GT Sensor Carbon Expert review

Jun 2020 · Tom Marvin

While climbing performance is improved, the rear end feels a touch wooden and it’s quite tall

Highs
  • Neat frame features show attention to detail

  • Happy on climbs, despite some burly kit

  • Calm feeling on big hits and deep compressions

Lows
  • Not the most inspiring ride

  • Mixed spec has some highs but some lows too

  • Rather rattly over rocks

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

Flow Mountain Bike
Tested: GT Sensor Carbon Elite

Dec 2018

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 …

  • Singletrack weapon.

  • Level brakes lack power.
