While climbing performance is improved, the rear end feels a touch wooden and it’s quite tall
Neat frame features show attention to detail
Happy on climbs, despite some burly kit
Calm feeling on big hits and deep compressions
Not the most inspiring ride
Mixed spec has some highs but some lows too
Rather rattly over rocks

Level brakes are underpowered
You'll need to factor in real tires into the MSRP

GT went to town when developing their new range of suspension bikes, they are nothing like their previous designs, some may say they look a lot like everything else, but that can’t necessarily be a bad thing, as the Sensor is a considerable improvement from previous years. We tested the Carbon Elite which sells for …
Solid Chassis.
Progressive geometry.
Singletrack weapon.
Beautiful carbon frame.
Component level sacrificed for the carbon frame.
Tyres not great on hard surfaces.
Level brakes lack power.

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