Expirience with the GT SENSOR SPORT

Ludwig Döhl The American brand GT has managed to maintain its cult status from the 90s, at least in part. With the SENSOR SPORT the Yanks want to put a simple All Mountain at a good price on the wheels and deliberately do without technical gimmicks. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the GT Fully, the 65,5 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. The seating position of the on demanding single tracks moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the All Mountain von GT doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build All Mountain in the same price range that are more focused on descends. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 2000 Euro, GT provides more than the competitors in the same price range. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
