Plug Into The Vibe
Up, down, all around. The Repeater loves it all.
Buckle up and get ready to charge, the Repeater is down for anything. With 160mm travel, 29 inch wheels, the Shimano EP8 motor system, and a 630w battery, you can maximize fun on the ups and the downs. Whether it's a quick rip after work, ditching the shuttle truck, or just the pure joy of exploring that you are after, the Repeater loves it all. Like all of our other beloved bikes, the Repeater has SBG geometry and our GiddyUp suspension, so you'll feel right at home the moment you turn on the power.

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.

FRAME FEATURES
1. Lifetime Warranty
At Transition Bikes we take pride in the quality of our products and are stoked to offer a lifetime carbon frameset warranty for the original owner as well as our stellar crash replacement program. We got your back so you don't have to worry about your bike.
Shimano STEPS system covered by Shimano warranty.
2. All Carbon Frameset
The Repeater frame is made from premium Japanese Toray carbon fiber. The lightweight one piece rocker is made from 100% carbon fiber and the full carbon frame construction reduces aluminum inserts to save weight and maximize strength.
3. Pivot Technology
Collet main pivot technology improves rear end stiffness and keeps your pivot hardware tight. Additional bearing shields prevent bearing contamination when washing your bike or riding in wet conditions.
4. Frame & Motor Protection
We keep your bike rides quiet and your frame safe from damage with fully integrated, flush-mounted rubber chainstay and seatstay protection. The custom low profile plastic skid plate protects your motor and helps you slide over rocks and logs in the trail without damaging your motor.
5. Removable Battery
The Repeater uses a Shimano 630Wh internal battery that is easily removed with a single 4mm allen wrench. The full carbon battery cover is lightweight, durable, and painted to match the frame.
6. Enduro MAX Bearings
We exclusively use Enduro MAX suspension specific bearings in standard sizes that are readily available worldwide. Dual bearings are used at the dropout pivots for frame stiffness and additional c-clips lock the rocker bearings in place under torsional loads.
7. Gear Accessory Mount
Our underside top-tube accessory mount allows you to carry a spare tube or other goodies safely on your frame in case you are looking to ditch the backpack.
8. Hidden Cable Routing
All cables and wires are routed internally and pass from the front triangle to the rear triangle hidden from view and safely away from trailside obstacles.
9. Water Bottle Compatibility
We keep your water bottle clean inside the front triangle so you can keep hydrated without worrying about mud making it to your mouth.
10. Universal Derailleur Hanger
The Repeater features a SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger that protects your derailleur by pivoting back and out of the way under impacts. It improves shifting performance, guarantees better alignment, works with all drivetrains, and is available anywhere.

GIDDYUP SUSPENSION DESIGN
We want to make it as easy as possible to experience great rear suspension performance. The GiddyUp suspension system is designed to behave intuitively across a broad range of setup. Because, we get it, sometimes you just want to grab your bike and GiddyUp, without checking your setup. When you do, it will always feel good.
The GiddyUp suspension layout provides 160mm of travel from a 205 x 65mm shock, and is tuned to work correctly with both air and coil. Riders are able to add or remove volume spacers in the rear air shock to suit their individual riding style and there is plenty of bottom out control with air or coil shocks when things get rowdy. Compared to our other GiddyUp bikes, the Repeater has a slightly lower leverage ratio to offset the added weight of the motor and battery, this allows you to run normal air pressures in the rear shock.
With nearly 26% progression and an E-bike specific version of our GiddyUp suspension kinematic, the Repeater has an excellent balance of support and small bump sensitivity. The Repeater suspension is tuned for maximum traction that enhances both descending and climbing experiences, while delivering a bottomless ride feel.
A suggested sag range of 28 - 34% allows the rider to tune the feel of the bike; from a firm and snappy jump and slash mode, to a more supple and active full on party mode. Wherever you end up, you can focus on the trail without remotes, levers or knobs. Just grab your bike and GiddyUp.
POWERED BY YOU, ASSISTED BY SHIMANO
The Repeater comes equipped with a Shimano EP8 system that delivers 85Nm of torque, 250W continuous power and 500W peak power. All build levels come with Shimano's top of the line full color display, making it easy to tell which mode you are in with a quick glance.
The Shimano 630Wh battery is easily removable with a 4mm allen wrench so you can easily swap to a spare for increased range, or get more laps while your other battery is charging. The full Shimano system means there are no custom wires, plugs or proprietary chargers, so you can find replacement parts anywhere and even borrow a charger from a friend.
The EP8 motor comes pre-tuned by Transition with two profiles to maximize battery life and give you the best ride experience possible. Profile 1 is focused on giving you a powerful but natural ride feel in TRAIL mode, leaving BOOST for when you really need it, and making ECO more usable on the trail. Profile 2 is focused on range, helping you go as far as possible when distance is what you're after. Riders can easily modify the characteristics of ECO, TRAIL, and BOOST modes in both profiles via the Shimano E-Tube app. The Shimano EP8 system was designed specifically for offroad use, offering seamless integration, plenty of power, and options to customize the feel of the motor based on your preferences.
"The Repeater continues Transition's legacy of developing well-rounded, capable and confidence-inspiring bikes. With balanced geometry that doesn't swing too far in any one direction, the Repeater is an excellent performer on any terrain. A stable and planted plowing machine on the descents and a billy goat on the climbs." - VitalMTB.com Click here for the full review
"As fun as it was to zip up a fire road and then dive into a steep descent over and over (and over) again aboard the Repeater, my favorite rides were more exploratory in nature, seeing where little-used moto trails took me, and getting into areas that were a little further off the beaten path. The Repeater's geometry works well for both styles of rides - it's slack enough to get rowdy, but it's not so slack that it feels sluggish on more rolling terrain." - Pinkbike.com Click here for the full review

FAQ'S
Yes, you can customize your motor settings via the app as well as update the firmware. You'll need to download the Shimano E-tube mobile app HERE.
No. Depending on where you've purchased your Repeater it will either have a max assist speed of 20mph or 25km/h. This setting cannot be modified by the user or a dealer.
Yes, you can purchase a spare battery kit with a spare downtube cover directly from Transition Bikes. Spare battery kits may not be available in all markets. You can also purchase a spare battery from Shimano, but it will not include a battery cover.
No. This will void your warranty with Shimano and cause damage to the motor system.
Yes! The Repeater was designed to work well with both modern coil and air shocks. All of the current offerings from Fox and RockShox are compatible. If you want to try something else, contact or customer support via email info@transitionbikes.com or give us a call at 360-366-4960 and dial extension 2 to confirm compatibility.
Firmware can be updated via the Shimano E-tube mobile app located HERE.
Contact an authorized Shimano STEPS dealer.
If you have not received an email confirming your tracking number you can find it by going to your "Order History" and viewing your closed invoice. Please follow this link for instructions on how to find your closed invoices.
We ask that you please check here for tracking as we are experiencing a higher than normal amount of calls and emails.
The Repeater uses Shimano's single tool battery removal system. Insert a 4mm allen wrench into the bolt at the top of the battery cover and gently rotate the wrench 90 degrees clockwise. If you feel any resistance, stop. You're likely either turning the wrong direction or have already rotated 90 degrees. Once released, the forward portion of the battery will drop 20mm, providing access to the latch release mechanism. Use your index finger to gently depress the spring which will fully release the battery. Use caution to support the battery when removing it so it does not fall to the ground.
Hold the upper button (down assistance level) for 1 second until the display turns blue and displays WALK mode. Press and hold the same button to power the rear wheel.
With the included EC-E6002 charger, a completely dead battery would charge to 100% in a little over 10 hours. Faster chargers are available from Shimano, but the overall battery capacity will degrade quicker with faster charging. As a result, your battery will need to be replaced sooner.
The remaining battery capacity is affected by temperature and cycle count. Generally, it decreases approximately 5% a year. This means roughly 95% capacity remains after 1 year, and 90% after 2 years.
Charge your battery to approximately 70% before storing for long periods of time. Store in a cool, indoor location with a stable temperature between approximately 10 - 20 C / 50 - 70 F. No direct exposure to sunlight or rain.
Yes, the STEPS system is waterproof as long as all components of the system, including the battery and battery cover, are installed correctly. We recommend not using a high-pressure washer to clean your Repeater, but riding in the rain and regular cleaning are okay.
First, make sure all cables are plugged in, if they are then try removing and reinstalling the battery. If it still won't turn on try charging your bike for a few hours. If your bike is too hot or too cold, it might not turn on. If your bike still does not turn on, contact a Transition or Shimano dealer for support.
No, simply charge the battery any time you need it, frequent charges actually help battery longevity. Avoid letting the battery discharge completely. Charge to 70% before storing for long periods.
Whenever you encounter an error code, first cycle the power off and then back on. If the code persists, remove the battery and then reinstall, which will hard reset the system. If neither of these steps resolves the issue, please reference THIS error code list. If you cannot resolve your error code via your Etube mobile app please visit your nearest Shimano STEPS dealer or contact Shimano STEPS customer support.
"An escalator can't break down, it can only become stairs" -Mitch Hedberg
There are many factors that affect battery range, such as, how much effort the rider is providing, the gradient of terrain, ambient temperature, and rider weight. The best way to maximize your range it to spend more time in Eco and Trail modes, and minimize the amount of time spent in Boost mode.
The maximum rear tire size we recommend is 2.6" but total clearance will vary with tire models and rim width.
The drive unit is sealed and cannot be serviced. If there are any issues with the drive unit, it will need to be removed and sent back to Shimano for service or replacement. The drive unit along with the battery is designed to last over 1000 charge cycles. Assuming you're getting 30 miles (48Km) per charge, the drive unit should last 30,000 miles, or much longer than pretty much any other part on your bike.
Depending on where you've purchased your Repeater it will either have a max assist speed of 20mph or 25km/h. This setting cannot be modified by the user or a dealer.
The battery life will be shorter during cold temperatures, this is not a sign of a problem.
Your Repeater was shipped in a "sleep" mode with the battery at approximately 30% charge. It is recommended to fully charge your battery before the first ride.
