![]() ![]() ![]() This should be able to be done internally with a spacer with most shocks, at most shops. Interestingly, those who wanted to mitigate the travel and set the bike up to be more of an all arounder can do just that via swapping the rear shock stroke length from 62.5mm to 57.5mm. The rear shock has a 3 position lockout and externally adjustable Low Speed compression and a single rebound adjuster. The fork has 160mm travel and a short, 42mm offset crown with High and Low Speed compression and one rebound knob. On the GX build, a RockShox Lyrik RC2 and Super Deluxe RCT Ultimate as standard. While most of the geometry changes are nonexistent or subtle at most, the Sentinel did receive a travel bump out back from 140mm to 150mm, although the fork travel remains the same at 160mm. ![]() Transition also recently moved to a new carbon factory where their new frames are constructed using Japanese Toray carbon and with Latex EPS molding. First and foremost, visually you can see that the bike has taken on a totally new industrial design, with less swoopy, and instead much more angular lines. So – now that the long winded introduction to the old Sentinel is behind us, it’s time to meet the new Sentinel …Ī few months ago, Transition was kind enough to send out their high value $5,499 GX spec’d Sentinel for us to start testing. Anyhow, a few short years later, countless brands both large and small are implementing similar concepts with their geometry. Simultaneously, SBG made them better at climbing, due to the more upright, forward positioning and also better at descending, due to increased stability from a longer front end and slacker head angle. The combination of these three concepts went a very long way in improving modern mountain bikes in two directions. ![]()
