GT Sensor Carbon Expert review

Tom MarvinJun 2020

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

Pros
  • Neat frame features show attention to detail

  • Happy on climbs, despite some burly kit

  • Calm feeling on big hits and deep compressions

Cons
  • Not the most inspiring ride

  • Mixed spec has some highs but some lows too

  • Rather rattly over rocks

GT Sensor Carbon Pro review - MBR

Alan MuldoonApr 2020

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.
