GT Force 2.0 All Mountain Full Suspension
Product DescriptionThe Force is as rugged and burly as they come. Built with the same personality and capabilities of the Force Carbon, but in a more affordable package, this ride shreds every inch of mountain. 150 mm of travel, Independent Drivetrain suspension, and lightweight components makes the Force a true All-Mountain ride.

from fayetteville, ar, usa Date Reviewed: August 14, 2009 Strengths: Great at cornering. The suspension feels a little less than what it says but gives the bike an extremely smooth ride. The SLX crankset is amazing. Weaknesses: The 6 inches of suspension feels more like 5 in. and the shock seems to leak air every now and then. Some creeking noises when pedaling uphill but nothing too noticible. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: slaughterpen, bentonville.
