Today I am taking a quick look at the VERY nice GT sensor AL expert mountain bike. It is a well balanced, well priced and well made XC rig, capable of killing most trail centre rides.

The first thing that stands out is the colour scheme....this was almost a baby blue, but, it stood out from the crowd and looked special. Other riders commented on how sexy it looked, and how GT have excelled themselves over the years.



The braking system was a pretty standard deore set up, which is on a lot of factory bike these days, and although they performed well enough, I felt they wasn't enough for the bike.....maybe some XT brakes wouldn't have gone a miss GT!!!
