Transition Bikes

The Ripcord complete bike is a powerhouse of a kids bike with a ton of features and no need to upgrade anything on the bike. RockShox air suspension front and rear makes it super easy to set up and change as the rider grows. SRAM GX 1 x 10 drivetrain is simple and easy to use with only one trigger shifter and has a huge gear range of 11-36t on the cassette. Shimano hydraulic Deore disc brakes as effortless to use and have excellent lever reach adjustment for smaller hands. Tires are everything and we spare no expense to give the Ripcord the same Maxxis Minion tires that are spec'd on the Transition adult bikes for superior traction and braking.

The Patrol Carbon GX is Transition's most popular build level that gives you the best bang for your buck. Rear suspension is handled by the RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Select + that gives you the supple feel of coil and a lockout lever for on the fly adjustment. The popular RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork with the all new Charger 2.1 RC damper handles suspension duties up front and gives you low speed compression adjustment to fine tune the feel of the fork for any trail. Our favorite 4-piston Code R brakes with 200mm front rotor and 180mm rear rotor give you total control on even the longest descents. The drivetrain is a complete GX Eagle setup with massive 10-50 tooth gear range and durable alloy crankset. Top of the line Maxxis Minion 3C tires are mounted to Stan's Flow S1 wheelset, the benchmark for strength and value in the same package. The dropper post is the durable Bike Yoke Revive seatpost with a user friendly reset feature which ensures your bike can stay out of the shop and out on the trail.

The Smuggler is a mid travel 29er trail bike that defies categorization. It is our go-to bike for not only epic long distance rides but also rowdy local trails and our favorite jump lines. With 120mm rear travel and 140mm front, it can adapt in any direction to whatever the days ride throws at you. Super lightweight and playful, the Smuggler is one of the best pedaling bikes we make that also loves to monster truck through the rough stuff. When it comes time to get the wheels off the ground, it begs to get thrown around and launch off lips with little effort. For anyone that needs incredible versatility from their bike and loves to pedal, the Smuggler is designed to never disappoint.

The Transition Sentinel inspires confidence like you’re wearing full body armor. It’s forgiving do-it-all attitude truly blurs the lines between planted bottomless sender and playful poppy trail pony. Whether you’re chasing EWS dreams or just a weekend afternoon escape, it will bring out the best in you. So easy to get acquainted with you’ll find yourself sending lines, jumps and maneuvers you always felt were beyond your ability. Where before you went around, now you go over. Where you pushed up, now you pedal. Where you rolled, now you boost.

The Patrol is Transition's most popular model to date. After winning bike of the year in 2016 for Pinkbike and 2017 for VitalMTB, the Patrol has a pedigree that sets the bar for what a modern mountain bike should be. It doesn't curve to one side too far, instead, it truly does everything extremely well. A true big mountain rig that can hang at bike parks and DH tracks and then settle into an epic long death march into the backcountry. The Patrol simply won't flinch at any trail going up or down. It may have you scratch your head as to what it is truly designed to do but we would rather not over think it and just let the bike take you wherever you want to go.

The Scout will awaken your inner child. Manual here, scrub that, skid there, pedal up this. Freedom to boost everything in sight, overshoot every landing without a care, mixed with nose bonking and hooting your way down the trail. Sporty, but just as eager to tackle bigger terrain. The Scout's trail charisma is infectious and will cause you to look at your regular trails through a new perspective. Pedal up and repeat.
