GT Sensor 1.0 XC Full Suspension
Product DescriptionA Lot of us shave our legs. A lot of us don't. Just because you've exchanged your spandex for baggies doesn't mean you don't want a bike that climbs like your hardtail; just because you don't armor up doesn't mean you don't like to decend like a madman. The ultimate trail-bike, the Sensor takes agility, responsiveness, and effciency of a cross-country race bike, and adds more travel and a slacker geometry for inspired descents and more predictable line choices. Are we claiming a little bit by calling it the ultimate trail bike? Maybe. But then again, Mick did win Sea Otter's Dual Slalom on it.

from Anderson, SC Date Reviewed: July 23, 2011 Strengths: Comfortable, quick handling, Light bike spec'd with high end components. Fox front & rear are amazing ( I'm a bigger guy @ 6"1 - 245) The bike is equiped with full Shimano XT ( except crank which is Truvativ Stylo )all are smooth & reliable. They aren't as light as XTR, but I believe that the main difference is basicly the weight of components. The I-Drive system is smooth all around the trail & climbs very well. I can't say enough about this bike it is a great value for the money. Weaknesses: The one & only concern I have is with the cable routing thru the rear triangle. It is a tight fit between the frame & seat tube. It has rubbed some of the powder coated paint off the frame & worn the cable housing a bit. I think some lizard skin film tape should resolve any issues. Other wise love this bike. Awesome ride. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Payne Creek, GA Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Nashbar Similar Products Used: Mongoose Zero 3G Pro, Cannondale RZ 140 3Z. Bike Setup: Mostly Stock. I took off the gear indicator windows on top of the XT shifing pods. They were causing a slight vibrating sound when I would get some speed going down a smooth hardpack or fire road. Anyways problem fixed. I also think it makes it look slightly better. I also put a carbon fiber chain protector I got from Nashbar, it looks really nice on the white frame. I plan on upgrading to Stan's No Tubes system.
