G-FORCE RS
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the G-FORCE RS. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
6 reasons to buy
- The G-FORCE RS is available as a step-over or step-through (RS ST) with the choice of 15.6Ah or 25Ah batteries.
- Some reviewers praise the ride comfort thanks to the plush sprung saddle, fat tires, and full suspension.
- The RS comes with a headlight, taillight with brake light activation, and fenders.
- A 180lb tester gets 37 miles of range from the 25Ah battery using mostly throttle and PAS 5.
- Reviewers appreciate that the throttle's speed is not locked to PAS level.
- The integrated rear rack is rated to carry 100lb, and the RS can accommodate a 400lb payload.
13 reasons not to buy
- Testers complain of squeaky brakes and noisy suspension.
- Three 6’ reviewers complain both the RS and RS ST are too small, and a 5’9” reviewer requires the seatpost at its max height.
- Experts complain about the slow initial acceleration and lack of torque, and there are no settings to modify motor output.
- The RS is heavy at 80.5 and 82.5lb.
- Testers complain the non-adjustable rear suspension is too stiff.
- The suspension fork bottoms out too easily, and the preload knob doesn’t change much.
- Although advertised with 180mm disc brake rotors, testers receive bikes with 160mm rear rotors.
- Experts feel the additional set of shocks doesn't provide any benefit.
- Testers are irritated the “cheap” plastic grips twist while riding.
- Multiple reviewers receive bikes with shipping damage, such as paint scuffs, gouges, and a bent derailleur.
- Experts report ghost pedaling from 20mph.
- The RS can reach 28mph using the throttle, exceeding legal e-bike classifications.
- Testers say the battery indicator is inaccurate.
Bottom line
The G-FORCE RS is a fat-tire, full-suspension e-bike. It's available as a step-over or step-through with the choice of 748Wh or 1,200Wh batteries. The comfort, especially for shorter riders, and smooth acceleration impress. Some reviewers enjoy the suspension, but others find the unbranded non-adjustable rear suspension too stiff and the suspension fork too soft. Similarly, the squeaky brakes work for some but not others. Other complaints include the high weight, incorrect sizing, and ghost pedaling, making the RS hard to recommend in a flooded market.Expert Reviews
