Summary
The GT Sensor trail bike is praised for its solid performance and value, offering a balanced suspension and quality components that inspire confidence on technical terrain. However, some reviews note issues with cockpit comfort and tire suitability, alongside a high bottom bracket affecting handling.
Big bang for the buck
Solidly spec’d bike with a good balance between price and kit
Incredibly balanced suspension
Quick, agile, stiff when you need it on descents
Delight to climb, ascending like an angel up rough trail
Cockpit felt cramped after sustained time in the saddle
High BB affects cornering
Unsuitable tyres for certain terrains
Pivot bolt in the 4-bar suspension loosened up after a few rides

Reintroduced in 2019, the GT Sensor gets a fresh suspension design, trail-worth geometry, & solid spec. We take it to the mountains to see if that's enough!

Like a hot rod, this bike loves going fast in a straight line. A few upgrades will go a long way
Thoroughly capable spec and great performance on tech terrain
Bottom bracket height and drop don’t fit with rest of geometry
Unsuitable tyres for UK riding

A review of the 2019 GT Sensor Expert, a 130mm 29er. Specced with components from Sram and Rockshox, as well as a full carbon front triangle.

Best suspension in test.
The BB is too high, even in the low setting.

The new 2019 Force and Sensor LTS models use refreshingly standard, in-the-box Horst-link rear suspension designs.

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. It had already been discovered some time ago, during a stage of the EWS in Chilea. After a few months, we were invited to Trysil, Norway to discover all the secrets of the new Sensor and the new Force, with the new, LTS (Linkage Tuned Suspension) suspension layout. The new LTS The new Sensors and Force represent an important turning point for the American brand that completely abandons their most recent interpretations, namely the AOS (Angle Optimized Geometry) and the I-Drive, which they have
