About Transition

Specification

Full suspension frames are great, they soak up the trail, taking out all the bumps so you can plough on. It's not always been the way though, and going back to the roots of cycling on a hardtail is not only the most fun you can have on two wheels, but you'll also notice your riding improving whilst your smile widens.

Sure full suspension bikes are great but there is nothing quite like the feel of riding a TransAM and being more connected to the trail. The TransAM has an aggressive feel that let's you attack the trail and easily choose your lines. The 26" wheels and tight wheelbase give the bike a playful feel that totally shreds up and down hills. Every mountain biker should have a steel hardtail trail bike in their quiver to remind them of where mountain biking came from.

Transition chose 4130 butted chromoly for this frame as it gives you unsurpassed trail feel. The ability to accelerate and pedal with the ultimate responsiveness while eating up the vibrations of rough trails is just one of the many reasons steel is Transition's only choice. Transition finish the frame off with a 44mm headtube so you can run tapered forks, a custom seat tube so you can run adjustable posts, new 12x142mm dropouts for a super stiff rear end and Transition's Electronic Deposit internal coating to protect the inside of the tubes from moisture. This is no ordinary steel frame.

 

Frame: Japanese Butted 4130 Cro-mo ED Treated for corrosion resistance, ISCG 05 mounts, 44mm Headtube and 2 year defect warranty, lifetime crash replacement.

Weight: 6.4 lbs / 2.9 kg (Medium Frame)

Colour: Transparent Red, Blue, Pewter

"Rider Owned For Life"... That statement is perhaps the most important thing you need to know about Transition bikes. They began a decade ago not because there was a lack of products on the market, but instead because founders and co-owners Kyle Young and Kevin Menard wanted to create a company that could be believed in, totally transparent and approachable, more like a close knit family than a soulless and aggressive corporate entity.
This ethos has shaped the way both the company and products have developed from the very beginning; devoid of superfluous marketing and unnecessary complication, each bike is designed to be absolutely fit for purpose above anything else, and whilst newer models have embraced hydroformed tubing and more complex frame shaping amongst other developments it never comes at the expense of strength or ride quality.

Browsing the Transition Website or reading their Blog is definitely recommended, aside from being entertaining, it will give you a better idea of what they are all about. It becomes immediately clear that the guys are passionate about building (and ultimately riding) great bikes and at the same time it looks like they have a hell of a lot of fun doing it. This enthusiasm flows into the final product, whilst close links with the end user gives the opportunity to react faster to prevailing trends and developments within the industry, thus allowing Transition to complete on a level playing field with the offerings from much larger and more established manufacturers.

We are able to source the entire Transition line-up (including accessories) in both frameset, complete or custom build format, whilst carrying the more popular products in stock. If you're considering one for your next bike (and why wouldn't you be) then give us a call on 0844 499 5656 to discuss your specific requirements.
