The Weapon 10

How does the bike ride with the coil? Transition very much recommends not to run a coils since the suspension design is not progressive. I have heard you basically have to get a custom tuned coil shock (Push) for it to feel good and not blow through its travel.

I put about 100 miles on the Fox DPX2 before my Super Deluxe Coil came in, so I can safely say there is a very noticeable difference. The DPX2 felt good and was very playful but, I feel that the bike feels more planted with the coil. When riding through rock gardens, roots or chattery sections, the bumps felt more muted and my traction for braking seamed better. I didn't lock up the brakes like I did with the air shock. Haven't had much air time on the coil so I still need to get to a bike park to see how that goes. Overall, I'd bump up my rating of the bike a couple notches with the coil. I heard a rumor that the 2020 model will be spec'd with a coil, but your'e right, it is important to get one tuned for this bike and not just an off-the-shelf version.

Interested to know the weight? Cheers

I'm 204 lbs

I was actually wondering about the bike 🙂 I'm thinking it'll be quite light for a strong build?

Oh, right. The bike weighs in right at 30.0 lbs (on a bathroom scale)

Based on the setup I’d recommend XXL sentinel. Why compromise fit for carbon or wheelsize?

I rode both bikes, liked the Patrol better. Felt more natural to my style and local trails. Sentinel is a sick bike as well.
