GT Bicycles was established in 1972 in Santa Ana, California, and became well known for its BMX bikes shortly after that. GT was an innovator during the freestyle BMX movement of the 1980s by signing freestyle greats Bob Morales and Eddie Fiola to ride its Pro Performer model; its unique bent-down tube became an instantly recognizable design feature that became part of its signature model design.
GT Bicycles first entered professional racing sponsorship during this period. For instance, one such team was the Jelly Belly cycling team, which at one point used Easton aluminum GT frames before switching over to Focus bikes.
Today, GT Bicycles are owned by Pon Holdings, who also own Cannondale, Schwinn, IronHorse, and Mongoose bikes. In addition to BMX bikes, Pon Holdings provides road and mountain bikes from GT. Their bicycles are designed in California before being assembled overseas.
