Highs
  • Thoroughly capable spec and great performance on tech terrain

Lows
  • Bottom bracket height and drop don’t fit with rest of geometry

  • Unsuitable tyres for UK riding

GT Sensor AL Sport review - MBR

Feb 2019 · Alan Muldoon

We've tested the top of the range GT Force, this time it’s the entry-level GT Sensor Alloy. Opposite ends of the price spectrum, they have a lot in common.

Highs
  • Best suspension in test.

Lows
  • The BB is too high, even in the low setting.

Field Test: GT Sensor Carbon Expert

Dec 2018 · Richard Cunningham

GT's redesigned Sensor pays homage to the famous LTS, but with big wheels and slacker numbers than DH bikes of the time.

Highs
  • Efficient pedaling action

  • Light weight for this price point

Lows
  • Rear suspension isn't all that plush

  • Level brakes are underpowered

  • You'll need to factor in real tires into the MSRP

Jul 2018 · Daniel Naftali

Something was boiling in the air at GT for some time and it’s long been known that there is a new enduro model on the way from the American brand.
