I went with a Sentinel, but I considered a few others. The main driver for the Sentinel compared to the SJ EVO, Ripmo, and others available at the time was the same reach angle and suspension performance. I had been told and read that the suspension performance of the Ripmo and SJ Evo felt more like a big trailbike than an enduro bike, that the Sentinel tracked better. I take a while to adjust to new bikes and found the transition to the Sentinel fairly simple.
If it had been available at the time, the new Enduro would have been another one I'd strongly have considered.
