does the 2009 GT force carbon expert has the independent drivetrain?

Also, i own a GT Force and am really very happy with the value that the bike represents but my major complaint is the squeaking i get from the pivots. i have to service it once every 3 months or after every couple of muddy rides to keep the squeak at bay. I'm a mechanic and can do all the work myself but i can imagine this would drive the average joe crazy and it certainly is annoying to me. If GT could design a way to better seal those bearings from the elements i'd have zero complaints.

one thing at the i-Drive suspension does not address is brake feedback. On any suspension design that doesn't have a pivot at the axel point, the suspensions travel is going to be affected by braking forces. The real world results of this is that the suspension stiffens up as the brake is applied which can suck when you're bombing through some narly rockgarden and need to scrub some speed. The only suspension designs that i have seen that do address this issue is ABP and DW's new Split Pivot.

Tradition singel pivot isn´t goodly better then of VPP.

except that Marc Beaumont won at Val di Sole last year and finished 5th overall on the season

I think specialized ''dislike'' this..

This guy is a retard!. Just cos your bikes have a fancy "independent bottom bracket" does not change the fact that your suspension system is single pivot. Any dumbass can work out that you can't have a reward or vertical wheel path with a single pivot!

I appreciate and respect GT's technology, but in the world of DH Racing, they're not on the podium...
I really admire GT's good looking bikes...
i met this guy at sheep hills who works for GT his name is louis, and he was telling me about this and let me test ride his own badass bike like this one, and all i have to say is i was very impressed.... not only but the bike but how knowlegable their employees are...
