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

GT Sensor Carbon Pro review - MBR

Apr 2020 · Alan Muldoon

The GT Sensor Carbon Pro is the top-end bike in 130mm-travel 29er Sensor range. And it bears more than a passing resemblance to the 150mm Force.

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

[First Ride] The GT Sensor with New LTS Suspension

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. 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
