For This Bike
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.
Very agile and quick to change direction
Doesn't waste any energy
Super precise and direct
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

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.

Following the footsteps of the GT Force 27.5 (look for our long term review soon), the new Force 29 is all in on the recent trend of long travel 29″ bikes, sporting 170mm up front, and 150mm in the rear. Throughout all three of its available models, the bike features a full alloy frame. Our test bike, the top spec’d ‘Pro’ model comes in at a reasonable price point of $4,700.

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.
The new LTS suspension is very capable.
Too many holes in the specification.

The new 2019 Force and Sensor LTS models use refreshingly standard, in-the-box Horst-link rear suspension designs.

As with the Force, the Sensor is not the most naturally pedal-efficient platform in terms of anti-squat, but it feels like there’s a decent amount of low-speed compression damping in the shock; it doesn’t bob much but feels firm over small bumps.. .

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 …
Simple, solid, fuss-free.
Force feels short in the reach, choose a larger size for racing.
