Product Info

Everyone and their mother is talking about enduro these days, but the true test of a mountain biker's skills is still the descent. As an ultimate downhill destroyer, the Transition TR500 2 Complete Mountain Bike barrels through steep rock gardens confidently, confidently sends big booters, and somehow remains incredibly quick and nimble through more technical sections too. With a slack overall geometry the TR500 2 is undoubtedly a DH bike by nature, but tune-friendly characteristics like the adjustable chainstay length, head angle, and bottom bracket height allows for extended versatility. Spec'd out with the plush, high travel RockShox BoXXer Team 27.5 fork, and the all-new Fox DHX2 rear shock, the Transition TR500 2 Complete Mountain Bike is a race-ready beast that'll devour anything in its path with powerful ease.

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Fox Racing Shox Factory DHX2Fox's most advanced coil shock design. Offers high- and low-speed compression and high- and low-speed rebound adjustment. Increased oil flow improves damping control and consistency. New SLS spring provides titanium weight savings at an affordable price.

Rod Valve System (RVS)Provides a more seamless damping transition when absorbing small to large impacts, resulting in faster system response, more control, and less harshness.

SLS SpringFox's Super Light Steel (SLS) springs are lighter than titanium at more affordable prices. A proprietary surface treatment and stress relief process removes residual stresses from the spring, allowing them to withstand higher stresses. Each spring is optimized by using a smaller wire diameter and less coils, creating a lighter spring.

Fork

RockShox Boxxer Team 27.5 ForkFor nearly two decades, BoXXer has been piloted to the top step of the podium at downhill World Cup races and freeride events more than any other fork. With such a legacy, it’s no doubt the new BoXXer has already proven itself with the World Cup overall victory and Rampage win in 2013. The new BoXXer features the new Charger Damper™, new air and coil spring systems, Rapid Recovery™ rebound, Fast Black stanchions and 27.5” options. And guess what: the lightest production downhill fork on the market is getting a whole lot lighter.

Charger Damper™Performance Focused: The efficiency circuits (pedal and lock) sit behind the performance damping, meaning no sacrifice in bump performance for shredding downhill while keeping the ability to maintain pedaling stability for those leg burning climbs. | Bladder Charged: Extruded bladder design is insanely durable, resists damping change during extended downhills and has virtually zero pressure offset for small bump sensitivity. | Trail Tuned: RCT3 features Open with an adjustable low speed compression.

Maxle Lite DHDesigned for the downhill crowd, this tooled version of our Maxle Lite is light and stiff and has loads of clearance.

Power Bulge™When you need your forearms to be stronger for more control, you bulk them up in the gym. When you need more durability from your fork, bulk them up with RockShox's Power Bulge. Power Bulge reinforces the lower leg to allow for an oversized bushing, increasing stiffness and maximizing your ride. Plus, it's called Power Bulge.

Rapid Recovery™Who doesn't want more available wheel travel for successive hits? The Rapid Recovery System allows the shock to recover faster between consecutive bumps, letting the wheel track the ground with greater precision. This more active suspension system doesn't pack up and enables the bike to ride in a higher and softer part of the spring rate. Rapid Recovery gives the rider access to more available wheel travel, bump after bump, to achieve a smoother and more controlled ride.
