Transition announce an all-new mountain bike the Spur

Transition Bikes has today announced an all-new bike to their product line-up. The spur is a short travel full suspension 29r mountain bike with 120mm travel both front and rear. 

Transition is calling this bike an “All-Country” bike. With the ability to tackle any off-road climb yet still capable to the shred the trails on the way back down. 

This new breed of “Down Country” bike joins the Cannondale Scalpel, Yeti SB115 as well as a few others.

 

The All-Country Bike

Effortlessly explore, seek, and pursue the mountain in ways you never imagined.

The Spur provides a sense of connection to the bike as if it were an extension to your body. Fast and efficient with an anti-gravity feel and laser-pointer precision that begs you to climb more, go farther, and descend anything you may encounter along the way. You’ll instantly appreciate the free speed you’re awarded while accelerating where you’re usually accustomed to pedaling. Don’t judge a book by its cover though, with all these lightweight and uphill oriented character traits the Spur requires no adjustment to descend like you’re used to, you might actually go faster.
