a new generation of steel to give it remarkable strength that you’ve never seen before, yet surprisingly light that you can actually carry the GTFO on your shoulders.
There are no drive gears to think about on the GTFO. There’s no fumbling for a switch just so you can maintain the level of speed that you require. It’s a single-speed 2-wheeled demon, yet with the elegance of an angel.
The Speedvagen GTFO clearly redefines the way you enjoy weekend escapades or after-office adventures on two wheels.
