The GT Force Carbon Pro LE review - MBR

Apr 2022 · Alan Muldoon

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.

Highs
  • 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.

Lows
  • Tricky to set up suspension. Not the lightest. Needs a Double Down casing rear tyre. No mullet link for shorter riders.

Video: A Deep Dive on Martin Maes' GT Force

Sep 2021 · Matt Beer
