Hightower vs. Sentinel. How do these version 2.0's stack up against each other? Hear my thoughts. Check out my Hightower long-term review here: • V2 Santa Cruz Hightowe... FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM! / dr_j_mtb
Nice comparison. Just wanted to say thank you for the video about the new debonair air spring swap. Your video helped me to upgrade the air spring and swap my rct3 to a new fork. 👍Thanks man.
Another great video! Thanks for cranking out these informative and well made vids for the MTB community. I got my 2020 HT last October and your video tutorials helped me to install a new air shaft and go up to 160mm. Got about 200 miles with that new travel so far. On your recommendation, I also bought the cascade components rocker link... i love it! Installed it last week and got in 3 rides so far. Best upgrade yet. Lastly, I was torn between buying a HT or Sentinal late last year and pulled the trigger on a HT. I’m stoked on my choice and glad I came across your channel, as it seems like all my bike dilemmas have been similar to yours. Thank you and Cheers... may you have many epic bike adventures in the future!
Sorry for the spotty audio and lack of on-bike video! I still hope that the info can be useful for anyone looking for info on which trail rig is for them! THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Just stumbled upon your awesome videos and just became a subscriber. It was a no brainer. lol Have a question. I am currently looking at getting a bike. I am on the fence as to buying a Hightower, Yeti sb150 or Evil the Wreckoning. Any experiences with Evil bikes and how does it compare to the other bikes I mentioned? Thank you in advance
Good job in this video. I can see in the video the sentinel is much slacker, but... The sentinel is a 4 bar linkage and my experience with those is they are great down hill but the climbing is super bobby (lockout a must). I've heard the transition sentinel feels a little dull and I'm impressed by your take on it. The sentinel is probably 80% downhill and 20-25% climbing. I personally between those two, I would go with a Ripmo, more capability than the Sentinel, climbs so much better, almost 150mm of travel and able to run a 200mm dropper. I also heard the sentinel has rattling in that cable when on chunky terrain. I like the silence the Santa Cruz bike have. With all that, I need to get on a sentinel ride to confirm what I've been told.
Transition might charge you for their pivot bearing rebuild kit but they also use high quality Enduromax bearing vs Santa Cruz which just use cheap Chinese bearings that don’t last long which is why they are free. I’d rather pay for high quality bearings that last long than get free bearings that you’ll have to replace often. BTW your cascade link also comes with Enduromax bearings
I didn't find the cascade link did anything magical on my megatower. Perhaps because my terrain is very natural, loose, and chunky. But there's so much you can do now with air shocks to tune them. Good riding Dr J.

Great comparison. Looking at the V2 Sentinel for our next bike.
Thank you - sharp rundown. Appreciated.
Great comparison!
I'm about to buy a Hightower 2021. But what does V2 (version 2) mean?
Thanks -this is excellent!

Really enjoying your videos. I have a feeling this channel is going places!
Hi, Are you using Meg Neg with Cascade link in HT V2? If using both how much you need put more preasure for the shock compering to stock set up?

Hi there, you mentioned about making the head tube steeper, can you share the component that able to do that? Thanks
Good Comparison!
