The Transition Patrol Carbon takes their 160mm mixed-wheel mountain bike platform and drops almost three pounds with this new frame!
got a new 160mm travel, mixed wheel design in 2021, and now they’re giving their big-mountain bike a carbon fiber frame option.
Designed to be stiffer so you can get rowdier, it also drops a massive 2.8lbs off the alloy frame’s weight. It keeps the geometry flip chips and size-specific chainstay lengths, simply making it a lighter, stiffer version of the bike. The Patrol Carbon uses a 27.5″ rear wheel with a 29er front. It’s compatible with 160-170mm forks, including double-crown forks, and they say you can even down-spec it to a 150mm fork if you wanted.
The bike’s 160mm rear wheel travel is supplied with a custom-tuned air shock, but it’s compatible with coil shocks, too. Claimed frame weight, with shock for size medium is 7.4lbs , versus 10.2lb for the alloy frame. They’ll be sold as framesets first, starting this fall, with a GX Eagle-spec’d complete bike following later this year. Available in Bonfire Red and Moonshadow, price TBA.
