GT Sensor 3.0 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.

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: August 4, 2012 Strengths: Everything, I find the independent drivetrain (I-drive) absolutely exhilarating, the front suspension and rear shocks perform outstanding, it's such a smooth and comfortable ride, I have come off this a few times due to no fault of the bike, but it still rides perfectly and looks and feels in great shape. Just a few minor scratches The brakes are awesome too... Top notch. I normally ride a hardtail which is slightly better at getting full power into climbs, but this is just as good, with the I-drive you can push into a climb without the bounce. Weaknesses: I really cannot find any. Bottom Line:

from Alpine, UT, USA Date Reviewed: February 5, 2012 Strengths: Solid on the climbs, descents, and everything in between. Great handling. Sick suspension design. The i-Drive is ingenious. Weaknesses: None so far. I wouldn't say I'm an extreme mtb connoisseur, but I've been riding for several years, and this bike will not disappoint.

from Petersburgh, NY Date Reviewed: June 9, 2011 Strengths: This is the only full suspension bike I have ever riden, so I can't really compare, but coming from a hardtail, I was afraid that I was going to be disappointed with the climbing and pedalling capabilities of this bike. I am amazed. I climb further and faster than I did with my hardtail. This bike is sick. Weaknesses: None so far.

from Israel Date Reviewed: September 23, 2010 Strengths: Competitive price for acceptable configuration. Described as entry level, but can do much more. climbs very well if the trail is not too technical, goes down very well. very pleasent bike. Weaknesses: Drivetrain has some noises from the chain, although cleaned regularly noises remain, front derailler is Ok but not more than that. The Dosc brakes are good but require maintanance and adjustments to remove noises every 2-3 rids.
