The world of All Mountain riding is not about playing it safe and compromising. It’s about pushing yourself and burying your fear in the dirt and the 2011 GT Force Carbon Sport is the bike for that job. Have you ever seen the perfect path on the trail and were without the machine to take you there? Maybe the drop-offs were a little too big or the banked corners were a little too steep? That is no longer a problem. With all the wonderful components working in unison the GT Force Carbon Sport is giving you license to get after it on the trail. You work too hard to not be able to play just as hard.

GT’s Force Optimized Construction Carbon Fiber frame offers superior stiffness and durability while shedding the unnecessary weight found in aluminum frames. Combining this shallow footprint with the GT Independent Drivetrain suspension, riders are guaranteed a firm, smooth and efficient ride. According to GT, this Independent Drivetrain “isolates the movement of the bottom bracket from the front and rear triangles of the bike, keeping the distance from the seat to the bottom bracket constant”, thereby minimizing “pedal feedback”, or “a loss of pedaling efficiency caused by rear suspension compression.”

The Force Carbon Sport features a Fox Racing Shox Float RL Rear Shock complimented by a Rockshox Sektor Turn Key Solo Air front fork with 150mm of travel that can take some serious hits. The rear shock blends seamlessly with the Independent Drivetrain to give you a solid, elite-level and smooth ride on all parts of the mountain. GT has rigged this mountain bike with a combination of lightweight parts to create the ultimate Frankenstein of a rig that can hang with the most dedicated XC race bikes. The Crankbrothers Cobalt 2 Riser 700mm bars and SYNCROS AM, 3-D Forge stem are ready to respond from your commanding perch upon the X-FUSION Hilo seatpost and WTB Silverado Race SL saddle. Add in some precision SRAM shifters, front and rear derailleurs, and crankset with powerful Formula RX brakes and levers to give you confidence all over the mountain. Moving all this amazing technology is DT Swiss wheels with Maxxis Advantage front and rear tires. With this arsenal of technology, you are free to fly!
