Oct 2024 · Ian Collins

In July I attended the launch of a new bike which I’ve given very high praise in its past iteration – the Transition Sentinel.

Oct 2024 · Tim Wild

I’m never going to threaten the podium at an enduro race — but the Transition Sentinel made me feel as if I could, and ride as if I should.

  • Improved shock mount

  • Flip-chip allows for mixed wheel setup

Lows
  • Needs to be locked out to climb well

  • Might take some work to get the correct sizing

  • Seat clamp bolt could be recessed for weather protection
