For those prices they can keep those ugly Intense bikes.

 

Like that new Orbea a lot though.

[MarcBurger]

The Orbea is seriously hot, and their website for customisation is absolutely amazeballspants.

That is how I would want to buy a bike.

 

Pricing isn't bad either for a kitted carbon bike (the M10).

 

Have some fun:

I made myself a jade-green bike with orange decals

[NicoBoshoff]

Looking at that one for too long make me feel sea sick. 

You better be damn fast if you're going to ride a colorway like that

New Transition Sentinel.... looking like a longer travel beast. 150mm out back and 160 / 170 up front(?)

 

 

 

PB photographer Colin Meagher captured some spy shots of Transition's new Sentinel 29er trail bike at the NAEC enduro at Silver Mountain in Kellogg, Idaho. The Sentinel has an all-aluminum chassis that looks pretty slack in the steering department as 29ers go, and taking some ballpark measurements from the photos, the effective seat tube angle appears to be quite steep. "Effective" is the word, because the seat tube makes an S-turn to capture the rocker link pivot and to provide wheel clearance for the conventional Horst-Link four-bar suspension

That S-turn suggests that Transition has given the new Sentinel a generous amount of wheel travel (I'm guessing 150 millimeters). Speculation aside, the bike is obviously in the late production stages, so all will be revealed soon enough. With nearly every brand pushing big wheels at the moment, the Sentinel's appearance should not be a surprise, but for Transition fans, it may be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Well that makes my next bike buying decision a whole lot easier

Seriously wouldn't mind swapping this bike for my enduro 29er. A tranny scout would also be a welcome addition.

There. Fixed it.

Nope - and I have called the style police to come and take you away for "reprogramming" .

Looks like everyone is jumping on the long travel 29er band wagon Spaz started in 2013. Have they been sleeping...

Glad we agree pricing has nothing to do with it then since they both have the exact price range.

so according to the spam email from Olympic Cycles, you can now get this in SA
