2016 Transition Patrol Carbon (MEDIUM)

THIS FRAME IS BRAND NEW WITH FULL WARRANTY CHEAPEST IN THE UK!!!!

The Patrol gives you the control of a downhill bike perfectly balanced with a lively and jumpy personality for a comfortable, efficient and fun ride in almost any trail condition. The Patrol is long and low with a slack 65 degree head angle and big wheelbase for tremendous stability in rowdy terrain. But don’t let the numbers fool you; the short 430mm chainstay and 155mm of active and carefully tuned suspension keep you in touch with the ground and ready to respond at a moment’s notice. With the Patrol you get big mountain confidence with trail bike agility in the same machine.
Transition Ride Impressions

We wanted to push some very aggressive geometry numbers without creating a bike that rode heavy and sluggish on the trail. The Patrol geometry is similar to some of the new 160mm+ bikes on the market, but with 155mm of rear travel it won’t feel out of reach for someone that was considering a bike in the 150mm category. In his European race experiences, Lars felt that travel quantity was not holding him back and that less could actually be more, as long as it was correctly tuned. A shorter travel bike can help make up some more time in the pedaling sections and maintain more agility and awareness of the trail. We think we have nailed it on this bike. The Patrol works with you depending on the trail conditions and how you are choosing lines. The bike rides very lively on the trail with great support in berms and poppy reaction on jumps and small features. But the bike’s stiff chassis, slack head angle and long wheelbase give you a ton of confidence in rough sections and steep terrain. Everything you would want in a long travel trail bike.
