Anyone have experience with GT Force Amp+ EMTBs?

They are currently on special in NZ for a good price and have the EP801 + 630W battery, 170mm dropper and Yarri RC fork but there isn't many reviews online that I can find for the EP801 models.

I had one for a few months 3 years ago, great bike apart from the fork (It had 35's that have no place on any bike) should have kept it and upgraded it.

That looks really good in the green. The latest comes with Yari RC, I think it’s a slight improvement over the 35 but I’d probably upgrade it to a 38/zeb eventually. Can you say what made you get rid of it if it was so good ?
I had been looking at a Polygon T7E and Trek rail 7 but this GT is going for only $5499 which is hard to ignore. That’s $2500 less than the rail 7 which I could use for either treating the family or bike upgrades.

I only bought it for a weekend trip, I had the Heckler on order, and then the order kept being delayed. I got back what I paid for it. The Forks were the only downside, I swapped some off another bike for the duration I had it.
