Hey bud, I see you live in Adelaide, would you say the 150mm rear travel on this is enough for trails here such as the mixer and fox long? (Never ridden anything below 180mm so I'd like to know what you think)
Yeah it’s a good all rounder for a mix of riding and doesn’t blow through the travel. Could maybe use an extra 10mm on the rear for the Mixer gaps but besides that it’s fine. I think 160/170 would be perfect though
Thanks How is the fork? Is it comparable to fox 34 or 36? I am trying to decide between this one and polygon t7. Any idea which one would be better? I appreciate your opinion. Thx
I was happy with the Forks performance as it’s the same as the Fox 36 rhythm but I’ve now also installed the coil conversion for the Z1 which has made it even better.
hi im not too sure whats different on the 2021, if there is a change at all. you'll definitely be happy with it. I have changed the drive train and brakes as in my latest vid ive just posted. happy shreding and good luck with the new sled!
Yeah I put them on my Avalanche Hardtail and they’re great for light duties. I didn’t like the feel of the levers compared to the XT levers. They are great budget brakes though.
Comes down to rider skill mate but it has a 442 chain stay which is a little longer than most and being a 29 there are probably more playful ones but it’s on rails and it can definitely jump.
@@nigehill Thank You for your answer. I'm also 180cm and any models available to choose on official dealer in Poland are in size M. I like the bike very much, [mainly after watching your review :) ] but I think I will have to wait for the larger size to appear.
hey bro I want a gt force, but I'm from Mexico but I have family in the United States and they will bring it to me, can you tell me where to buy it on the Internet?
@@nigehill what was wrong with the drivetrain it came with? or why did you change and why do you say it's a race machine now and not then with the stock drivetrain? ty
@@danieldeponte2631 nothing really wrong with it in the SX spec as they perform great on my Hardtail now but with the GX derailleur and shifter, X01 chain and 170mm crank arm length and shimano XT brakes and disc rotors it has a far superior feel and performance than it did before
Great video :) I have ordered the exact same bike (coming from a 2016 GT Force X Sport), really looking forward to it :)
Awesome! Such a great versatile bike and great descender! You’ll be very happy with it! Thanks for watching.
getting a used one for myself. thanks for the video. new friend here.
Awesome you will be very happy. With a few drive train upgrades it’s an awesome bike! Thanks for watching

its pretty nice video ty, do you know when gt usually releases bikes for the 2022s?
Que pesa?
Thanks for sharing the video. Waiting for mine to come in. 2021 looks identical, any differences?

So true, the standard build brakes are not good at all

Hey mate would you know if this is a playful type of bike, can it do jumps easily, bunny hops, manuals etc. I’m thinking of getting a second hand one

btw does it have bottle cage mount?
Hi yes it does have a bottle cage mount. I can fit my 600ml Camelbak bottle in it. Great bike and you’ll definitely love it .
@@nigehill thanks. i just hope no one else picks it up before I find the $$ I'll post a video if i do get it.
Hey could you tell me - what size do you choose (for what height)?
Hi I’m 180cm and have a large. Any shorter I would have got a medium

Which shop did you get it from?
what's the head angle and seat angle AND bb height on this 2020 bike?
I have the flip chip set to low so it has 64.6 deg Head angle and 76.6 seat. In the high it’s 65.1 and 77.1 respectively
@@nigehill ty! do you know the bb height? in any of these two settings..

@@woutervanhelden3763 it’s such a good bike and when you do the few upgrades to the drive train it makes it a race machine .
