The new Blindside is taking over the top spot in the Transition Bikes lineup as our largest travel bike. Designed to be quick and easy to throw around with just the right amount of travel. The bike is extremely versatile with DH friendly geometry like a lower bottom bracket and slack headtube for railing corners at high speed. We also desinged this bike to shine in freeride environments like Whistler where you need a bike that can handle any situation. From steep technical rocky sections to massive drops and jumps, the Blindside can do it all.

Sick Lines Reviews the Blindside
 "The Blindside handled cornering like a champ and pumps terrain quite well. It has a predictable and connected feeling that often isn’t found when riding a new bike."
