Asa Vermette Lands Massive 97ft Backflip at Red Bull Hardline BC
Just imagine being that awesome and fortunate, you win the world cup over all and then send a 97ft back flip for fun, and you're only 19 years in. What a path to be on!

Nice, these stems are correct dimensions, none of this crazy short and high stuff!

I’d love to see Bruno return and go straight back to the top, he’s a class act and a consummate racer

Oct 1, 2026Transition Bottlerocket custom build
£2,700 GBP2026 Transition Bottlerocket.
180 or 200mm of travel, 27.5 wheels front and rear, adjustable geo and suspension kinematic. Heavy duty bike park / freedride bike.
This is a custom build I assembled from some second hand parts and some new parts, built on to a new £2000 rrp frame (That RRP has now gone up to £2199!). The condition of the parts varies somewhat which I will try to accurately detail in the spec list below.
I've ridden it just 9 times, 13 hrs and as such the frame is in very close to new condition.
The parts specification is somewhat negotiable as I'd kinda like to hold on to the brakes and maybe the seat post.
Bare in mind the complete bike starts at £3699, or even £4199 according to Transition's own website.
Collection preferred.
Frame
2025/2026 Transition Bottlerocket - 13 hours ridden only, almost new condition apart from 2x paint damages (shown in photos)
Shock
Marzocchi Bomber Air (225x70mm) Stock with frame, gives 180mm travel at this stroke.
Fork
RockShock Zeb Ultimate with upgraded 190mm Debonair+ air spring, working perfectly but has seen some action with previous owner so a few scratches on the lowers here and there. Very slow oil leak around the rebound damper knob, probably needs a new crush washer or something.
Front Wheel
WTB i35 rim and generic hub. The wheel is true and the rim is in pretty good condition but the hub bearings are pretty worn, no major play but can hear it rumble. Not a serviceable hub unfortunately.
Rear Wheel
WTB i35 rim on a Superstar hub. This one isn’t very true and has significant wobble, you can't notice it whilst riding though. The hub however is in pretty good condition and is serviceable.
Tyres
Specialized Cannibal T9 Gravity. I bought these new for this build and 13 hours later they are still in very good condition. Good tyres, loads of grip, hard to puncture!
Brakes
Sram Maven Bronze. I bought these new for this build and am slight reluctant to sell them! If you don't like Maven’s we can negotiate!
Disc rotors
Cheap centerline imitations I bought new off eBay, they seem to work. 203mm front and rear
Handlebar
Specialized OE bar, 30mm of rise I think, 35mm clamping diameter. I think they're 780mm, I'll check.
Stem
The stem that came with the bar. 45mm I think, again I'll check.
Grips
Burgtec Ratboy grips, soft compound, ruined by BPW uplift straps! I probably have some others in better condition I could throw on for you.
Seatpost
200mm Pro Tharsis. This was second hand to me and has a bit of wear on the stanchion but seems to work ok so far. I could swap this out for a static post if you prefer not to have a dropper, reduce the cost a bit.
Dropper Lever
X-fusion. This is an old broken one I had laying around and I bodged with a long bolt that is too long and not held in properly. It's held up for 13 hours but isn't great honestly, it works but I expect the bolt will fall out at some point. A shorter bolt with a nut on the backside would be much better or just get a new lever.
Saddle
Fabric. Old but comfortable, some wear and tear.
Crankset
Sram GX dub 170mm. Secondhand, seen a lot of foot rub. Should probably polish them completely, might look cool. The preload ring has cracked and doesn’t really work though I was able to get them fitted without any play anyway.
Chainring
Sram, steel direct mount, 30t. I also have a 26t one if you're interested.
BottomBracket
Sram Dub. Pretty cooked to be honest, rumbles!
Cassette
Sram PG-1230 11-50t
Chain
Shimano XT, old but still less than 0.8 on the chain checker - life in it still.
Rear Derailleur
Sram NX
Shifter
Sram GX
Pedals
I didn't really have any I intended to sell with the bike but if you need some I can probably do some Burgtec plastic ones for £20 or so
