Summary

The Transition Patrol is celebrated for its downhill prowess, offering a stable and forgiving ride that excels in steep and rough terrain. Its mixed-wheel design and updated geometry enhance its capability, making it a versatile choice for bike parks and local trails alike. While it may not be the lightest or most efficient climber, its value and performance in descents make it a standout in the enduro category.

Pros
  • Stable and forgiving downhill performance

  • Versatile for various terrains and riding styles

  • Excellent suspension with tons of traction and support

  • Good value for the price, especially in critical components

  • Updated geometry and mixed-wheel design enhance capability

Cons
  • Not the most efficient climber

  • Geometry can outrun the capabilities of the fork in some scenarios

  • Finding the right suspension setup can be challenging

Key Quotes
The Patrol is a bruiser. It’s not particularly snappy or light-under-foot. It’s not the sort of big bike that wants to be your only bike. It is a plow.

The supportive rear suspension makes it easy to generate speed by pumping through rollers and berms, but still provides excellent traction and plenty of reserves for big hits – awesome!

[R]eviewed // Transition Patrol Alloy 2023 Custom

Mar 2023 · March 21, 2023

We went all out on this custom build, but with a twist.... Fully top shelf spec, but zero carbon fiber! Every part of this custom build was hand picked purely to suit the style of trails that our reviewer rides 90% of the time. Certainly a unique approach to a very, very cool custom build. Listen in as we chat about the entire process - and there's a heap of shredding action in here too!

Tested: Transition Patrol Deore

Jan 2022 · Travis Engel

Mixed wheels, clear intentions

Highs
  • As calm and stable at speed as a full-29-inch enduro bike

  • Reasonably comfortable on long climbs

  • The high geometry setting is actually usable

  • Remarkable value, in a category with few high-value options

Lows
  • Not the snappy mixed-wheel experience some may be looking for

  • Fans of rear lockouts might wish for a firmer setting
