#!markdown quite honestly do not know why GT have spec'd this bike with the X2, it's seems to me that the bobbing that happens without a couple of firmer shock settings has tipped this review to end as does about "deficiencies elsewhere" reading the article the main deficiency was the climbing. Other reviews note the bob in open but then pay credit to its competent climbing in the firmer modes. GT team has commented how the Sanction was intended to be used with a switchable rear shock. I bought the GT Sanction Team frame set on Tuesday and sold the X2 on Wednesday
