// GT Force 29 Expert 2020The Force AwakensLet me introduce you to the new 2020 GT Force 29. In 2019, GT redesigned their entire MTB range from the ground up to meet the needs and demands of their EWS Enduro race team. They started by looking into their past, the mid 90's to be exact, when they release the GT LTS. The LTS was a cutting-edge bike for its time, mainly because of its Horst-Link suspension design which offered incredible performance climbing and descending. GT decided to take the successful Horst-Link design and give it a modern face-lift. The result is the new line of GT mountain bikes. The 2020 GT Force 29 features 150mm of rear travel with 170mm up front. Combine this with the 64.6-degree head angle, 4-bar suspension design, and 440mm chain-stay length, the Force is an aggressive bike with excellent handling making it a weapon no matter where you ride it. GT wanted to make a fun and predictable bike that could be available on the affordable side of the spectrum. Many features of the bike were designed with the standard consumer in mind, such as the external cable routing in a recessed channel, keeping the cables protected and easy to service and replace. Not everyone has an EWS or World Cup race mechanic that works on their bike. The GT Force features Fox Performance suspension which provides a supple and smooth ride, the SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain provides all the gears you need to make it up the steepest climbs, and TRP G-Spec Trail brakes offer incredible stopping power when descending steep chutes. If you are looking for a bike that can handle everything you want to ride, the GT Force needs to be your next bike. From fast flowy single track to steep rocky chutes and everything in between, the Force was designed to handle it all. Push your riding further and attack the trail with more confidence than ever before.FeaturesAluminum Constructioncreates a stiff, light, and durable platformExternal cable routing in recessed channel makes service easy while still protecting cables170mm front and 150mm rear travel can attack the roughest and steepest trails64.6-degree headtube angle keeps the bike in an aggressive positionDropper seat post allows for seamless transition between climbing and descending1x drivetrain provides simple wide gear range ready to power you up the steepest climbsHydraulic disc brakes provide ample and consistent stopping powerSPECIFICATIONSFrameAll New Force Alloy 29" frame, 150mm travel, BSA 73mm, LockR Pivots, Tapered Head Tube, Boost 12x148 Thru-Axle, 185x55mm Trunnion Shock Mount, ISCG05ForkFox Float Performance 36, 170mm, GRIP Damper, 3Pos, Kabolt, 44mm offsetRear ShockFox Performance Float DPX2 185x55mm, 3Pos-Adj, Metric TrunnionHeadsetFSA NO.42, Semi Integrated, Sealed Bearing, TaperedShiftersSRAM NX Eagle, 1x12Rear DerailleurSRAM NX EagleCranksetSRAM Eagle, 30T, 170mm(S-L) 175mm(XL)Bottom BracketSRAMPedalsN/AChainSRAM SX Eagle, 12-speedCassetteSRAM XG-1275, GX Eagle, 10-50, 12-speedBrakesTRP G-Spec Trail, 4-Piston, 203/180mm RotorsWheelsetStan's NoTubes S1, 32h, tubeless readyAll Terra Alloy Disc 15x110 front, 12x148 rear, 6 BoltTiresMaxxis Minion DHF, 29 x 2.5", 3C Compound, EXO+, tubeless readyMaxxis Minion DHR II, 29 x 2.4", 3C Compound, EXO+, tubeless readyHandlebarSpank Oozy 780 Trail, 30mm rise, 780mm widthStemGT Alloy, 45mmGripGT Statement2 Double Lock-on GripsSeatpostGT Dropkick Dropper Post, 31.6, Internal Routing, 125mm (S, M), 150mm (L, XL)SeatclampGT AlloySaddleFabric Scoop Shallow SportIntended UseEnduro, All-mountainWeightN/ANote: Components are subject to change without notice.METRICINCHGT Force 29 (Low)SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length420440460480B: Effective Top Tube567954621647C: Stack615615615615D: Reach42044547049.5E: BB Height349349349349F: BB Drop27272727G: Head Tube Length102110118126H: Head Tube Angle64.5 deg64.6 deg64.6 deg64.6 degI: Seat Tube Angle76.5 deg76.6 deg76.6 deg76.6 degJ: Standover Height736756766766K: Chainstay Length442442442422L: Wheelbase1198122612541283GT Force 29 (High)SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length420440460480B: Effective Top Tube566593619646C: Stack611618625632D: Reach426451476501E: BB Height356356356356F: BB Drop20202020G: Head Tube Length102110118126H: Head Tube Angle65.1 deg65.1 deg65.1 deg65.1 degI: Seat Tube Angle77.1 deg77.1 deg77.1 deg77.1 degJ: Standover Height74767880K: Chainstay Length44444444L: Wheelbase1196122512531282Suggested Rider HeightFrame SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeRider Height5'3 - 5'8" 0 cm5'8" - 6'0" 0 cm6'0" - 6'4" 0 cm6'4"+ 0 cmGT Force 29 (Low)SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length16.517.318.118.9B: Effective Top Tube22.337.624.425.5C: Stack24.224.224.224.2D: Reach16.517.518.51.9E: BB Height13.713.713.713.7F: BB Drop1.11.11.11.1G: Head Tube Length4.04.34.65.0H: Head Tube Angle64.5 deg64.6 deg64.6 deg64.6 degI: Seat Tube Angle76.5 deg76.6 deg76.6 deg76.6 degJ: Standover Height29.029.830.230.2K: Chainstay Length17.417.417.416.6L: Wheelbase47.248.349.450.5GT Force 29 (High)SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length16.517.318.118.9B: Effective Top Tube22.323.324.425.4C: Stack24.124.324.624.9D: Reach16.817.818.719.7E: BB Height14.014.014.014.0F: BB Drop0.80.80.80.8G: Head Tube Length4.04.34.65.0H: Head Tube Angle65.1 deg65.1 deg65.1 deg65.1 degI: Seat Tube Angle77.1 deg77.1 deg77.1 deg77.1 degJ: Standover Height2.93.03.13.1K: Chainstay Length1.71.71.71.7L: Wheelbase47.148.249.350.5Suggested Rider HeightFrame SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeRider Height5'3 - 5'8" 0 cm5'8" - 6'0" 0 cm6'0" - 6'4" 0 cm6'4"+ 0 cm
