GT SENSOR COMP
If you grew up riding mountain bikes in the late 1980s and 1990s, GT is a name that can’t help but evoke affection. It was one of the biggest names in mountain biking, producing some of the best early full-suspension bikes using the RTS and then the LTS system, before the untimely death of co-founder Richard Long in 1996.
However, changes in ownership in the years following Long’s death saw the brand fall into the doldrums: a place from which it’s been clawing its way back from over the last few years.
The mid-travel Sensor is one of two new platforms for the 2019 model year, alongside the longer-travel Force.
