Shop all Transition Shop sale TransitionThere are somewhere around none to zero bikes that make as much sense as the Transition Scout Alloy GX Complete Mountain Bike. This is a modern trail bike in every sense, with 140/150mm of travel on an excellent suspension platform and a supremely capable SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain. The geo is spot-on to handle everything from a spandex ride on doubletrack to a flannel-clad shuttle day. Really: this is as versatile a bike as we've ever seen, and one that can handle 99% of riding situations. You cannot go wrong with a Scout.
6061 Aluminum Alloy Frame – Known for its durability, strength, and ride quality, aluminum is real!
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.

User Friendly Cable Routing – To simplify maintenance and keep your bike noise free, the rear derailleur cable is routed through guide tubes in the front triangle and chainstay.
Water Bottle Compatibility – Your water bottle is kept clean inside the front triangle so you can keep hydrated without worrying about mud making it to your mouth.
12 x 148mm Boost Rear End
Fox Float 36 Grip 2 Performance Elite – Performance Elite forks retain the same adjustments, dampers, weight, and 7000 series aluminum upper tubes as Factory Series, but have black anodized upper tubes instead of Genuine Kashima Coat. In other words, this fork is as good as it gets!

Maxxis Assegai Front Tire – The Maxxis Assegai tire is named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa.

While other tires excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.
