Expirience with the GT Sensor ST Carbon Elite

Ludwig Döhl In the ST version, the Sensor ST Carbon Elite has only 140 mm and focuses on the essential characteristics of a mountain bike without trendy frills like headset cable routing or a storage compartment in the downtube. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the GT Sensor ST Carbon Elite, the 65,4 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. The seating position of the in alpine terrain moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. A good argument for the Sensor ST Carbon Elite: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
