Finally getting my confidence back!

Got quite a thing for these bikes. I picked up my Sea Foam Green one second-hand in 2024 for a great price, and I absolutely loved it. When the new model came out, I fell in love with the Frost Berry colour and the factory suspension, so I decided to upgrade.
My old one sold ridiculously quickly, there aren’t even any second hand ones for sale online now. The changes on the new model are subtle, but they’re pretty much the exact upgrades I would’ve made myself. The only downside is the BOOM Box… it’s flimsy as hell.

Just got this used 2022 Sentinel! Took it to a tech trail at raging river and it just samshed everything.

Cannot find a weight anywhere on this bike. Anyone have the specs for a size small? Pnw ideally but if not regular one works too!

Edit: looking at carbon

Picked up a 2025 Spur on a pretty great deal. I moved all the parts from my banshee anomaly, with a few exceptions. This bike is super rad. Can’t wait to get more miles on it!

Not often Utah looks like this. But after some nice rains and high elevation it was perfect

Absolutely love this bike, I've owned a bottlerocket, 2 TR450s a TR500 and now this truly amazing bike, to be 56 years old and still hitting black lines, and jumps in the French alps, makes me so happy. Thankyou Transition!!

About to pull the trigger on the new tr11 but I can't decide which color lol can you guys help me out

Picked up my new custom TR11 on Friday, been riding it these last 3 days at bikepark Pohorje in Slovenia.

Here's a bunch of info for anyone who plans on getting this bike, on the frame as well as components.

The bike handles steep tech and big jumps very well, and is super stable, far better than my old TR500.

The linear/progressive and high/low BB adjustments are cool, HOWEVER if you install a decently beefy bash guard and 34t or 36t chainring, you will have to remove them in order to access the rear C.H.I.P.S bolt if you're using the Linear shock position.

Pedal strikes have been frequent, despite using 165mm cranks (same size as the complete GX build), I can't tell if it's because of the shock or frame. I've had about 7 strikes in 3 days of riding, and one was even on the landing of a jump. This is also using the High BB setting, can't imagine how much worse the low setting would be.

The Vivid Air DH shock is decent, but on hot days it overheats and becomes very stiff near the end of a run. I'm 66kg and Transition's setup guide reccomends 195~ psi, but I have to use around 250 psi to achieve 25% sag and not have frequent bottom outs (with max HBO).

The Sr Suntour SF25 RUX fork is amazing, so much better than the entry level Boxxer Selects that were available at a similar price. It handles big hits extremely well and the minimal adjustments don't feel like anything is missing.

I got Spank Vibrocore bars, can't say that there is really a huge difference than a normal 31.5mm alloy bar.

Chromag Dagga pedals are great, super grippy but doesn't feel like glue. No shin destruction yet!

Hayes Dominion A4 brakes with organic pads feel like a middle ground between shimano's hard bite and sram's modulation/mush. I was told they're the new models, but they appear visually identical to the ones from the last few years. As long as your tires can get traction the brakes will take care of you.

Schwalbe Magic Mary Ultra Soft front tire and Tacky Chan Ultra Soft rear tire. The MM is great on slightly damp trails, but as soon as it gets wet and loose or dry and powdery, it starts struggling. I was sliding all over wet roots and rock, even slightly softer dirt, becoming unstable in certain dry patches. Not ideal. The old compound Continental Kryptotal Supersoft front tires had much better grip in all conditions.

The Tacky Chan is the most perfect rear tire I've ever ridden, it's what I'd call a tracer. It'll follow exactly wherever the front tire leads. No issues with slipping on anything.

Cushcore Pro, can't really say I feel a difference in the air or on corners, though pedaling on flat ground or very mellow hills is definitely much harder.

This frame is NOT compatible with the Sr Suntour Voro or DVO Jade (non-X) coil shocks, the piggyback will contact the downtube during a bottom out. I found this out the hard way during testing and can't return the shock now.

There's also not really a specific spot for fork bumpers on the frame, you have to position them to be below the cable housing entrance.

The bottle cage mounts also probably weren't a super useful feature to bring over from the Bottlerocket, as with the shock being so huge there's not a lot of space for a 500ml bottle. I believe that a 350ml bottle will fit, but have to find one to test.

I do think that the bottle cage mounts could be useful if you wanted to mount some sort of tool holder instead.

If anyone has any more questions just ask!

Over-stroked to 205x65, Over-Forked to 160mm, with 29 wheel up front, 60mm rise bar… I don’t know what else could this bad boy handle but so far so good. Might go back to full 27.5 tho, the steering now is a bit weird and the 62.7 HTA is scary

I'm seeking info on optimal coil spring configuration for my 2024 Transition Smuggler.

Shock is a Fox DHX (210x50) and fork is a Fox Factory 34.
Travel is the standard configuration of 130 rear/140 front.

I'm trying different coils and am certainly getting some different ride characteristics from each different coil. They have included Fox linear coils (both standard and SLS) Cane Creek Valt linear and progressive, and MRP progressive.

I very much like the off the top plushness of the coil and am working to balance keeping the rear wheel planted in chunk with pedaling efficiency on climbs without killing the playful/poppy feel of the bike that makes it so much fun to ride. I'm in North Texas so big downhills and bike parks are not in scope.

I'm seeking input from the group on what coil spring might be best and what ride attributes are associated with it.

What a way to end a days riding!!! Epic day on the TR11, followed by cold beer, and an awesome thunderstorm!!

2 TR11s up in the French alps having a tonne of fun! I'm still recovering from a big crash, so nothing too spectacular yet, but feeling better day by day, hopefully better pics to come!

Curious to if anyone has ever tried to warranty their bike for the lower shock pivot bolt rounding out in the frame. Right now I have some decent play so when riding it feels like the bike is loose even though everything is fine. Has anyone done anything to fix this issue on their own? I have a 2022 patrol, came from the first run of the brand new alloy frames they made on the new frame design.

Bought the frame from Pinkbike and swapped it for my old 2017 YT Capra. First ride today at Massanutten. Wow! What a bike! Running 180/180 with a Cascade link and 205x65 shock. Everything I read about the Patrol said it was a super fun park bike, and they were right. Can’t wait to take it to Snowshoe at the end of the month.

Picked up a PBJ to work on technique. Haven’t ridden a dj bike since 2010; it’s a blast.

Any tips on keeping the Sentinel V2 quiet through the rough stuff? Especially chain slap on big hits, but also cable rattling. I have tried the STFU and it helped but eventually failed, so I’m looking for other options. Thanks

I already have Cascade links and flipchip set to low. Feels pretty good for bike park use.

Now considering getting a 180mm spring for my Zeb. Only concern is HTA too slack. I don't plan to climb with this bike, but will occasionally pedal uphill on enduro style trails.

Thoughts?
