Product Info

Billed as "the mountain biker's e-bike," the Transition Relay PNW Alloy GX E-Mountain Bike is a huge step forward in bike technology. As an e-bike, it's a lightweight and nimble mid-power ripper, with the aggressive geo and excellent ride quality you'd expect from a Transition. But, when you take the battery out, you can still pedal it. Yeah, that's right, it really is two great bikes in one, convertible between lightweight eeb and traditional enduro bike. This PNW build is specced bigger and burlier than the regular version with 170mm of travel, a Fox DHX Coil Factory rear shock, and a mixed wheel setup. This one is meant to be ridden hard – go get some!

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Alloy Frame

Speed Balanced GeometrySBG 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 an 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.

Fox DHX Coil FactoryAnswering the prayers of riders seeking the ultimate in plush suspension, the new DHX brings coil-sprung, magic-carpet, trail smoothing performance in a wide range of configurations to the trails and beyond.

Shock AdjustmentsCoil Spring Preload / 2-Position Open/Firm Lever / Rebound / Compression

Chainring BashguardDesigned in-house, the forged spider bashguard keeps the chain, chainring, and frame safe from impacts.

UDHSRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger is available at almost every bike shop, should something go wrong.

Coil and Air Shock CompatibleWith 26% progression, the rear suspension is fully compatible with both air and coil shocks without worrying about harsh bottom out.

Cable RoutingFully internal cable routing is a breeze with easy access through the battery door, while ports in the headtube keep it quick and easy to work on the headset.

Long Dropper InsertionWith an uninterrupted seat tube, you are free to drop your post all the way to the collar, allowing for long droppers on every size.

Drive Unit / Battery

Fazua Ride 60 MotorThe lightweight 60Nm Fazua Ride60 drive unit weighs 4.3lb/1.96kg. The minimal drag and power to weight ratio provide the magic when not riding with power. As you begin to ride beyond the speed cutoff you're not penalized when continuing to push beyond the assistance like that of traditional eMTBs. The 430Wh battery, 60Nm torque, 250Wh continuous power, 450Wh peak power, and overall bike weight work harmoniously together. This all equates to an experience that exceeds what you might expect from its numbers.

Fazua Ride 60 BatteryThe 430Wh battery weighs 4.85lb/2.2kg. It is easily removable via the tool free battery door underneath the downtube. The battery is charged off the bike, which is a bonus for customers with challenging bike storage and charging situations. The tool free battery door makes this hassle free, and it greatly simplifies the frame and door interface making it lighter and more durable.

Fork

Fox Float 38 Performance EliteWhen you need to go really big, reach for the 38. Optimized for 160-180mm of travel and packing the same revolutionary feature set as the 36, the 38 redefines what you think a long travel single crown fork is capable of, and sets a new benchmark for confidence, performance, and durability.
