RIP Transition. Another formerly cool brand goes casual and succumbs to the E-Bike fallacy. And according to the review, the bike is not even that good. Also: What the fuck are those prices.

Transition usually knocks it out of the park but this is like a ground ball………

Looking forward to the day when mountain bike companies admit running cables through the headset bearings was laughably stupid and go back to cable routing that doesn't lock customers into proprietary headsets and higher maintenance costs. But unfortunately we probably have a rough few years ahead of us as companies try to push this bullshit. I thought Transition was better than that.

"Different flavors of the same rad entertainment." But it is NOT the same. Not even close.

Never got what mentality? That if a brand or company changes their ethos in one's mind eye that they should blindly continue to support? Having had 4 bikes from them spanning over the years, I have thoroughly enjoyed what they have produced. But a change like this, goes against my morals for bicycles in the mountains. Can't NOT mention the environmental disaster that is Lithium mining. Yes, I know some of the good folks that work there, but considering there are small companies that make their products in house, and are just as rad... Why wouldn't I try something else...

Well, as a "diehard" Transition fan, looks like I'll be on to new brands in the near future. Super bummed as I know many of the Transition crew. Didn't think this would happen, at least so soon. Also, from my experience in the environmental science world, MOST trails that are hard to get to on federal land are NON Motorized, which includes E-bikes. So, out to ride moto trails then? Lame. Many of my buddies are riding steel full squish brands built here in the US. I know where I will be looking to buy when it's time for another...

Unfortunate that mtb's are contributing towards this https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lithium-copper-mining-atacama-desert Sure for ol' folks, those with health issues, or commuters that replace their cars with a ebike makes sense. For the rest, just pedal your damn bike. Greed for "more laps in less time" not a great thing for our future generations.

I don't do those either, except maybe once a year, certainly not daily. Someone let me ride a Levo once and I see the appeal. It's the same appeal with way less balls as my KTM. I guess e-bikes are just neutered motorcycles.

I think this is a very cool bike with Geo that is spot on , especially for an E-bike. That said I hate what E-bikes represent. To me it is a cheat code that violates the unwritten ethos of MTB riders out in the wild grunting and improving their fitness in pursuit of a beautiful experience. Nothing pisses me off as a grind a climb and some E-biker buzzes by me like I am standing still. No skin off my nose, I get it. Probably envy on my part. But it still pisses me off. .If want to ride with...

I worried about that for you already when designing, prototyping and testing. The shock is actually a strut (a shock and structural element combined), it uses sliding bushings, just like in your fork to manage side loads. And of course the frame will be properly aligned.
