Shop all Transition Shop sale TransitionWith the advent of slack 29ers like the Transition Smuggler 4 Complete Mountain Bike, we think it's safe to say that these big-wheeled trail terrors are here to stay. Combining the benefits of its larger 29" wheels (i.e. smoother rollover, better traction and improved efficiency per stroke) with an efficient and versatile SRAM NX 1x11 drivetrain and suspended by Transitions award winning Giddy Up suspension system, the Transition Smuggler 4 Bike achieves a ride that gallops on the way up and hauls ass on the way down. Worried about the Smuggler's reduced travel? Rest assured the monster truck-like wheels more than make up for it -- this pedal pony is a true trail talent.

Giddy Up Suspension System – When Transition set out to design the new family of trail bikes, they wanted to improve their suspension bike pedaling performance, but didn't want to lose the neutral and comfortable feel that Transition Bikes are known for. No one at Transition wanted a suspension system that felt like it was locking out, or provided any "kick back" in the pedals. Their Giddy Up link is specifically tuned 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, the new models have a notable increase in traction when climbing, without the rider noticing the chain growth fighting the suspension movement. The ride feel of Giddy Up Link bikes will be familiar for any previous Transition rider, but with a big improvement in suspension performance. Their new models are designed to be active while climbing; increased compression damping or rear shock platforms are not required with the Giddy Up link. The suspension remains free to smooth out the trail, improve traction and control without sacrificing any efficiency. There is no need to think about flipping switches; start your ride with the shock open and leave it there. With Giddy Up you can focus on the trail, not your remotes, levers or knobs. Just grab your bike, Giddy Up and go.
