We know a lot of people have been waiting for this bike, and we are happy to tell you it’s coming. Soon.

Purpose – Versatility
Transition was looking to design a versatile bike for downhill, freeride, park, and shuttle riders who enjoy riding aggressively but may not want a pure bred 8″ travel downhill race bike. The geometry on the TR250 will be a bit less aggressive than the TR450 and will maintain a similar suspension feel as its big brother but in a shorter travel version. The current prototype has some initial suppleness with some progression in the suspension design to help it track good in rough terrain as well as take bigger hits without upsetting the rider much like their TR450 bike does.

It may well be RockShox’s answer to Fox’s Kashima Coat fork stanchion coating – a slick mirrored black finish, which was spotted on Ross Schnell’s Lyrik fork at last weekend’s Downieville Classic. (more…)
When a Handjob won’t do and picking up a STD is out of the question, it’s time to take another look at the G-Spot. For 2010, Cove completely redesigned the venerable G-Spot from the loam up.
The biggest change for the G-Spot is the suspension design. Gone is the rocker arm linkage with pivots on the seat stays and around the bottom bracket, in favour of the same floating pivot point suspension design as its big brother, the Shocker. So, how does this new version of a Shore classic ride? Good question… (more…)

After spending two solid days riding the new V10 Carbon at the Whistler bike park I can say that it is no longer a niche bike. It is still a nice bike – actually nicer than ever – but it is no longer a niche bike. (more…)
