Expirience with the Transition Sentinel Carbon XT

Ludwig Döhl In terms of riding on very demanding single trails, the Enduro of Transition is an absolute banger. With 14,2 kg weight for the complete bike, the Sentinel Carbon XT joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 8000 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. The flat 63,6 degree head tube angle of the Transition Sentinel Carbon XT oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. For 6199 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential.
