Force 29 Expert components
Fork
The Fox Performance Float 36 is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 170mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Rear Shock
The Force 29 Expert has a rear shock with a travel of 150mm. The model Fox Performance Float DPX2 185x55mm is the one installed in this bike. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Force 29 Expert model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. GT Force 29 Expert is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
