Transition Sentinel
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Only reason I upgraded was I wanted a XXL frame and the V3 Transition Sentinel was too good to pass up last November.
- Bronsons and sentinels are sweet if you only need 150mm of travel and want a more poppy bike.
- Id go with something from transition either the sentinel, spire or the patrol they are also a local company so sourcing parts when needed won't be hard at all
- I still have the Bronson, but am much more likely to reach for my Relay or Sentinel.
- The sentinel surprised me when I rode my buddies for a lap. Pedals really well and pretty responsive/nimble for the size.

Recently upgraded to a sentinel from a lower travel bike, and it climbs just as well if not better. My only complaint is that I need a longer travel dropper than what came stock, but that’s an easy fix
From your list - sentinel. Transition is a great company.
For you if it's between those two, grab the sentinel. It's a long bike but I've seen all the reviews for it that state the V3 pedals damn well!
I just made a post about this last week! I went with the Sentinel. Just picked it up yesterday
I've ridden the previous Sentinel, and it can be some work to move up a hill, but I believe they changed the link on their suspension to help make the progression have a more stable pedal platform.
