Product Info

Sure, that 8-inch suspension is great and all for DH riding, but it makes for an awfully cumbersome experience on more varied terrain. That's where the Transition Scout 2 Complete Mountain Bike comes in and absolutely blows your mind! A relatively short travel trail bike with aggressive geometry, the Scout provides playful and snappy control from the saddle with a short chainstay length that yields punchy acceleration. Perfect for brapping up and down tight singletrack, the Scout 2 Complete Mountain Bike blends the fun of a slopesyle bike with the pedal-ability to get you through high mileage adventures.

Frame/Shock

Progressive GeometryLong, low and slack.

Giddy Up Suspension SystemWhen 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.

The chassis is lean while maintaining the durability and adjustability needed to bite off huge chunks of burly trail action and epic cross country.

Fork

RockShox Pike RCT3It is the new-school all-mountain and enduro riders’ weapon of choice. It has received critical acclaim by the global mountain-bike media. It came out of the box and marched its way to an Enduro World Series overall title. And with good reason. PIKE was engineered to provide the plushest, most high-performance ride quality imaginable. Its Charger Damper with Rapid Recovery keeps you riding high in the travel, where the feel is plushest, and maintains your bike’s natural geometry. Its stiffness to weight to travel ratios are unbeatable, meaning you get a lot more from a lot less. Better control from fewer and more intuitive rider inputs allow you to charge harder. Which equals time and energy for more laps. If all-mountain riding and enduro racing is how you describe a good day in the saddle, then PIKE should be on your ride.

Drive Train

Race Face Turbine Cinch DM32T CranksetThe Turbine continues setting the benchmark for performance aluminum cranks and cements the Turbine legacy. Featuring the proven Race Face Cinch System interface, the Turbine is an incredibly light and stiff performance crankset for today's modern XC, trail, and all-mountain rider. Imagine interchangeable spiders, limitless ring combinations, a 30mm alloy spindle and compatibility across all relevant frame standards. Interested in counting watts? The Turbine crankset is compatible with the new CINCH Power Meter. Quite possibly the most versatile crankset you will ever own.

SRAM X1 X-ACTUATION™ Trigger ShifterPut your finger on the pulse of sharp, dependable shifting with the SRAM X1 X-ACTUATION™ trigger shifter. Built for precise and swift shifting across SRAM's wide range 11-speed cassette, the X1 trigger shifter brings championship technology to every ride.

SRAM X01 X-HORIZON™ Rear DerailleurThanks to its "horizontal parallelogram" design, X-HORIZON™ can keep the chain gap the same across all 11 gears. By taking vertical movement out of the equation, this design doesn't just make shifting faster -- it reduces shift force and eliminates ghost shifting. ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH™ technology makes wheel removal and installation easier than ever before.

SRAM XG1175 FULL-PIN™ 10-42T CassetteFULL PIN™ technology uses ten lightweight, stamped steel cogs and one 42T aluminum cog held together with 123 high-strength stainless steel pins. The result: a cassette that's light, durable and equipped with SRAM's super wide 10-42 gear range that's a perfect fit for any ride. The open design similar to SRAM's X-DOME™ cassette aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life.

SRAM PC1130 ChainThe PC-1130 chain is an affordable, lightweight and precise option for all 11-speed groupsets.

Brakes

SRAM Guide RSC Hydraulic Disc BrakesThe new SRAM Guide RSC is packed with ride-enhancing performance that makes every new trail a trusted old friend. SRAM started from scratch to create the perfect combination of braking reliability and control. Brand-new SwingLink™ technology provides more power, silky-smooth modulation, less deadband and better lever-feel than you've ever experienced. Steep-line confidence. Deep-corner dominance. Ride every trail like you own it.

SRAM Centerline RotorsThe new Centerline Rotor was designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout rotation thereby minimizing vibration offering consistent performance and a quiet ride.

Wheelset

Maxxis Minion DHF EXO 3C | Front TireThe Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.

Maxxis Minion DHR II EXO 3C | Rear TireThe trail version of the Maxxis Minion DHR II features the same tread pattern as its downhill counterpart, but uses a single-ply casing to reduce weight. With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped knobs to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for the ultimate aggressive trail riding tire combo!

Additional Features

RockShox Reverb Stealth Dropper SeatpostDon't let its familiar good looks fool you -- Reverb is a whole new weapon. Its internals have been completely re-engineered to improve on its already legendary performance and to offer enhanced reliability: all the smallest details, down to the single seal, have been re-evaluated and updated to pass the hardest and longest durability tests. Additional bushing overlap also improves performance over time. This is the brand-new Reverb, engineered for the next-generation mountain biker.
