Transition news

News from Transition bikes over in Canada... check them out at www.transitionbikes.com



Riding season is in full swing right now and we are crazy busy riding and bringing you new products. Here is the latest.

New Siren Prototype

We are now riding the new girls freeride bike called the Siren. The bike is a 6" travel freeride frame designed for women. We took input from over 30 female riders to design a bike specifically for them. The frame has ultra low standover. We have girls that are 5'0" and still have great standover on the frame and love it. The frame also is very light for girls to throw around with a lower center of gravity and short stays so the ladies can pull the front end up easily. Production bikes should be available Dec/Jan.

New Clothing
We got 4 new t-shirt designs ready to go. We will also be working on a new jersey and long sleeve T in the next month.

New BottleRockets Here
We got the new production run of BottleRockets in with the new colors White, Raw or Baby blue. The frame remains unchanged for the upcoming year. Why mess with perfection?

New Sprocket

Kyle just finished up his design of a new 28 tooth sprocket and we now have them available for purchase in 5 colors (black, gold, green, red, blue).

New Chainguide
Kyle also just finished up his design of our new single-ring chainguide. The chainguide works with 32-36 tooth chainrings and is available in our standard 5 color palette (black, gold, green, red, blue). We'll have pictures of the guide on our website in the next couple days so stay tuned.

New Colors and Decals

Heads up for the upcoming year. All of our bikes will be coming with new decals kits so you guys can customize your bikes however you want. Each frame will come with a decal kit that features 4 different colors of decals to decorate your bike. Currently we only have new BottleRockets with the new colors and the rest of our frames with new colors will trickle in throughout the winter and early spring when we do new production runs.

Blindside Production Frames

The new 8" travel Blindside frames will be here around September 12th and ready for purchase.

Transition Sponsors Drop In Season 5

We are proud sponsors of Season 5 of Drop In hosted by our very own Dylan Tremblay. This year the Dirtbag crew will be heading down the west coast of the US on some of our home trails. Look for other factory riders like Mike Metzger, Andy Grant and Zach Hensley to make guest appearences on selected episodes.

Cheers,
