Transition Bikes

The Pure Bred Party Animal
The Patrol Coil never sleeps, is down for anything and truly unapologetic when it comes to shredding trail

Being our most versatile and popular bike in our lineup, it was a natural fit to make the Patrol party like a DH bike but still able to hammer out miles up and down. The custom-tuned coil rear shock provides a subtle feel off the top for incredible small bump sensitivity that you just have to ride to believe. From bike parks to your local trails, the Patrol isn't concerned with where you ride, only how much fun you are having.

Speed Balanced Geometry SBG ensures the bike maintains low speed agility, front wheel traction, and proper rider weight balance while actually increasing confidence in steep terrain and at high speeds. With SBG, a slacker head tube angle is combined with a all new reduced offset fork standard, preventing the front wheel from being too far in front of the rider. This improves front to rear weight distribution on the bike, which is often out of balance on long and slack bikes. One of SBG's greatest benefits is that it creates a confident steering feel that adapts to wheel speed. More stability when going fast, more agility on technical slow speed maneuvering as well as improved traction, control and confidence for any skill level of rider.

GIDDYUP 2.0HH SUSPENSION

Take our successful GiddyUp suspension system, add one part increased pedaling efficiency, two parts wider sag range, and three parts increased small bump sensitivity, and you get GiddyUp 2.0HH. Incredible pedaling performance balanced with a superb neutral, comfortable and fun feel that we're known for.

We specifically tuned the suspension with a moderate amount of chain growth which is highest at the sag point and decreasing deeper into the travel. Because of this finely tuned wheel path, there is a notable increase in traction when climbing, without the rider noticing the chain growth fighting the suspension movement.

GiddyUp 2.0HH is extremely easy to setup and it provides excellent support throughout the entire stroke of the shock so you can use all your travel without worrying about bottom out. Designed to be active while climbing, rear shock climbing platforms are not necessary. The suspension remains free to smooth out the trail, improve traction and control without sacrificing efficiency. With GiddyUp 2.0HH you can focus on the trail, no remotes, levers or knobs. Just grab your bike and GiddyUp.

"When it comes to the pure party animal then look no further than this beast, the latest generation 'Patrol' is carbon. Let's just say the near endless trail limits of the Patrol has slaughtered us all summer long, but guess what? We're battered and sore but we can't wipe the smile off our dial and we're drooling for more." - Revolution Magazine Click here for the full review

"The Patrol Carbon might not be the most supple bike on descents, but its long, slack geometry makes it a hard-charger. It's composed, supportive, playful, and it begs its pilots to push limits, both on the ground and in the air." - Bike Magazine Click here for the full review and video

"Vital MTB is stoked to give the new Transition Patrol the Shreddy Award for Bike of the Year. This refined, 27.5-inch-wheeled long-travel ripper has been recreated from head to toe, improving on an already amazing ride." - VitalMTB.com Click here to see Transition receive their award

"Following extensive back-to-back testing I can confidently say that Transition's SBG-equipped bikes will likely lead the next wave in the continued evolution of bicycle geometry. They provide such an intuitive and controlled experience that my riding game goes up a few notches. That's real progress. Looking the bike over, nearly every aspect of an already awesome frame has been updated, tweaked, or tuned for 2018. This is Transition 2.0, and it's awesome." - Brandon Turman Click here for the full review
