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.
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
Not the most efficient climber
Geometry can outrun the capabilities of the fork in some scenarios
Finding the right suspension setup can be challenging
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.
BetaThe 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!
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineThe updated Patrol loves to party.
NSMBThe blend between fun and fast is ever so close to being perfect.Pinkbike

The Transition Patrol Carbon X0 AXS is supposed to be a real party animal on the trails. We tested one for you to find out what it’s capable of
Good all-rounder
Intuitive handling
Excellent suspension with tons of traction, support and reserves
Tires don’t do justice to the bike’s potential or intended use
Direct handling requires a vigilant riding style in rough terrain

We test the new Transition Patrol Carbon.

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!

Mixed wheels, clear intentions
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
Not the snappy mixed-wheel experience some may be looking for
Fans of rear lockouts might wish for a firmer setting
