The GT Bicycles Force 29 is a brutish, all mountain 29er built with gravity-fiends in mind. It has some great characteristics but also some traits that could make it a bit much for certain applications.

GT dips its toe in the crowded pool of long-travel 29ers, aiming to make a splash with this progressive, aluminum, high-value, big-wheel version of the Force ... Cannonball!

While £4k represents the starting point for some carbon enduro bikes, with GT you get the top of the range model. That model is the GT Force Carbon Pro.
The new LTS suspension is very capable.
Too many holes in the specification.

Simple, solid, fuss-free.
Force feels short in the reach, choose a larger size for racing.
