Shop all Transition Shop sale TransitionWith a hefty RockShox Lyrik RCT3 fork and all-new Super Deluxe RC3 shock in back, the Transition Patrol GX evo Complete Mountain Bike eats bumps for breakfast and smashes through chunky rock gardens for dinner. You're worried about the climb up though? Don't be! The Patrol relies on Transition's award-winning Giddy Up suspension system to adapt that plush travel into powerful and efficient pedal strokes on the climb. Epitomizing what it means to be an enduro-worthy pedal pony, this evo exclusive Transition Patrol GX evo Complete Mountain Bike was built out specially for gravity enthusiasts who still find themselves putting in work to earn every air and power slide on the way down.

Progressive Geometry – Long, low and slack.
Giddy Up Suspension System – When 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.
RockShox Super Deluxe RC3 – The directive was simple. Engineer a shock that does for rear-suspension performance what Pike did for forks. Simple? Don’t bet on it. A gamble? Absolutely. It required a complete change in the way RockShox approaches shock design. It meant focusing on performance first and leaving old constraints behind. And it gave RockShox a clear path to develop the world’s lowest-friction shock — Super Deluxe. Metric sizing gives Super Deluxe significantly increased bushing overlap, which, together with a sophisticated new bushing profile, virtually eliminates friction in the shock. A new damper holds the shock high in its stroke and offers unparalleled traction. Unshackled from the old obstacles of shock design, Super Deluxe is free to tackle new ones — on the trail. This changes everything.
