There's certainly been an increase in the number of brands adding slopestyle-specific bikes to their range recently. This trend doesn't look to be slowing down, yet in recent years, one of the first brands to offer a slopestyle bike to consumers, Transition Bikes, pulled their model from the line. For all intents and purposes, it looked like Transition had fallen out of love with super-short travel rigs designed for sailing over jumps, instead diverting their energy to the trail and all-mountain sector. Little did we know that couldn't be further from the truth...
The Transition Bikes Triple Let's just touch on something about slopestyle bikes very quickly. They are unlike the vast majority of mountain bikes out there, which most of us can sling a leg over and go for a ride on - perhaps not to their fullest, but we can get down a trail or two. Slopestyle bikes, however, are a completely different breed, but be that as it may, put your hands up if you've always wanted one? While not that many of us ride 'slopestyle', who wouldn't love one of these in their collection for a casual rip around the pump track, BMX track, dirt jump sessions or what about some slalom racing action as well?
MENTIONS: @TransitionBikeCompany
Don't forget N + 1 ! (N = bikes you already have)
I have to really admire their entrepreneurial spirit as well. Didn't these guys start out doing this company part time while selling cell phones or something? Going from a tiny startup to industry players in such a short time frame is a pretty monumental feat, no matter what industry you're in.
