call me old fashioned, but i'm more of a Articulated Suspension System man

fr3er1d3r (Dec 21, 2015 at 11:13)

Same, but I'm happy to have both as well. It's about 60-40 for me

I respect your opinions. I prefer the Bottom Out On Berm System myself.

Actually these work best, Direct Impact Critical Kinetic Suspension.....wait, what?

shrockie (Dec 21, 2015 at 13:21)

Why choose between Articulated Suspension System and Tubes In Tubes systems, when you can have both? they're not mutually exclusive technologies.

fr3er1d3r (Dec 21, 2015 at 13:32)

Exactly. Why not both? And ideally in a package that isn't too heavy or hard on the wallet. But you can only ask so much.

Trust me,next year you will get the new Sram Highly Innovative Transmission available with this bike. Prototyping now.

Forget suspension! I'm just loving those T.I.T.S!

fecalmaster (Dec 22, 2015 at 15:47)

If it looks like a kona and smells like a trek than you might be a redneck. Evidentally my last kona did NOT have huck to flat technology!

labrinsky (Dec 22, 2015 at 16:51)

@nozes it made it to the testing stage but the project was killed because it stunk

jervis FL (Dec 22, 2015 at 18:31)

Haha neither did my last Kona! This Patrol is sick!

I don't understand why more companies don't use the t.i.t.s. system. My brother's reign was a pain and took ages to route

Every bike should come with T.I.T.S.

The 2016 Carbon Stumpjumper FSR does and I was really happy with that. Soooooo easy....

wolf-amongst-lambs (Dec 21, 2015 at 19:25)

But everybody pissed and moaned about Cove's marketing... personally, I loved the Shocker, I wouldn't mind an STD, and how wouldnt want a Hummer? And wasn't there something about a 650BJ?

pm148 (Dec 21, 2015 at 20:11)

The difference between cove and this ad is that the name of the bike is still patrol, not std. When you say you own an std that's a lot different than owning a patrol, which happens to have T.I.T.S

wolf-amongst-lambs (Dec 21, 2015 at 20:33) (Below Threshold)

Please don't piss and moan

muyguapa (Dec 22, 2015 at 0:42)

It'd make it a lot easier if they (manufacturers) didn't even go the internal routing route.

fecalmaster (Dec 24, 2015 at 0:24)

Did somebody say 4 bar linkage. The new revolution is here, will you answer the call? I sure as hell won't.

jmusuperman FL (Dec 21, 2015 at 10:44)

Whatever happened to their Completely Optimized Carbon Kinetics and Basically Aligned Linear Leverage System technologies. C.O.C.K. and B.A.L.L.S. would work so well with T.I.T.S.

vhdh666 (Dec 21, 2015 at 12:18)

with a Very Agile Great Internal New Axle

lanka (Dec 21, 2015 at 14:29)

I just think that after playing with their C.O.C.K. and B.A.L.L.S. technologies for a few years, the company matured and upgraded to T.I.T.S. We could say they're about to hit a home run with this one.

joemoto FL (Dec 21, 2015 at 19:27)

I wish my bike had TITS

scottzg (Dec 21, 2015 at 20:21)

I don't think it's kosher to have COCKandBALLS and T.I.T.S. on the same bike.

vhdh666 (Dec 21, 2015 at 22:22)

not kosher but probably lot's of fun

It turns out they know how to make great riding (and near indestructible) bikes, too.

dcm6861 (Dec 21, 2015 at 14:01)

Too bad the frame price is $3199 USD... that's a bit insane if compared to similar frame designs.

RedBurn (Dec 21, 2015 at 15:10)

I clearly wanna buy this now

scottshaw (Dec 22, 2015 at 4:16)

I am no expert but that looks very like a Plush Upper Suspension System Yoke with a Two Wheel Activated Travel Systems there! 'Gratz to Patrol for making my day!

The huck at 1:06 could have been the only riding in the whole video and it still would've sold me on the bike. damn.

I just combusted a huge methane hard gas.

typx (Dec 21, 2015 at 16:29)

I bought a Kona Process and was pretty flabbergasted when the housing ACTUALLY ROUTED THROUGH THE FRAME without causing me frustration/tears. Kudos to any company that is down to earth enough to incorporate easy routing. Shame on a certain company who have had a Rocky relationship with this feature in their Mountain bikes.

freeinpg FL (Dec 21, 2015 at 10:27)

I'm glad they improved on my Covert Carbon, which had no TITS, as it was a pain in the ass the get the cables through. Transition rules!

@WAKIdesigns I guess you will be waiting 4 a long time

sdmgz (Dec 21, 2015 at 22:44)

Tubes In Tubes Systems are so great, I have 2! What Minimum Empathy Nodes don't understand is that all you gotta do to avoid sexist objectification in manufacturing is also give us some Downhill Issue Crown Knobs.

blazekelly FL (Dec 24, 2015 at 15:47)

And just when so many other companies start to move toward women riders, transition takes one giant leap backwards

preach (Dec 21, 2015 at 11:52)

Rakim on a bike commercial is just dopeness.

jrager (Dec 21, 2015 at 11:12)

Super awesome Edit and it was really cool to be able to see this bike perform! Some of these trails are our DH training trails and range from super rooty and techy steep to some big mountain climbs, this bike and Lars ruled them all!

cogsci (Dec 21, 2015 at 18:52)

3199?!?! Even an Ibis HD3 is 2800. What the hell Transition, you went from podunk alloy frames on the FSR linkage to near S-Work level prices.

kabanosipyvo (Dec 21, 2015 at 20:02)

^ this!

Link4130 (Dec 22, 2015 at 6:21)

agreed. $7k CAD for the mid range build...................no thanks.

cogsci (Dec 22, 2015 at 7:22)

I mean seriously, what cost do they think they are recouping with this price, not like they designed a new costly linkage system or carbon layup.

Link4130 (Dec 22, 2015 at 20:19)

We can all thank Santa Cruz for setting the benchmark for these hideous prices.

cogsci (Dec 24, 2015 at 10:01)

True they really upped the ante, and can't call themselves small scale boutique brand that needs to make up the difference anymore.

davidgilbert28 (Dec 21, 2015 at 20:42)

Are they marketing to Beavis and Butthead?

cyberbully (Dec 23, 2015 at 2:20)

Transition have smashed it again! The 2014 Carbon Covert was the stiffest enduro sled on the market and an indestructible park bike, but at less than100grams lighter than the alloy version it was hard for some to justify.
The Patrol is perfect… Threaded BB, Internal front and external rear routing, optimum geometry and tyre clearance. Some might argue that the shock is the weak point but who keeps a standard shock anyway?
I bought the 2016 Bronson CC a few months but only because I couldn't wait until Spring for a new ride. Patrol frame now pre-ordered…can't wait!

NWuntilirest (Dec 21, 2015 at 10:55)

@transitionbikes , slope bike soon?!

therealme528 (Dec 21, 2015 at 10:59)

yes! I'm in the market and I do not want to have to sell my transition dj if I can't get another transition.

taquitos (Dec 21, 2015 at 11:14)

And here I thought everyone was more interested in Dual Offset Ninja Geometry for enduro and such now

the-burd (Dec 21, 2015 at 16:13)

I love how they're satirizing specialized use of acronyms, even though they totally borrow all of their designs.

fooses (Dec 21, 2015 at 11:51)

You spelled Rakim wrong in the credits.

thebigschott (Dec 21, 2015 at 10:37)

Best marketing ever! I was cracking up even before I opened this page!

briceps (Dec 21, 2015 at 12:08)

As awesome as this advertising is riding the bike speaks for itself. How they made something so slack and modern be so playful is pure black magic.

ChachiArcola (Dec 21, 2015 at 14:12)

Man, I love Transition! They just don't give two f&#ks and I dig that! So much so, I've ordered a Patrol Carbon! The only bummer.....April 2016.

chyu (Dec 21, 2015 at 18:37)

So how many poor chinese gonna inhale carbon because of its production. Regards from Max Commencal.

Brahma (Dec 22, 2015 at 8:41)

This would be way better if we knew they could deliver the bike earlier than five months from now!

ey Transition bikes - if you are so keeping it real, by making funky advertising, why did you make "yet another 650B carbon trail bike"? And you even present it with ENVE wheelset, how cliche! Clicheee - E! - EEEE! You use carbon and you make symmetric stays, it is laughable. Congratulations you made another session looking bike:

S-E-S-S-I-O-N! an S and E and S another S and Oh and NNNNNNNN-nadaaaaa!

So... You see... You thought that you are going to satisfy Pinkbike audience with this joking aye? Team Robot sprinkled with a bit of Matt Denison. Let me get this straight: Do You have ANY idea who are you dealing with? Do you know what do we shout to N1no Shurter arriving to the top of a hammering climb, when he has over ONE minute of advantage over the rest of the field? - TRY HARDER!!!

Commercial made for kiddies who giggle at t.i.t.s., whereas the bike is affordable only to high-income adults (and their kid who giggle at t.i.t.s). I don't see that many people around "oh that commercial was funny here's 3500$ for a frame".
