Got my 23 Relay this weekend. XX AXS and holy cow, this thing is great.

I didn't like CODE brakes but with the HS2 rotors, they are better (probably end up with MTX pads at some point). The new close-to-bar setup looks slick. And the silver on the calipers is pretty!

New XX AXS Transmission is as good as I've heard. Don't love the new controller so I might go back to the prior one. I wish things like old chains worked.

The fazua motor is the right balance. Help but not cheating. Smooth and quiet. The controller for the fazua is crap. Not responsive and very cheap (look at reviews for that and Pivot Shuttle -everyone agrees). That's not Transition's fault.

Overall, love the bike. Full pics here: https://www.pinkbike.com/u/sandiegotrent/album/23-Transition-Relay-XX-AXS/

Can you comment on your range. How much elevation can you handle on a full charge?

100% depends on how much assist you are using vs how much you are contributing and also how much you weigh.

3400ft might use 80% battery if I am asking the bike is doing 2/3 of the work because I'm chasing hyperfit people on weaker Kenevo SLs and shuttling up a bike path at max speed.

4000ft another day might use 40% battery when I am doing 2/3 of the work because I'm chasing elite fitness people on analog bikes.

My kitted up weight is 190 with pack and armor.

The amount of tunability via your cellphone is absolutely HUGE and easy to do. You can adjust support curves and profiles on the fly. That is something not all motor systems do.

Combine it with the amazing Transition frame... tres bon

I'm super stoked on my Relay!

This!

Everyone wants to know range, just like every car I've ever owned... It depends on so many factors. I live in San Diego. Sea level sometimes, 6000' sometimes. 1 mile: 200' or 1 mile to 400'. I'm continually impressed that I can regularly do 14 miles/3000' with 50-60% battery left. Very little outside eco but I move back and forth between acoustic and E so trying not to get too lazy.

Essentially, the lower power with the lower battery gets close to the same elevation and distance as a full power. You have to work a little harder, but it's not underpowered like the first gen levo SL. The bike rides great. I sometimes have trouble choosing between this and my Hightower. Love them both.

Get one and ride your trails at your pace and effort and assistance level. That's the range.

Throwing this out there since we can't post it in the classifieds.

We have a Relay PNW GX Alloy at the shop we ordered for a customer who had to cancel the order.

They just went on sale this week at Transition for $5599. I can let ours go for $5199.

Local preferred but I can ship for $200.

We are a TR dealer. This is a new bike that will be sold with the full warranty.

I'm curious about a PWN build for some local "self shuttle" bike parks as well as if anyone has any experience with one of these at a lift access park without the battery. Seems like at ~40lbs w/o the battery the bike might workout for someone like me that has both types of parks locally, but does not really want a DH bike. Thanks.

A friend rode his at Whistler for 5 days with the battery removed and had a great time.

I've done both. It's flexible for that very purpose. Great bike overall.
