HAVE A GOOD TIME, ALL THE TIME

Transition Bikes has been building bikes and friendships in the mountain bike community for almost 20 years. And while it seems like yesterday we were shipping bikes out of Kevin's creepy basement, we are excited about where we have come and how we have grown as a company. We have always been about connecting with our customers and being an open and transparent company that welcomes all. We got into this for the friendships, the riding, and creating a unique place to work. Yeah, we're a little bigger now but the philosophy has never changed. We thank you for all the love and support we have gotten over the years and can't wait to see you on the trails. - Kevin Menard & Kyle Young (Owners).

BANDIT

Kids are progressing faster and younger than ever, so we designed the Bandit with geometry that provides stability and confidence, while being intuitive and easy to ride. With 20” wheels, a 100mm travel fork, and a carefully selected mix of youth-specific components, we've ensured that everything on this bike is tailored to give the rider a bike that truly fits their size, weight, and use.

  • Intuitive geometry helps young riders of all levels progress quickly and safely
  • Internal cable routing for the derailleur and brake
  • Youth specific components

PBJ

The all-new PBJ was redesigned from the ground up, now featuring an aluminum frame, new geometry and added features. The hydro-formed 6061 aluminum frame allowed us to build in the features that riders need for the level of riding today, unlocking extremely short chainstays and low standover height. The geometry and sizing has evolved to provide a quick and responsive feel, to help pump through corners and pull back off the steepest of lips.

  • The all-new new frame is made of hydro-formed 6061 aluminum, known for its high strength to weight ratio, and smooth look
  • Integrated chain tensioners make it easy to fine tune your chain tension and keep the rear wheel aligned in your frame
  • Internal or external cable routing allows you to have it your way

RIPCORD

The Ripcord has been taking kids to the next level for years, and this redesign will surely turn it up to 11. The Ripcord has evolved to share the best features of our adult bikes, utilizing our Giddy Up linkage design and vertical shock layout. With 130mm of travel, riders have more capability and forgiveness in bike parks and for sidewalk kickers alike.

  • GIDDYUP SUSPENSION
  • INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING FOR THE DROPPER, DERAILLEUR AND BRAKE
  • Kids will feel natural and confident with components designed for them

SENTINEL

The Sentinel rides the lines between planted bottomless sender and playful, poppy trail pony. This leaves it right in the sweet spot, as we like to call it. It's versatile attitude helps riders excel and push their limits, making it the one bike most will need. Its intuitive nature is easy to get acquainted with; you'll find yourself sending lines, jumps, and maneuvers you always felt were beyond your ability. Where before you went around, now you go over. Where you pushed up, now you pedal. Where you rolled, now you boost. It's time to Send-It-All.

  • To29" Wheels SM-XXL and mixed wheel compatible, dual 27.5 on XS
  • 160mm travel front, 150mm travel rear
  • B.O.O.M. Box in frame storage

SMUGGLER

With dual 29 inch wheels, 130mm rear and 140mm front travel, the Smuggler may just be the most versatile bike in our lineup. A highly progressive leverage curve and comfortable, confidence-inspiring geo make it eager to keep going mile after mile while remaining surefooted in even the most technical terrain. Sitting squarely between the Spur and Sentinel in travel, geometry, and capability, it shares qualities of both. Inspiring and rewarding to hammer on your favorite singletrack, while never holding you back when the trail gets steep, the Smuggler will make sure you enjoy it all.

  • Dual 29" Wheels, Clearance to run up to 2.4" tires.
  • 140mm Front and 130mm rear travel
  • 27% Shock Progression

SPIRE

The Spire blends DH bike capability with mid-travel efficiency in such a way it's almost two bikes in one. A delicately tuned pedaling and pumping platform, supple beginning stroke sensitivity and all the travel you could ask for makes for a mind bending ride. Happily climb up to your favorite challenging descent, then cruise on over to your local flow trail and you'll be rewarded on both ends of the spectrum. This multi-trick pony lives to push your limits.

  • Giddyup Suspension Design
  • 170mm Rear and Front Travel

SPUR

The Spur provides a sense of connection to the trail as if it were an extension of your own body. Allowing you to be fast and efficient with an anti-gravity feel and laser-pointer precision. It begs you to climb more, go farther, and descend anything you may encounter along the way. You're rewarded with free speed as every pump and pedal stroke propels you forward while our SBG Geometry makes sure you're composed for every root, rock or switchback. Don't judge a book by its cover though, with all these lightweight and uphill oriented character traits the Spur requires no adjustment to descend like you're used to, you might actually go faster.

REGULATOR CX

The Regulator CX is an all-mountain workhorse designed to provide a nimble and responsive ride with big power. No trail is too tame or gnarly for the dedicated mixed-wheel platform with 150/160mm travel and geometry that promotes agility and playfulness. The Regulator will be the choice for riders looking for a chassis that excels in a variety of terrain with the added assistance of a Bosch Performance CX drive unit. Known for its legendary reliability, the CX drive unit delivers 85Nm of torque for a powerful and natural ride feel. Enclosed in the downtube is a 600Wh battery to power big rides while remaining sleek and lightweight for the category.
