Just saw some photos of the 2010 GT Sensors. Read in one article they're 130mm rear travel, another states 120mm travel. Confused...I am? Which is this GT replacing/upgrading the Marathon Force, or neither?
Looking for a decent, Lt Wt trail bike, low maintenance rear sus. system.
Read some good reports bout the GT system, others not so positive.
Whole bike needs to be around 27lbs, or lighter for the N.Wales trails, year-round.
Any advice/info appreciated. TA!

120mm travel. Is a new platform, doesn't replace anything though the marathon is carbon only now.
The Idrive needs to be tried. I think it is jsut about the best sus paltform out there as it has most the advantages of a high single pivot bike (backwards wheel arc, high antisquat) yet the big disadvantage is negated - pedal kickback. However the extra linkage does add weight.0 -
