GT FORCE 29 CARBON PRO LE
Developed for big hitters and gravity hogs, the Force Pro LE owns every line on the mountain.
We redesigned our long travel Enduro bike to rip with more control. Updated geometry for race pace handling and confident climbing is combined with our Idler-enhanced LTS system, transforming the toughest trails from sketchy to silky.
Packaged with a SRAM X01 Eagle drivetrain and RockShox suspension, we spared no effort to ensure our premium carbon build is always geared up for massive days and mega victories.
Both the fork and shock are easy to set up and can be adjusted to your preferences and riding style intuitively.
Nevertheless, we recommend using a digital shock pump to set up the fork, because with the ZEB’s large negative air chamber, even a few psi will massively affect the behaviour of the fork. SRAM CODE RSC four-piston brakes with a massive 220 mm rotor at the front and 200 mm disc at the rear provide powerful and reliable deceleration and also proved the most powerful brakes in the entire test field. For the drivetrain, GT combine a SRAM X01 rear derailleur with a cheaper GX shifter with matching cassette and chain.
While the fancy rear derailleur might look great on the shop floor, it only weighs marginally less than its cheaper GX counterpart and doesn’t bring any real performance benefits to the trail. The Force PRO LE tips the scales at a whopping 15.8 kg, which makes it one of the heaviest bikes in test together with the Canyon Torque.
GT’s in-house 800 mm, 30 mm rise bars sport a rather extreme back- and upsweep and take some getting used to. The TransX JD dropper post comes with an impressive 200 mm travel and can be inserted all the way into the frame. Additionally, the maximum extension of the dropper can be reduced by up to 30 mm – awesome!
