Christmas Wish List: GT Force 3.0

Rating:
The Good:

Price, components, shred-ablility, fun-ness?

The Bad:

Not amazing pedal efficiancy

Overall Review:

I demoed this bike at Canyon's resort, Utah. I actually first used it to downhill.  It was fine going down hard blues and blacks. My friend was on a more expensive downhill bike, and I was beating him down and getting bigger air.  The only time I had a slight problem was when I went off of a big drop, but hey! This bike wasn't made for that.  Then I took it all-mountain riding.  Again, it was super fun downhill, it was great uphill until I hit this really steep scree field, and the forks don't completely lock out, so I could really feel my pedal efficiany failing.

Incredible trail bike

Rating:
The Good:

Bike has great trail geometry, good components for the price, and rides amazing

The Bad:

A little squeaky, but nothing a little grease and some time won't fix, some what complicated suspension linkage

Overall Review:

This bike has awesome trail geometry, is pretty light for its size/purpose, has good components for the price. I pretty much listed everything in the pros/cons. This is  a much better bike then the older Kona Coiler i was riding before and is much lighter.
