This is a 4-bar suspension scheme, obviously interpreted personally by GT. To those who comment “yes, but it’s the same as …” Let’s say right away that aesthetics is one thing, but from a technical point of view two bicycles, even if they have ballpark suspension patterns of the same type, can have very different behaviors, so every bike must be analyzed independently based on its characteristics,Īt the compression curve level, the new LTS has a more progressive curve and a high initial sensitivity on small impacts. It is compatible with both modern coil spring and air shock absorbers. The acronym LTS stands for Linkage Tuned Suspension and identifies the new suspension scheme that GT will use on the Sensor and the Force, but not solely those bikes (in the future we will see further changes on other models).

There were those who liked it (personally, I found it very fun to ride, but it has a problem: it is very much affected by braking input. As long as you let the bike go a bit, the rear end eats everything, but when the braking got heavy, the suspension no longer worked as it should. The more brakes, the more it breaks down, thus requiring you to brake even more. A vicious cycle. In reality, the secret to remedy this situation is to let off the rear brake to make the bike more stable, but this requires a certain malice that the average rider hardly finds in times of difficulty.

Executed in a rather daring way, a floating bottom bracket allowed a very high main pivot, first with the I-Drive then with the AOS, this general layout has been the workhorse of GT. Now it is no longer. The change is quite drastic, because the I-Drive has been the hallmark of GT for many, many years. Bike will come with the original platform pedals installed.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 finally forgone for a 4-bar style suspension scheme *The clip-in style pedals pictured are not included.

The bike is a solid daily rider as is, and had a full 'Pro Tune' 1 year ago.

It has good components and a great drive-train. This bike has been great to me and it handles the most intense trails in the area no problems- and it looks great! I am 6'0 tall and this bike should fit anyone 5'10 - 6'2, I would guess.
