GT FORCE X EXPERT 2014


GT’S VISUALLY STRIKING new Force X Expert rolls on 650b wheels and has a stiff yet light carbon frame with a tapered head tube and 12x142mm rear dropouts. It delivers 150mm (5.9in) of suspension travel via a simplified version of GT’s long-running Independent Drivetrain (I-Drive) design, with damping handled by a capable Fox Float X rear shock and 160mm (6.3in) travel Fox 34 Float fork.

The spec includes a KS Lev Integra dropper post, Race Face Evolve double crankset, Shimano SLX transmission, Formula RX brakes and 2.4in Continental Trail King tyres. Coupled with the Force X Expert’s long front triangle, short stem and rear stays, this should make for a bike that’ll rip and rail all day long.
