Transition Bikes announce new 29er bike with revamped 2018 range

· By Press Office · 0 comments

As a rider owned company, we obsess about making and riding bikes that make us better riders and allow us to have more fun on the trail. The entirely redesigned GiddyUp trail bike lineup isn’t about just adding a couple new bike industry standards like boost and metric shocks, it’s about taking a holistic approach to creating a bike that changes the way riders connect with their bike.

Our new 2018 bikes started with a clean slate and new approach to bike geometry we call SBG (Speed Balanced Geometry) that puts the rider in a more balanced position on the bike which improves traction and control at all speeds. Our main focus with the updates was to maintain the ride feel of each model while simultaneously pressing the enhance button a few times.

In addition to integrating our SBG system on all existing models, we’ve added the Sentinel to our lineup. The Sentinel fit’s nicely between the Scout and Patrol in travel range, and is capable of being used in the same manner of both bikes depending on your preference for travel and wheelsize. The Patrol, Scout, and Smuggler feature increased travel, optimized pedaling performance, additional size options, and a ton of new features to create our most capable lineup to date.

A variety of RockShox and Fox fork models featuring SBG offsets will be available for purchase with SBG framesets.
