Transition Sentinel V3

Transition Sentinel V3

The Sentinel rides the lines between planted bottomless sender and playful, poppy trail pony. This leaves it right in the sweet spot, as we like to call it. Its versatile attitude helps riders excel and push their limits, making it the "one bike" most will need. Its intuitive nature is easy to get acquainted with; you'll find yourself sending lines, jumps, and maneuvers you always felt were beyond your ability. Where before you went around, now you go over. Where you pushed up, now you pedal. Where you rolled, now you boost. It's time to Send-It-All.

The Transition Sentinel V3 is a highly capable all-mountain machine boasting 150mm of rear travel paired with a 160mm fork. Available in both premium Carbon and rugged Alloy frames, it features progressive geometry tailored for aggressive descending while maintaining efficient pedaling dynamics. Complete with top-tier suspension options from Fox and RockShox, powerful 4-piston brakes, and wide-range 12-speed drivetrains, the Sentinel is built to conquer everything from steep tech to flowy jump trails. Mixed-wheel compatibility ensures you can tune the ride to your exact style.

 

Key Features:

  • 150mm Rear / 160mm Front Travel: The perfect balance of suspension for eating up chunky descents while remaining snappy, supportive, and responsive on the pedals and through jump lines.

  • Premium Frame Options: Choose between a lightweight, stiff Carbon frame or a durable, bombproof Alloy chassis, both utilizing Transition's legendary Speed Balanced Geometry (SBG).

  • Mixed Wheel (Mullet) Compatibility: Run a full 29er setup for all-out speed and rollover, or swap to a 27.5" rear wheel for enhanced cornering agility and a playful, flickable rear end.

  • Top-Tier Drivetrain & Braking: Equipped with reliable, crisp-shifting 12-speed drivetrains (including Shimano XT Di2 and SRAM Eagle T-Type options) and powerful 4-piston brakes for ultimate control on the steepest descents.

  • High-Performance Suspension: Outfitted with premium, highly adjustable shocks and forks from Fox and RockShox, allowing you to dial in your perfect ride feel for any terrain.
