Shop all Transition Shop sale TransitionAfter being dubbed "Mountain Bike of the Year" just last season, the 2018 Transition Patrol NX Complete Mountain Bike needed little refinement. Yet being the tinkerers that they are, the team at Transition has further developed the Patrol to continue pushing the boundaries of a long travel trail bike. Incorporating new Speed Balanced Geometry (SBG), this year's Patrol boasts even more control, confidence, and party! What is SBG? Transition combines a slacker head tube angle with a new, reduced-offset fork standard -- it may sound minute, but the difference is plenty evident in the saddle. Top this bad boy off with the simple and reliable 1x NX groupset and we can guarantee that the powerful, versatile Transition Patrol NX Complete Mountain Bike will completely evolve the way you look at trails.
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 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.
GiddyUp 2.0HH Suspension – Building upon the success of Transition's original GiddyUp suspension design, the new GiddyUp 2.0HH system has been refined for the modern two-wheel cowboy delivering a slightly firmer feel for more efficient pedaling, as well as more progressive travel that provides that extra little bit of bottom-out support when needed.
RockShox Deluxe RT – How do you improve on the success of a rear shock that has received critical acclaim for its stellar performance and supple feel? It’s simple.
