yyyy... why that GT Sanction is named Force (other GT frame)

IanHylands Mod Plus (Jan 25, 2012 at 11:54)

It's a secret, give it a few years...

Fifix (Jan 25, 2012 at 11:59)

mmm, do You know? I won't tell anybody Big Grin

From skatodd: "The Force LE is an upcoming 2013 model that is a mash-up of Force & Sanction for enduro type race use. The Force & Sanction (Force LE) frames are virtually identical in construction. The difference is geometry (TT length, HT angle, & fork length) & a TT gusset. They use the same shock length (7.5") & stroke (2.0") for 150mm of rear wheel travel. The shock tune on Sanction varies slightly to provide better performance on longer descents and thru high velocity compressions (g-out, fast drops)."

Does that help?

Thanks

i ride a sanction and love it to bits.
but ive always wondered why GT made the rear shox length 7.5x2.0 as its really hard to get after market shox that size. (especially coil shox)

Fifix (Jan 28, 2012 at 9:39)

It's pretty hard but possible. I'm riding with DHX 5 Coil that size. I was lucky because there was one on ebay but i had to get it from USA. The main problem is that there were no springs in Poland in that size... I had to wait a bit till I could use shock with some softer spring

Lurch-ECD (Jan 29, 2012 at 4:17)

yep, i settled with a dhx coil i found on pinkbike
too bad rock shox vivids dont come in that size

Ugly frame, great parts!

Rattsl (Jan 25, 2012 at 16:09)

It's not a bad looking frame.

seraph (Jan 25, 2012 at 16:57)

Meh.

Edwin1000 (Feb 1, 2012 at 15:02)

Er? It's orgasmic.

seraph (Feb 1, 2012 at 15:25)

I disagree. Never liked Mongoose/GT FS frames.

ribo88 (Feb 2, 2012 at 4:57)

agree with seraph here, they never realy cut the mustard in looks, altho the new fury is realy nice

Edwin1000 (Feb 5, 2012 at 5:19)

Still good though, with some of the best parts

Rattsl (Jan 25, 2012 at 16:08)

He prefers that type of guide possibly?
