Its not all about weight either, with burlier components where you'd want them." - Cooper Quinn / Click here for the full review Its got cute dampers, but they work well with the weight and layup of the bike.
Its not an overly stiff bike, but its not unsettling, and sometimes feels like traction. The geometry, layup, and components all work together. This really is a well rounded bike with no characteristics that are outliers. It's lightning quick, lures you right into the middle of a tornado of action, yet always spits you out with a sunshine-after-the-storm calmness." - Mountain Bike Rider Magazine Click here for the full review "Transition's Spur X01 is the best realised 'down-country' bike we've ever tested.
" - BETA Online Magazine Click here for the full review Transition dubbed it ‘All-Country,’ but it could be considered the epitome of a modern trail bike-equally suited for big days in the backcountry or lunch rips on the home trails. It’s light (our X01 build has a reported weight of just a tick over 25 pounds), a rocketship on climbs, but doesn’t feel overwhelmed when pointed downhill.

Anti-squat is tuned to enhance pedaling performance and acceleration but doesn't get in the way of the suspension working when it's needed.

We want to make it as easy as possible to experience great rear suspension performance. 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.Ĭheck Out Our Sizing Guide Understanding Effective Seat Tube Angle One of SBG's greatest benefits is that it creates a confident steering feel that adapts to wheel speed.
