Reintroduced in 2019, the GT Sensor gets a fresh suspension design, trail-worth geometry, & solid spec. We take it to the mountains to see if that's enough!

Reviving the legendary LTS suspension system

Like a hot rod, this bike loves going fast in a straight line. A few upgrades will go a long way
Thoroughly capable spec and great performance on tech terrain
Bottom bracket height and drop don’t fit with rest of geometry
Unsuitable tyres for UK riding

We've tested the top of the range GT Force, this time it’s the entry-level GT Sensor Alloy. Opposite ends of the price spectrum, they have a lot in common.
Best suspension in test.
The BB is too high, even in the low setting.

GT's redesigned Sensor pays homage to the famous LTS, but with big wheels and slacker numbers than DH bikes of the time.
Efficient pedaling action

Level brakes are underpowered

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
