Say no more. "Transition Patrol Alloy XT Complete Mountain Bike" says it all! We're not quite ready to call mountain biking solved, but this Patrol hints that day is getting closer than you may think. If there's something this beefy bike has overlooked, we're not seeing it: this is the bike that's stayed true to its fun-having goal while embracing the facts. The move to mixed-wheel sizing has only made the Patrol even more Patrolley. The smoother rollover and increased traction of the bigger front wheel serves up even more fun, confidence, and "did you see that" moments. This build features Fox Factory suspension and a full Shimano XT group, perfectly matched to this bike's purpose. We are surely living in the best of times.
GiddyUp 2.0HH Suspension – Building upon the success of Transition's original GiddyUp suspension design, the new GiddyUp 2.0HH system has been refined for the modern two-wheel cowboy delivering a slightly firmer feel for more efficient pedaling, as well as more progressive travel that provides that extra little bit of bottom-out support when needed.
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 an 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.
Fox Float X2 Factory Rear Shock – Combining ultra-plush coil-like comfort and incredible damping prowess with the light weight of an air spring and an unmatched level of tunability, the Float X2 brings new levels of control and performance to every terrain imaginable.
Shock Adjustments – 2-Position Open / Firm Lever / Low-Speed Compression / High-Speed Compression / Low-Speed Rebound / High-Speed Rebound / Air Spring Pressure
Dual Crown Fork Compatible – This frame is fully dual crown compatible, for those wanting to dip their toes into the DH world.
Geo Adjust Chip – Change the attitude of the bike with a simple flip of a chip. High and Low settings give you two very usable geo settings to suit your riding style: High is comparable to most other companies' low settings so there's a high shred warning in effect!
Gear Accessory Mount – An underside top-tube accessory mount allows you to carry a spare tube or other goodies safely on your frame.
Pivot Technology – Collet main pivot technology improves rear end stiffness and keeps hardware tight. Bearing shields prevent main pivot contamination from water.
Press In Headset – The ZS44/ZS56 press in headset fives you the freedom to use angle adjust headsets if you feel the need to make your bike a touch slacker or steeper.
Tire Clearance – Ample clearance for mud and tires up to 2.6" wide.
Size Specific Chainstays – The Patrol has two size specific chainstay lengths to provide balanced handling and rider weight distribution across the range of sizes.
Threaded Bottom Bracket – A standard 73mm threaded bottom bracket shell makes crankset maintenance hassle-free and prevents unwanted pressfit BB noises.
Badass Bearings – EnduroMAX suspension pivot specific bearings come in standard sizes that are readily available worldwide.
User Friendly Cable Routing – To simplify maintenance and keep your bike noise free, the rear derailleur cable is routed through guide tubes in the front triangle and chainstay.
Water Bottle Compatibility – Your water bottle is kept clean inside the front triangle so you can keep hydrated without worrying about mud making it to your mouth.
Universal Derailleur Hanger – SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger protects your derailleur against chain jams by pivoting back and out of the way, and slips slightly when encountering impacts. This improves shifting performance, guarantees better alignment, works with all drivetrains and is available anywhere.
