Transition Sentinel V2 Bike Check

I finally found one. This is a bike we are very excited about here at Straight Line. Updated for 2020 the new Sentinel is a little longer, slacker, and with a touch more travel. This NX build in size large comes in at just under 34lbs and looks stunning in the dark grey. Stay tuned for our first ride review as well as a long term review.

Nice review as always.
I run NX with GX shifter, they make a whole lot of difference. Its not that costly if I smash the derailleur, but gives me that snappy precise shifting feel.

Minor correction - HTA is identical to the Meta AM. Excited for your full review and comparison - I'm guessing it's a lot lighter than the AM.

This was my first choice this year, but I'm happy with my META AM purchase, as I'm a bit of a 'Breanne of Tarth' kinda girl, lol, that and I really can't justify the extra cost of a carbon frame.

Great job. Looking forward to hearing the comparison between the transition and the meta TR.

Straight Line, appreciate your reviews! Between the Ripmo AF Deore and Sentinel V2 NX, which would you prefer if you could get price difference to $1000. I'm pretty new to MTB, not doing crazy enduro stuff mostly trail moving more into technical descents. Santa Cruz area mostly, maybe moving back to PNW in a few years. Thanks!

Great first look! How much do you weigh (you said over 200) and how tall are you?

It looks like you FOMO'd. Prices are so much lower these days.
