VENTURE Equipment The souped-up steal: GT Force GT-E Current Founded in 1979, GT Bicycles cut its teeth in the pioneering days of BMX, but the brand has come a long way since the era of mullet haircuts, foam crossbar pads and mag wheels, and its current mountain-bike range is renowned for balancing top-of-the-line tech with pocket-friendly prices. The GT-E Current is the “performance-enhancing” version of its all-mountain, full-suspension Force rides, with the race-ready aluminium frame ever-so-slightly beefed up to seamlessly incorporate the battery and Shimano STEPS motor. Strategically mixing high-end components – made by the likes of SunTour and X-Fusion – with own-branded parts means you get a ride that doesn’t cost the earth, but can grow with you and your newfound passion for pinning pumptracks and shredding singletrack. This is a no-nonsense introduction to the world of e-mountain biking. gtbicycles.com EFI – or ‘electronic fun injection’ – is the technical term that GT has coined for this electric-powered addition to its full-suspension line of mountain bikes. As Belgian downhill enduro pro, GT ambassador and <strong>Red</strong> Bull athlete Martin Maes likes to refer to it, this bike’s 29in wheels, 150mm of suspension travel and aggressive race geometry make it a very personal chair lift.
