Haven't ridden it either, but the XL Sentinel is much longer, slacker, and steeper (ST) than the XL Switchblade - and that's the biggest size Switchblade. So, again without riding it, I'm going to say they may occupy similar categories but they're going to have very different personalities if judging by geometry alone. I really liked the prior Switchblade but am not sure how it would have been on the Shore. It was [very good in Georgia](https://nsmb.com/articles/tire-testing-georgia-maxxis/), though.
