Summary
The Transition Repeater is a capable enduro eMTB praised for its confident descending and efficient climbing, thanks to its balanced geometry and supple suspension. It features modern motor systems like SRAM Powertrain or Shimano EP8, offering powerful assistance and innovative features such as auto-shift. However, some reviews note issues with value, handling sluggishness on moderate trails, and component limitations.
Confident and stable descending performance
Efficient climbing with steep seat angles and good traction
Supple and forgiving suspension with excellent small-bump absorption
Modern motor systems (e.g., SRAM Powertrain, Shimano EP8) with high torque and features like auto-shift
Clean cockpit design with internal cable routing
Value for money concerns with high price points
Sluggish handling on flowing or moderate trails
Noise issues from motor or components
Limited battery options or non-removable batteries in some builds
Component limitations such as short dropper posts or drivetrain refinement
The SRAM Powertrain system delivers extra features like auto-shift and coast-shift. The latter? Extraordinarily good.
BikerumorIt’s one of the best climbing ebikes on the market.
BikeRadarThe new Repeater Powertrain feels just like it looks, delivering a rather underwhelming riding performance on the trail.
E-Mountainbike MagazineThe new Repeater is a capable, well riding machine.
EMTB ForumsThe overall performance of this eBike as a whole could be described in one word, ‘ADDICTIVE.’

The travel has been bumped up to 170mm front and rear on this second-generation machine, as well as longer and slacker geometry numbers and revised suspension kinematics to make it even more capable.

Transition equip 170mm Repeater eMTB with a SRAM Eagle Powertrain system and Transmission group for auto-shift and coast-shift capabilities

When Sram recently launched their new motor system, we saw several images of a Transition bike. What we saw was the new 2024 Transition Repeater. Repeater isn’t a new name for Transition. That bike already exists, it comes with the Shimano EP8...

Erster Test zum neuen E-Mountainbike Transition Repeater 2024 mit dem neuem SRAM Eagle Powertrain-Motorsystem.
Plush rear suspension generates plenty of traction
Inspires huge amounts of confidence
Gravity-oriented spec
Complete, integrated package consisting of the motor system and drivetrain
Feels underwhelmed on moderate trails
Sluggish handling
Auto Shift reaches its limits on technical trails

Repetition often leads to refinement and in the case of the Transition Repeater PT, refinement is the name of the game. Learn more here.

It sounds like the original Repeater will still remain in the lineup, at least for the near future, to ever-so-slightly balance out the high price of the Powertrain equipped models..
Jun 2023 · Alex Evans
Transition’s Repeater is the brand’s full-power ebike, designed for gnarly downhills and high-paced ascents
Exceptionally adept at ascending
Bump eating suspension
Balanced geometry
Grippy tyres
Long travel dropper
Value for money
Nx eagle drivetrain lacks refinement and interferes with control setup
Not enough fork travel
Feb 2023 · February 9, 2023
For a bike brand which has carved out a well-rounded reputation for delivering a large quiver of naturally aspirated bikes with a real gravity orientated background, I guess it was no surprise and just matter of time before Transition Bikes delved into ‘Turbo Mode’ and included an eMTB to their already impressive line-up of Mountain Bikes.
