The Patrol Alloy GX is the workhorse in the lineup focusing on performance and maximum durability. Transition tailored the build to give the rider the best possible brakes and suspension for the money in a value oriented package. Fox suspension heads up the build with the Factory DHX2 2-position rear shock that gives you four way adjustment and an on the fly lockout lever. Up front the Fox Float 36 Performance fork offers top of the line suspension feel with an easy to setup sweep lever for compression adjustment. Braking is handled by the market favorite four piston skid triggers from SRAM Code RSC with reach and contact adjust along with 200mm front and 180mm rear rotors. The drivetrain is a complete GX Eagle setup with a massive 10-50 tooth gear range and durable alloy crankset. Top of the line Maxxis Minion 3C tires are mounted to Stan's Flow S1 wheelset, the benchmark for strength and value in the same package. The dropper post is the durable Bike Yoke Revive seatpost with a user friendly reset feature which ensures your bike can stay out of the shop and out on the trail instead. Transition are now including tubeless valves and 6ozs of Stan's Sealant for easy tubeless setup from the start.
Speed Balanced Geometry
SBG ensures the bike maintains low speed agility, front wheel traction, and proper rider weight balance while actually increasing confidence in steep terrain and at high speeds. With SBG, a slacker head tube angle is combined with a all new reduced offset fork standard, preventing the front wheel from being too far in front of the rider. This improves front to rear weight distribution on the bike, which is often out of balance on long and slack bikes. One of SBG's greatest benefits is that it creates a confident steering feel that adapts to wheel speed. More stability when going fast, more agility on technical slow speed maneuvering as well as improved traction, control and confidence for any skill level of rider.
Giddyup 2.0hh Suspension
Take our successful giddyup suspension system, add one part increased pedaling efficiency, two parts wider sag range, and three parts increased small bump sensitivity, and you get giddyup 2.0hh. Incredible pedaling performance balanced with a superb neutral, comfortable and fun feel that we're known for.
We specifically tuned the suspension with a moderate amount of chain growth which is highest at the sag point and decreasing deeper into the travel. Because of this finely tuned wheel path, there is a notable increase in traction when climbing, without the rider noticing the chain growth fighting the suspension movement.
Giddyup 2.0hh is extremely easy to setup and it provides excellent support throughout the entire stroke of the shock so you can use all your travel without worrying about bottom out. Designed to be active while climbing, rear shock climbing platforms are not necessary. The suspension remains free to smooth out the trail, improve traction and control without sacrificing efficiency. With giddyup 2.0hh you can focus on the trail, no remotes, levers or knobs. Just grab your bike and giddyup.
