4 GT launches new Sensor and Sensor ST with lighter frame and improved geometry
GT Bicycles has unveiled an all-new Sensor, with the brand labelling it “the most capable trail bike we’ve ever built”. The bike features a new lightweight design, refined geometry and matched spec. With a new, optimised
frame design, the Sensor trail bike is lighter than its previous iteration and fine-tuned to fit a wider range of riders.
This is down to a 600g
weight reduction via an all-new carbon front triangle, adding a carbon seat stay, and some streamlined design on the rest of the alloy components.
The Sensor comes in S, M, L and XL, across five specifications, all with 29”

MTB, Pinarello began developing the bike in autumn 2022 and underwent a period of testing with Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Tom Pidcock and the Ineos Grenadiers’ technical team. Further testing will take place throughout 2023 with both riders continuing to be
wheels, with two aluminium and three carbon frames. The entry-level Sport utilises a Marzocchi Bomber Z2, 140mm fork, Fox DPS Performance rear shock and a SRAM SX drivetrain. The top of the range Carbon Pro LE comes with a RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 150mm fork, RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2T rear shock and SRAM XO1 drivetrain. GT has also released a
new lightweight carbon Sensor ST, the brand’s all-day adventurer.
The Sensor ST comes in S, M, L and XL with two specifications. Both have 120mm of rear wheel travel, Linkage Tuned Suspension, trail tuned geometry and kinematic, tube in tube cable routing, and integrated frame protection

heavily involved in its development. The Dogma XC will be available commercially in March 2024 and there is a second, hardtail frame also being developed to meet the demands of other World Cup circuits. With the recruitment of a dedicated internal MTB R&D and kinematics team, development on the Dogma XC began with Pinarello analysing Pidcock’s feedback and data from his two previous years of mountain bike testing and competition. The study highlighted the
requirements Pidcock felt were needed to produce a race bike capable of competing at the highest level and able to withstand the powerful riding styles both he and Ferrand-Prévot deploy.
