Origin
GT entered the e-MTB market in 2019 with the Force GT-E, electrifying their proven Force enduro platform. The eForce Amp+ represents the latest iteration with Shimano's EP801 motor and 630Wh battery, pairing e-bike capability with the Force's LTS suspension geometry for all-day enduro riding with electric assist.

The verdict
+Strengths
- Shimano EP801 + 630Wh battery pairing delivers strong power and long range for enduro riding
- RockShox Yari fork with E-MTB rating is correctly spec'd for the extra weight and forces of e-bike riding
- Maxxis Minion tires (DHF/DHR II combo) are among the best all-condition enduro tire choices available
−Weaknesses
- Slate T4 brakes are below the quality level expected on a full 150mm-travel e-MTB at this price
- Alloy frame adds significant weight -- the eForce Amp+ is notably heavier than carbon e-MTB competitors
- SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain feels slightly underpowered for the torque output of the EP801 motor under hard acceleration
