GT has made a really capable bike with the Force 29 Expert at a very competitive price. An ideal first enduro bike.

It’s not about being as comfortable as possible, it’s about being fast.
Enduro Mountainbike Magazine logoEnduro Mountainbike Magazine
If you are someone that doesn’t mind putting in a little extra effort when it comes to climbing for a bike that will obliterate almost anything you throw in front of it, then the force may be for you.
Loam Wolf logoLoam Wolf
This bike doesn’t hook up or chip away at your momentum even on the roughest trails so straight line speed is impressive.

GT Force Carbon Pro Martin Maes Edition on test – mullet setup for fast cornering

oct 2020 · Christoph Bayer

Martin Maes is undoubtedly one of the fastest riders on the pro circuit and is causing a stir in both the enduro and downhill scene. He was one of the first riders to use a mullet setup. We were really excited to see how a replica of his modified GT Force Carbon Pro would fare on the trail.

Highs
  • Very agile and quick to change direction

  • Doesn't waste any energy

  • Super precise and direct

Lows
  • Brake rotors too small for (heavy) riders who are on the brakes more

  • Not a lot of reserves for big hits – you'll have to absorb those with your body

  • Top tube height and long seat tube limit your mobility

GT Force 29 Expert review

feb 2020 · Luke Marshall

Race-built pedigree in a well-priced package with solid kit, but disappointing brakes let it down

Highs
  • Geometry and suspension kinematics are well thought out

  • Fox fork and shock give a balanced suspension feel

  • Good spec for the price

Lows
  • 125mm dropper is a little short for a medium frame

  • TRP brakes let down a very good bike

Review: GT Bicycles Force 29 Pro

dic 2019

The GT Bicycles Force 29 is a brutish, all mountain 29er built with gravity-fiends in mind. It has some great characteristics but also some traits that could make it a bit much for certain applications.

GT Force Carbon Pro review - MBR

ene 2019 · Alan Muldoon

While £4k represents the starting point for some carbon enduro bikes, with GT you get the top of the range model. That model is the GT Force Carbon Pro.

Highs
  • The new LTS suspension is very capable.

Lows
  • Too many holes in the specification.

2019 GT Force and Sensor - Bringing Back the LTS.

jul 2018

GT is a brand like no other, there’s good reason that a retro tragic like myself has more GT’s in the garage than any other brand. GT is over 40 years old and has pushed the development of mountain bikes so hard, and the result was some very whacky results and some very popular designs …

Highs
  • Simple, solid, fuss-free.

Lows
  • Force feels short in the reach, choose a larger size for racing.
