Always a big fan of your reviews. I've had a Spur and Sentinel on order for over 8 months and should be arriving early June. Even more stoked to get the Sentinel after watching this review!
Top quality video, review, and bike. I can't decide between the Sentinel and the Stumpjumper Evo. They seem pretty similar on paper, but finding either one of them in stock is almost impossible haha.
Another fantastic review. Would love to demo this bike but you know, 2021. Appreciate the nuance of all of your reviews. Really some of the best out there. Great job!
Great video Connor! I ran into the same issue just last week when I went to install my Absolute Black oval 32 on my Ibis Ripmo V2, there was literally only about 0.010" clearance with the chain stay. Disappointing really, so I'm waiting to get a refund for it and decide if I want to drop to a 30. The Ripmo climbs so great I'm undecided. Best part was seeing the condo with no snow LOL. However in 2009 the ski season looked a little bit like summer. Can't wait for the next one, thanks again!
Been loving my Sentinel since last October. I'm a Transition fan boy though. Good to know Redbull and Moosehouse are running lol thanks for that. Great stuff, love to see you keep doing the youtube thing just sad its not through MooseHouse Media anymore. Either way keep up the good content bro.
Transition says on their website that the bike is able to run with 140mm travel aswell. I checked how the Geo changes when you would combine the Frame with a 150mm fork to run a 140/150 setup. In XL you would get: 505.4mm Reach 636.5mm stack 1287.6mm wheelbase -32mm bb-Offset 76.8° STA 64° HTA I think a 140/150mm 29er with this geo would be an awesome bike.
Would love to see a Scout review as well. I'm considering one of the two, leaning towards the Scout mostly because I've never been on a 29 inch bike. Being as I need a small frame 29ers always seem too big. I need a true do everything bike apart from super aggressive shuttle and bike park days as I have a dedicated DH bike for that. The Scout seems like the better option for an every day bike that can go from aggressive enduro trails to after work XCish laps to all day rides. If you can demo one I'm sure lots of people would be interested as there is a serious lack of coverage on the Scout.
its slacker than most enduro bikes and its travel its right on point with enduro! its a really capable bike if can only have one! seems to be a enduro sweetspot beast if you ask me! Ive only ridden a v1 and thats not enduro travel but 150 is
I'd say most enduro race bikes are well over 160mm these days. That said, You could race enduro on the Sentinel. I just wouldn't call it an enduro bike. Doesn't really ride like the others - not a bad thing. Honestly, I'd prefer it to a full-blown enduro race bike.
@@bikersedge what successful bike is well over 160? Rocky is 160 Nukeproff also 160 and Both GT and Yeti are 150 if im not mistaken. 10mm of travel doesn't make that much of a difference. Nice review anyway!!! PS I think DeVinci is 140!
@@madeiradriftin4429 You're right. With last year being a crapshoot for the EWS it's tough to find a successful enduro bike over 160. I suspect this year will be different though with big 170mm bikes coming out.
@@bikersedge You may be right! I think the same guys will be wining again and they are on 150 to 160mm bikes.

Cheers on the channel. Good work and nice reviews
I had to choose between the Sentinel or the Megatower. In the end I bought the Megatower. I'm 6ft & the LG Sentinel felt a little too small & very cramped up in the cockpit underneath me compared to the LG Megatower. But I rode the sentinel in XL & it felt a little better but I still went with Santa Cruz in the long run because of the warranty they offer can't be beat. I'm not knocking on the Sentinel because it is still a bad ass bike👍🏿 One thing for sure it's a hell of a lot lighter then my Megatower😅
It took us a minute to get our hands on one, but I'm glad we did. If you like to climb faster, get a Ripmo. If you like to descend faster, get a Sentinel.
As the owner of both id go sentinal i sold my v2 ripmo it feels like an xc bike compare to the sentinal haha and i still beat all the 130mm bjke on the climbs hahah
Sweet review! I was initially thinking of getting a Patrol but have decided it might be too much of a "pig" for a lot of the trails I tend to ride. The Sentinel seems more versatile overall but still capable on nasty stuff. Is this model in the review the carbon frame in the "ti grey" colour?
Hi there! Nice video, but i have a question... Why No one in reviews has ever drop 1 or 2 spacers from the stem for example, to drop down the height of the handlebar and have more weight over the front? I did that and all the wash out part dissapeared and its very predictable like a 65 degree headtube angle bike. I dont have to change my riding position. Handlebar height, is taller than my Capra 29er was with 170mm fork.... Give this option a shot , and give us an update if you want... Cheers 🤙🍺
@@bikersedge Nice! It is definitely one of my top options. I'm also thinking about getting the Spectral 29er Canyon released. I really want XT (that's what I have on my Spur), but don't want to break the budget too hard.
so, in the wake of the spire and new patro and the buzz and whatnotl, how would you say the current sentinel compares to the evil the offering or the devinci the troy or the ibis the ripmo or the classic big-ish allrounder, the kona the process the 153?
Out of all of those I’ve only ridden the sentinel and ripmo. They fall in the same category but at opposite ends. Ripmo climbs better and feels more nimble on the DH. Sentinel is on the burlier end of the all-mountain category.
Hi. Do you have experience with Marin alpine trail c2? I want to buy a Transition Sentinel and discovered Marin. The geometry is almost the same on paper, the Marin is only 1 cm longer in the front and 1 cm shorter in the rear, to put it simply (the reach is a centimeter longer and the chainstays are a centimeter shorter... And the price of the Marin is unbeatable... Thanks a lot for the answer, Pavel.
No experience with the Marin. It’s not a brand we carry. Geo is only half of the equation. Suspension design is a huge factor too. That’s what makes the sentinel so amazing for me.
Tough call. I haven't ridden the Evil so I can't really say. The Sentinel fits my personal riding style very well. That said, I owned an SB130LR for quite a while - loved that thing. Faster uphill than the Sentinel but not as comfortable or controlled on the DH. If I could get my hands on a Ripmo, I'd gladly take one - really fast uphill and super playful on the DH.
@@bikersedge what size stem do you run? Assuming the Ripmo still beats the Sentinel uphill...a little or a lot? Sounds like your bike of choice may/would be a Ripmo if available? Any preference and difference in agility/handling on tighter trails and switchbacks?
Those the Deity Skywire bars? Curious how you like them as I haven't been able to find a solid review on them... Any noticeable dampening or harshness compared to other carbon bars you've tried? (I'm thinking these or the One Ups)
Yes they’re Skywires. They feel pretty standard for a carbon bar. I don’t notice anything amazing about damping, but I also don’t feel a ton of hand fatigue with them either. I’ve had these for almost 3.5 years now and they’ve held up really well.
What tool pouch is that on the underside of the top tube? I know there are bosses to mount one there just curious which one you've run on this bike or if you've found something better. Cheers
It's been a long time since I've ridden the Sight. I also rode a L when I tested it. The reach and wheelbase on the XL are huge. I want to say they feel pretty similar though. I think per size the Sentinel will feel a little more manageable/maneuverable.
The 150 is getting a little older so its geo is closer to what we are seeing with the all-mountain bikes these days. It's been a while since I've ridden a 150, but I'd say these two are pretty similar.
Hey thanks. I try to not blow the trails up all over the internet so I don’t put them in the description. This was filmed on a whole bunch of trails at PCMR in the johns and sweeneys area.
Not sure if it would be something Transition would recommend against but I don’t see why it would t work. I’d honestly just get the Spire if you were looking to do that.
Also 6'2 on XL. I'd recommend L if I were you because the reach is appropriate, and it's pretty slack so has a good long wheelbase to start with meaning you don't need to upsize. But really go with whichever you can get your hands on.
I hope you're as stoked as me on it. I don't think the Zeb made a huge difference. It feels really good. Then again, so did the Lyrik. I go into more detail about the Zeb vs Lyrik in the written article - the link is in the description if you want to read it.

I didn't have any issues with the bike washing out. Felt great as is with 15mm of spacers under the stem.
What do you think would make this an Induro bike? Just more and plushy rear travel?
Probably more travel. I mean you could race enduro on it for sure. It just rides more like an all-mountain bike than a traditional enduro race bike.

What time of year are you visiting?
Fall- early Aug/ September
I’d make sure to hit park city at that time. Lots of good stuff up there.

You bet! If you get a chance to throw a leg over one, do it.
You said it had 150mm travel, but Im seeing that it has 160/150 - the 2022 version, so is this more than what you mentioned?
I only call out rear travel. That’s generally how you refer to how much travel a bike has. Forks can be swapped for different lengths.
I have the v2 hightower but want something a bit more aggressive without sacrificing much when peddling, is this the bike for me ??
100% it is.
How much travel is your zeb?
160. I kept it the same as the stock fork.
How does this compare to the norco Sight 29? I feel like they are in the same ballpark.
It's been a long time since I've ridden the Sight. I also rode a L when I tested it. The reach and wheelbase on the XL are huge. I want to say they feel pretty similar though. I think per size the Sentinel will feel a little more manageable/maneuverable.
Can you do a comparison between the sentinel and the switchblade?
We don’t carry pivot at the shop. We won’t be able to make that happen.

Haven’t ridden them. They’re a direct to consumer brand we don’t have access to at the shop.
How might you compare this with the Yeti SB150?
Its been so long since I've ridden a 150 I can't really make a fair assessment. From memory, I want to say they're similar.

What is the intro song?
Royalty-free stock music from the internet. Not sure on the name/band.
Kinda gives me stumpy Evo vibes just cause of the mid travel ish + very aggressive geo. Idk I've never ridden either so I wouldn't actually know lol

How did you mount the bag to the frame?
A wolf tooth b rad mount.

can a 170 front travel fit in that
Not sure if it would be something Transition would recommend against but I don’t see why it would t work. I’d honestly just get the Spire if you were looking to do that.

Park city
Is 150mm short travel now?
Shorter than most bikes with a 63.6 degree head tube angle.
If only I could find a medium grey sentinel for sale anywhere near Asheville.

@@DM-hw4cr why? For racing or riding, that’s a long reach. Reason I ask is because I’m like 6’2 1/2” and ordered a XL

Either way you can go wrong!
