My Enduro Bike Check GT Force Carbon!

This is the New GT Force Carbon, and it has an extra jockey wheel that routes the chain up high. The reason for this is actually pretty cool!

[@grahaml3097]

phil going crazy with the edits this video

[@Seanlejawn]

Straight up he snapped

[@calebw707]

Second grade Me when I discovered how to edit videos

[@yesto9676]

How to destroy the flow of a video.

[@JoelKalich]

Not in a great way imo.

[@mrshaneyt43]

And 2 minutes in I nearly left 🥴

[@pspuser1991]

I really enjoyed your review of this bike!

[@SidiNic]

This was not a review.

ThisIsNotAReview 🤣

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Reading through the early comments I appreciate you all for being for good sports about this "not a review", I've had a good laugh reading through them. Thank you :)

[@ckizzi]

Please make a full powder ridge video

[@adamsobkiewicz6021]

Yes please do that

[@kid_withabike7920]

Wait this isn’t a review?

[@fcbotieno]

You left an easter egg about potato salad in your last video

[@grasenwillink4554]

How is the bike at slower speeds

[@jonathancook4022]

Great bike review. Thanks Phil.

[@steveperry2931]

Actually one of the better explanations I've seen for *why* the idler helps prevent pedal kickback. Looking forward to seeing you hit some crazy gaps on the new bike!

[@feldybikes]

5:53 previous generation also less capable because it lacked a shock. Super smooth, just bottomed to easily.

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

A.O.S. IS FAR SUPERIOR.

[@dimimtb]

To be honest, no interest in a new bike but just like the way Phil's videos roll, they're just so much fun, GT is lucky to have him.

[@fantomarmy4475]

Awesome bike! Loved this review so much, thanks 😏

[@antoncollett4402]

Thanks so much for the great review Phil it was very impartial

[@VitaNovaProductions]

Phil, thank you for including the times you had trouble saying certain things. I am someone who has issues with speaking and it's very inspiring to see how successful you are despite speech difficulty with certain words and phrases. Love your content and enjoyed watching this not review.

[@RobJMTB]

Oh man, so glad to find a review video of the next GT bike. Stoked to watch this!
/s

[@luke_2617]

That looks sick! Stoked to see and ride with you at Blue!

[@00s0am]

I really enjoyed this review, I'll be sure to take it into account when buying my bike.

[@glebivanovsky7886]

Point A for (B)ottom bracket and B for (A)xle... Yes, totally makes sense :D

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Ahaha, that's actually funny. Good catch 😂

[@endangeredgnome5337]

Very good explanations on the suspension designs and implementations. Thank you!!!!

[@cavanparsons4593]

Reviews like this are just great 👍

[@DailyDoseOfWisdom4]

This video made me think of when I met phill in Whistler. Great video and hope you enjoy the new bike.

[@Nickskis22]

What a great way to start the day. Amazing bike review man. Great edits and stuff too. Loving it.

[@patrickmccormack1427]

Nice video, awesome way to explain the idler pulley. I learned something from this one.

[@Mangoz_Actual]

new bike looks awesome! cant wait to see it preform! thanks for the video!

[@cartunerph4827]

Best review of the bike ive heard so far.

[@e2_earthfarmer655]

I really enjoyed this video. It had some great editing and was really informative

[@martinnawoj7709]

I only kind of understood the high-pivot game until this. Now it totally makes sense. Thanks Phil!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Thats why I'm here :)

[@JackyLegs]

Hey Phil, I really liked this bike review. Thanks for clarifying that it was indeed, a review

[@cqlvm]

great review phil I love your opinion on this bike in your review video!!!

[@hardtailjefe]

Best review ever!! Thanks Phil!

[@lionelhernandez34]

Thx for going through the "extra wheel" I've wondered the purpose on other brands. Figured there had to be a reason, your explanation of travel makes sense to me. Thx for sharing

[@motomanchas870]

So stoked to see you post videos again🤙🏻

[@siamese7577]

This was a fantastic review!

[@christophertran1588]

Thanks for explaining what the idler pulley does, i've always wondered how it worked but i couldn't find much explanation on it.

[@justinsiever710]

That thing looks soooooo good!! Good work GT

[@DWCPodcast]

I appreciate you explaining the idler. Good on you. Thanks.

[@jonzengotitabengoa6366]

this review was sick!!!

[@matthewmoreland99]

I love having the start/stops and re-shoots. Shows truly how it is making videos..

[@meteormedia7021]

Great review, bro👊

[@justinwbohner]

Chain growth only pulls on the pedals at low speeds. I'm on Onyx Vespers also on a DW link bike. I like the chain growth on technical climbs because it keeps the bike from sinking into the travel, especially on ledge ups and going over boulders.

[@janeblogs324]

Free speed

[@Donkybonky]

Killer review Phill! Love it

[@bartekbuzuk]

Every time I see Phil (or Noga, Wyn, Martin) nostalgia hits and I want to come back to GT bikes. My first two proper mountain bikes were GTs and I loved them. Nice notreview, Phil, I enjoyed it :)

[@jokermtb]

Been on the last two versions of their Sensor model, and I'm still in love...the new geometry frames are truly game changers in the handling dept.

[@rider2416]

Phil I love the edits in this review 😁

[@vikingo4877]

This edit was crazy fun! Made me wanna see the whole video even though I already seen the bike.

[@aftondanforth7387]

[@gunnarj6630]

Great review, thank you very much. I will look into it.

[@ktvlm3987]

this review was good, but i was really hoping for more Smokey footage. i wanted to hear her input on the idler position and chain growth

[@mymorristribe]

I feel you on the SRAM brake bleed process. Ugh. Fun video though. Thanks!

[@bbeenn]

Best review ever!

[@The_RC_Dude]

I think Phil was trying to tell us something in the beginning of the video...I get the vague impression that he was trying to tell us that this video is "not a review"? 😂😂
Good video Phil, I like the tiny little chain guide on the idler wheel!

[@benhockey380]
