Transition Sentinel Bike Review and Test Ride | Should you buy this bike?

I recently upgraded my ride and got a Transition Sentinel 2022 GX build. This video is my first impressions on some of my favorite trails. The real question is… should you buy this bike?

Great video, as usual. I hope that you continue to like the bike. I went from a 26” hardtail to a 29” full suspension XC bike. I was overwhelmed by the difference.

I think I’m starting to like it more and more. Just took a little getting used to lol

[@allenjanes5976]

Thanks. If it's anywhere near good as my scout, you'll love it

[@offdaystv]

So far it’s pretty good besides the creaking

[@shaneridesmtb]

I don't care what you say, as an average rider, I love my Sentinel! Good bike and so far very solid. I really like how sturdy it feels, that's a big plus from me 😂

It’s grown on me, but the first few rides I was having some buyers remorse. I think taking it on Hyde and Blood Rock is what sealed the deal for me. It climbed GREAT! In North Carolina so I feel like I’m officially a big fan of this bike.

Yeah man, ticks are now the scariest part of mountain biking. The rest is child's play in comparison!

Crazy that a company held to such high standards regularly sends out creaky bikes 😂

[@offdaystv]

This bike is used. Sorry for not adding that 🙏

@@offdaystv Honestly check and make sure the shock mounting bolts and the pivot points are torqued. That should fix it. Transition has all the torque specs on their site

[@offdaystv]

@@lukas-a9234To follow up I made sure everything is torqued properly and regreased all of the bearings/pivots and it still creaks. I believe it’s coming from the rear shock but not 100% sure what it is.
