The existing Patrol, Scout and Smuggler full-suspension bikes have been given new DNA, while the new 29er Sentinel gets the fresh DNA right from the start: the Transition features the "Speed Balanced Geometry" - SBG for short - on a wide fornt, while the "Giddy Up 2. Ohh" rear suspension is intended to provide sensitive suspension travel.

With the SBG, the top tubes and the reach have been stretched, the stems are around 40 millimetres longer, which means you sit a little more stretched out on the new models. The seat angle is steeper by around one degree, which should have a positive effect on the central position on the bike and enable good climbing. The steering angle is around two degrees slacker, with around 65 degrees for good downhill performance. Suspension forks with reduced offset are an integral part of this geometry doctrine. This moves the center of the front wheel hub backwards or closer to the center of the bike, which should result in more traction on the front wheel and more control when steering.

And the new Sentinel: The newcomer rolls on 29er wheels and is equipped with 140 millimetres at the rear and designed for 160 mm forks at the front. This positions the Sentinel elegantly between the Scout and Patrol models.
