    Summary

    Expirience with the GT Force Carbon Elite

    GT Force Carbon Elite Review Under the leadership of Wyn Masters and Martin Maes, the Force Carbon Elite has already achieved a number of successes in the EWS. So it passed it´s baptism of fire. With a flat 63,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty GT sets the bar high!
