TRANSITION SENTINEL CARBON GX

£4,799 / 29in / windwave.co.uk

Transition is based in Bellingham, Washington in the top western corner of the USA. Renegade trails laced with jumps and berms thread through its dank, steep, fern-covered woods and it looks like a fantastic place to ride. And after riding the Sentinel, and knowing this rugged fall-line terrain is accessible from the company’s HQ, it’s clear where this 140mm-travel 29er is designed to excel.

But before we get into that, let’s take a closer look at the bike.
