Aluminum is back on the menu for Transition's popular Scout and Sentinel models.

Our expectations of the Transition Sentinel Carbon were very high for this group test,not least because the guys and gals behind the brand are really good riders themselves. Its specs look extremely promising, but can the bike deliver on the trail?
Rewards an active riding style
Lots of reserves for big impacts
Excellent climbing characteristics
Punishes a passive riding style
Not enough traction in rough terrain
Very stiff bike overall

Can this revamped long-travel 29er out-perform the original? - Mtbr.com

There’s more than meets the eye with the latest and greatest version of Transition Bikes’ Sentinel. The crisp edges and gentile curves are surely drool-worthy, but if a bike doesn’t ride at least twice as good as it looks, what’s the point? Thankfully, the sorcerers at Transition put the utmost importance on how a bike rides, the reason they’ve gone above and beyond to develop their SBG geometry, adapting their numbers to match the needs of modern-day trail bikes. As for the new Sentinel, the biggest update is an extra 10mm of travel. While this might not seem like much, it brings the bike into a new category of sendability. The steadfast feeling that the company’s bikes are so well known for, simply because it’s perfectly suited to the Northwest, hasn’t wavered, yet they’ve also managed to ramp up the responsiveness and playfulness.

What do you do to update a bike that was already ahead of its time, like the Transition Sentinel? Not much. And as it turns out, that was just enough.

Today is the day Transition unveils their new Sentinel. The short version of the changes they made to their mid-travel 29" trail bike reads like this: 10mm more travel, slightly slacker at the head tube, slightly steeper at the seat tube, 5mm longer chain stays, increased tire clearance, and, it won't take you long to notice, a revised visual ID that looks less like the swoopy organic shapes many brands have been favouring, and more angular and stealth-fighterish.

The full carbon Transition Sentinel frame looks super slick, and ticks just about every box in the ‘modern geometry’ checklist.
One of a handful of 140mm travel 29ers that are truly Alpine ready
Less urgent and spritely pedalling than plenty similar travel rigs
