Best New All Mountain bike 2025 | Transition Sentinel v Santa Cruz Bronson v Specialized Stumpjumper

[@NICADV]

I have a long term review up for the Transition Sentinel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3nKmHZomNh6qdEsi=lpPk2xPZb2qVT036

[@seanblucher3127]

Any chance you'll run a comparison between the new Bronson and Hightower?

[@NICADV]

@@seanblucher3127 yup, I’m actually picking that bike up this weekend!

[@lando4823]

A compareson between the Altitude, Megatower/Nomad and the Dradnought would be anwesome.

[@NICADV]

That is definitely on the way!

[@DB-sd3cw]

Santa cruz needs to be boycotted until they start upping their value. Base suspension and sram nx on 5k bikes is insane

[@NICADV]

I agree, but they aren't the only culprits. I'm more disappointed with Sram claiming that NX and SX work.

[@pgson8929]

Love the footage. Makes me trust your opinion. Well done

[@NICADV]

Thank you. I love seeing what these bikes can handle as well as looking for new features to conquer.

[@cberg9480]

Nice video. I have the previous version Bronson and my buddy has the previous transition. I think your comparisons are spot on

[@NICADV]

Thanks!

[@JasonChambersPhoto]

Great video buddy, the Ohlins Stumpjumper would be an interesting ride considering the genie shock is the main selling point.

[@NICADV]

Yeah, I kinda want to check one out. I know a lot of my riding is on the edge of what this bike maybe capable of, but I definitely would not want the pro build for any Whistler laps.

[@davidswankier7839]

Can you compare the nomad and the Bronson? Curious to know how close the Bronson is to the nomad now.

[@NICADV]

I'm working on that video now!

[@xiaolongwang6583]

@@NICADV and it will be nice if you cover the new vpp on Bronson compares to the nomad. Like the new design vs the extra travel on the nomad. I own the V6 nomad now, still loving it, but will be nice to know how that new vpp feels in the real world ;)

[@NICADV]

@@xiaolongwang6583 I'll do my best to cover it, but I do still really like my Nomad.

[@xiaolongwang6583]

@@NICADV oh yeah, definitely my favorite bike to date, and I owned a few bikes before ;). Hard to think what they can improve from this awesome rig.

[@stephaneherondelle8188]

Great review and great comparison ! So basically the new Bronson has became the Nomad with a little bit less travel, the Spectral seems the more "trail" oriented and the Sentinel seems the more all rounder and the more balanced.

[@NICADV]

For sure, but I would add for how well they all climb, I really enjoy the capability on the downhill.

[@grantwilliams2912]

Great film.. 🙂👍

[@NICADV]

Thanks!

[@888BRAK]

Adding a SLAH G5 would benefit this video to compare 19-23 bikes to 25 bikes. Good job 🥇 Consequently Today's trail is yesterday's enduro bikes. You will be amazed when you compare the GEO of the new Stumpy 15 or Fuel EX G6 with the SLASH G5 (mino in HI) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@NICADV]

The Trek Slash? Funny enough, it made an appearance in parts with the Sentinel. What wasn't visible is the ride started with two Slash gen 5 bikes, and one did not fair well off the cannon drop at 11:37

The bronson seems to be really close to the nomad. It will be interesting to see the bronson compared to some enduro bikes, the propain tyee comes to mind. Great video!

[@NICADV]

Thanks! I still have not thrown a leg over the Tyee, but I will definitely be comparing it to some other enduro bikes.

[@oliverkrieger-fritsch4726]

Santa Cruz nomad vs the dreadnought is compelling to me. I have a Nomad but am high pivot curious. I ride steep rocky and loam trails. What do you think Nic?

[@NICADV]

I've been really impressed with the Dreadnought. I want to get a bit more time on it before I give a verdict, but it's the best climbing high pivot I've tried.

[@jmac618]

Thanks 🤙

[@barrakingbeatz7794]

I’m on a Gt force and love it for holding speed but it peddles like a dh bike haha. I’m looking for a new enduro that peddles better!!!! Maybe a giant reign or something with a good peddling platform.

[@NICADV]

Dreadnought pedals really well as does the Nomad.

[@jasonpatrickdeleon4701]

Can you review Dartmoor Rocbird thanks Greetings from Philippines

[@DB-sd3cw]

😂😂😂

[@NICADV]

Thanks for watching from the Philippines. I've run into a number of riders from there in Whistler. Wow, that is a brand I haven't heard of in a while. I'll have to see what their US distribution looks like.
