This newest iteration of their Force enduro platform utilizes a modified version of the legendary, tried-and-true LTS suspension and has a radically different-looking drivetrain modification that GT claims extracts more performance from the design than ever before.

The thoroughly redesigned new GT Force Carbon Pro LE is the brand's new 29er enduro race bike with a carbon front end and alloy rear.
Rides like a regular bike. Balanced riding position. No adaptation time required as the axle path isn’t so rearward as to feel too different. Good stiffness to flex response.
Tricky to set up suspension. Not the lightest. Needs a Double Down casing rear tyre. No mullet link for shorter riders.

It has to be said that this is one of the most eye catching GT’s we have seen in a very long time. The 2022 Force Carbon features an entirely new frame and cosmetically it’s a stunner for sure. Words // Blake Nielsen Photos // Matt Staggs What are the frame details like up close when you explore it in the flesh? GT have long been innovators with their frame and suspension designs, the new Force carbon is no exception. […]

A well-rounded enduro bike with a penchant for rowdy trails.
Well-mannered descender
A versatile high-pivot bike
Silent on the downhills
Robust design and feel
A big bike that can be your one bike
Idler noise on climbs
Questionable wheel spec at this price

The new GT Force needed an overhaul, and the direction designers took has resulted in the best-performing enduro bike GT has put out in years.
—The best riding Force in years…or ever?
—Geometry spot-on
—Versatile and comfortable
—Cockpit and dropper parts choices are a bit lacking, especially for the price tag
—Performance matches that of more premium competition, but the builds don’t
—Heavy

The "May the Force be with you" quote fits GT's new enduro bike like a glove, because to ride it fast, you'll need supernatural riding skills. Read the full review in our “Best Enduro bike of 2022” group test to find out what magic powers you need to tame the new GT Force on the trail and whether it will enchant you.
Plenty of freedom of movement
Adjustable chainstay length
Flimsy tire casing
Demanding handling
Poor rear suspension performance
Background noise, both up- and downhill

How we got on with 160mm high-pivot suspension of the GT Force Carbon Pro LE on tight enduro trails and fast downhill tracks of Scotland.

With a BMX background, Martin likes a higher rise 35 mm bar and short stem, but a 50 mm length leads to more weight on the front wheel and therefore more grip for his body positioning..
