GT is calling their updated suspension design Angle Optimized Suspension (or “A.O.S.”) and while it looks a bit different than what you’ve seen on GTs of the past, it has a good deal in common with both i-Drive and FreeDrive (the Mongoose spin on the i-Drive patent). Or, at least, neither of which seemed to rock i-Drive. Thus it was big news this past summer with GT showed off their 2014 Force and Sensor models-neither of which sport i-Drive suspension. In the bike business, that’s an eternity. GT full-suspension bikes have been based on i-Drive-the company’s unique independent drivetrain patent-for almost 15 years. The 2014 GT Force is based on the same independent drivetrain patent that has been the foundation of the past 15 years of GT full-suspension bikes, but there are plenty of new tweaks to the original formula that add up to improved performance out on the trail.
