Description

The 2009 GT Force 1.0 is an aluminum full-suspension mountain bike built around a 6061 monocoque frame featuring GT’s Independent Drivetrain suspension system with 6.0 inches of rear wheel travel. The updated design incorporates a forged I-link, standardized bearings, and a modular dropout system. A Fox Float 32 R fork with QR 15 through-axle delivers 140mm of front travel, paired with a Fox Float RP23 rear shock.

Drivetrain duties fall to a complete Shimano XT groupset, including the FC-M770 Hollowtech 2 crankset and Shadow rear derailleur. Mavic XM-719 disc rims and Kenda Nevegal tires on 26-inch wheels round out a capable trail-oriented package.
