The Covert was designed for those that love to pedal and rail long singletrack rides. If you are worried about weight but love to ride trails aggressively, the Covert gives you the best of both worlds without the weight penalty. The low slung frame and stiff rear end makes the bike snap around corners with the greatest of ease. The 5.5” of travel is plush enough for any rough trails and occasional jumps you come across but also allows the bike to pedal with the best of XC crowd.

Mountain Biking Magazine reviews the Covert
"After the first month in the saddle, I sent Kevin an email: I told him I wasn't sending his bike back and taking it from me would be like stealing a child from her father. Needless to say, I love the bike and have convinced Kevin to let her stay with me..."

Feed the Habit reviews the Covert
"I can comfortably add the Transition Covert to my list of the top all-mountain rides for 2008. The smooth suspension soaks up everything with seemingly-bottomless travel while still remaining efficient enough to pedal uphill with the best of them. Transition is a great, rider-owned company that will stand by their products 100%."
