Transition Patrol Alloy XT Mountain Bike 2021 Blueberry

The Pure Bred Party AnimalThe mixed wheel Transition Patrol Alloy XT Mountain Bike has a new haircut but is still down for anything and truly unapologetic when it comes to shredding trailBeing one of the longest standing bikes in our lineup, it was the obvious choice to mix it up.Updated geometry to accommodate the 29" front / 27.5" rear wheels and revised suspension tune might just make you ride all day, and then all night. Jibbing, jumping, pumping and hooting your way down the trail, the updated Patrol loves to party. From bike parks to your local trails, the Patrol isn't concerned with where you ride but rather how much fun you are having.Speed Balanced GeometrySBG 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 SUSPENSION DESIGNWe 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.With nearly 24% progression and the most current evolution of our GiddyUp suspension kinematic, the Patrol has an excellent balance of support and small bump sensitivity. Anti-squat is tuned to enhance pedaling performance and provides a platform to push against when pumping, without sacrificing a bottomless feel when needed.The GiddyUp suspension layout is tuned to work correctly with both air and coil rear shocks. 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. The Patrol has 160mm of rear wheel travel when used with the supplied 205mm x 60mm stroke shock. It is also possible to install a longer, 205mm x 65mm stroke shock to increase the rear wheel travel to 170mm if you are after a longer travel experience.A suggested sag range of 27 - 33% 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.Transition Patrol Alloy XT Mountain Bike FeaturesAll new alloy frame featuring SBG geometry with the latest Transition design language160mm travel front and rear (max rear 170mm)Mullet wheel set up – 29” front and 27.5” rearHigh and low geometry options via lower shock mount flip chipTwo chainstay lengths, short on S, M & L and long on XLNew oversized parallel headtube enabling the use of reach or angle adjustment headsetsFSA Headset included on frame only optionFrame compatible with 180mm dual crown forks and 27.5 front wheel for aggressive park use while retaining geometry.Two colours, Blueberry and RawFour sizes, S, M, L, XLThree groupset and frame only options
