Following the footsteps of the GT Force 27.5 (look for our long term review soon), the new Force 29 is all in on the recent trend of long travel 29″ bikes, sporting 170mm up front, and 150mm in the rear. Throughout all three of its available models, the bike features a full alloy frame. Our test bike, the top spec’d ‘Pro’ model comes in at a reasonable price point of $4,700.
