The overlay isn't perfect, but there are definitely differences between Tahnee's bike and the TR11 that Transition currently has for sale. Seat tube/bb junction is definitely different and the shock mount looks like it has moved forwards on the front triangle. 

Has anyone spent any time on the 2026 TR11? It's like a desert out there when it comes to reviews... Looking at the XL TR11 as an option to replace my R3 Session (mullet & -1° cups). Mostly riding steep, reasonably fast, technical shuttle trails.
I'm a bit under 6'2 so I'm kinda in between sizes. I've bounced around on a couple larges and they felt way too small, so thinking XL with the short cups and slack setting
Anyone have any experience with this bike?
There's not alot as official reviews, but there some pretty good info here. This will most definitely be my next downhill bike when my Supreme v4's frame cracks.
I've noticed alot of bike companies are releasing new bikes and not doing big press camps on them anymore. I believe its just based on the money in the industry right now.
Thanks! Hilarious that pretty much the only real world discussion on this bike is buried deep in a thread about whistler bike park!
I had the opportunity to ride the new TR11 (size XL) for a day at Angel Fire this summer. Loved it! Had a similar ride feel to my old Spire, but with more travel. I didn't mess with the CHIPS and SALSA features.
I will likely grab a used one before next park season.
So I did a run today on a large in the stock reach with +5mm chainstay chips and the low & linear setting. It was too small for me for sure, but I could tell it's a pretty dialed bike. Nice neutral riding position, high stack, and smooth, fluttery suspension were my main take aways. It's intuitive to ride and definitely felt like it could snap around if needed it to. Reminded me a bit of the supreme v5 in the high linear setting, but with a slacker HTA (which felt too steep on the supreme for our local trails in my opinion). It didn't feel dissimilar to my Trek session, but perhaps a bit more composed with the high stack and slightly longer rear end.
I'd go for an XL personally and run some stiffer pressure in the suspension, but it's definitely a capable DH rig.
