I picked up a blue one for a steal. I put on a 120mm air fork, 35mm stem, and converted to a 1x with spare and cheap amazon parts. The 120mm fork really improves the overall geometry. Now its a blast to ride on greens and even blues. Really makes me rethink my Commencal Meta HT. My next bike will be somewhere between the 2.

I bought a GT Aggressor for around $450 several years ago from L.L. Bean. That's a high price but it was with "Bean Bucks" which is a reward program attached to a credit card, so free to me. The forks on it actually travel 100mm from weightless to total bottom out (as measured by how much piston was cleaned from dirty when pushing down hard). Those forks are kinda jittery meaning grab/release, not smooth. The shifts are decent but often hunt and you have to correct a bit. The derailleur, even when adjusted by a pro bike shop will still sometimes put a chain beyond the easiest gear, which is total momentum kill when climbing, and that kills momentum for everyone behind you too. Seat stem will change angle no matter how tight you tighten it: Rear sinks front lifts because the teeth to hold the angle are a joke. This happens despite me being a light rider at 150 pounds and I'm usually off the seat for any type of stress/shock. The frame is perfectly fine. Location of controls is good. Tires are ok, but not at all good for real mountain biking. Pedals have held up very well despite being plastic. Chain tension is too loose making it fall off the front sprocket when going over bumps/rocks. Gear ratios include a very wide range for speed on flats or power for uphill climbing, so long as you're careful that you don't shift in a way that the chain goes off the easiest rear sprocket. So, this is not at all a mountain bike; not even close. BUT, it would be an excellent rail trail bike or on/off road hybrid for mild/light duty. If you want to go fast on a gravel rail trail, this bike is great, if not perfect. If you want to get to your buddies' houses by road and relatively smooth off road paths, this bike is well suited for that. Green mountain trails, nope, too many chain drops and the suspension is inadequate. If you want to do blue, black, or double black mountain trails, this bike shouldn't be considered at all for safety reasons.

I bought my 2020 GT Aggressor Pro secondhand about 2 years ago. It's been a solid bike for me so I didn't really upgrade anything until last summer. The front and rear derailleurs started acting weird so going AdventX 1X10 with a 30T chainring was the first major upgrade. Found cheap Specialized 2.6" tires over the holidays so will switch to those soon. There's a fork upgrade program that you can find online if you're wanting an air fork. Stock coil suspension fork only had 80 mm travel so would've been nice to switch cheap. Have fun at the trails!

There's no way that these bikes were ever $800 to start with, they use this tactic to make you believe they're half price! The reduced price is closer to what these backs are worth. Sure enough if you enjoy riding them that's great, just don't be fooled by these tactics, I have been in retail long enough to know I hate it when stores do such things.
