Description
The 2009 GT Force 3.0 is a 26-inch wheel aluminum full-suspension mountain bike built around a 6061 monocoque frame with GT’s Independent Drivetrain suspension system, delivering 6.0 inches of rear wheel travel through a revised forged I-link design with standardized bearings and a modular dropout. An SR MAG 32 fork with 140 mm of air-sprung travel handles the front end, while a RockShox BAR 2.1 air shock manages the rear.
Drivetrain duties fall to a full Shimano Deore 9-speed groupset paired with an FSA Alpha Drive triple crankset. Tektro Auriga Pro hydraulic brakes with 180 mm rotors provide stopping power, and Kenda Nevegal tires on WTB SX-24 rims round out the contact points.
