Mar 2026 · Cole Gregg
This Transition Spur V2 finds it a more confident and capable short-travel trail bike without losing an ounce of the pep. See how it rides.
Climbing prowess retained from original
Composed and confident descending despite 120mm travel
Poppy, playful, and balanced feel
High rear suspension progression for controlled big hits
Intuitive jumping
Well-finished frame with rattle-free internal routing
Boom Box storage
Lifetime warranty on frame
Ample seatpost insertion allowing long dropper
Weight only increased 0.2 lb from previous model
Not the plushest short-travel bike
Forward riding position on flatter climbs puts pressure on hands
Limited traction on loose, ultra-steep grinds
Limited side knobs on Forekaster tires require learning for hard corners
Shimano XT Di2 derailleur noise on big hits
Mar 2026 · Mike Kazimer
In-frame storage, adjustable geometry, and a shorter seat tube are a few of the key updates.
Hits the mark when it comes to overall handling.
Short stems, higher rise bars, and longer dropper posts are great to see on a 120mm bike.
The frame weight's reasonable, but gram counters may want something even lighter.
Even the base model is on the pricier side of things.

Why you shouldn't overlook this capable and genre-bending short-travel mountain bike.
Dec 2024 · Ron Koch
Transition’s lightness, both in feel and on the scales, makes for a bike that can be pedaled farther and pointed down gnarly lines with fresh legs, thanks to the overall efficiency.
Mar 2024 · Tim Wild
A Sedona hot lap on the new Transition Spur suggests this is a bike that can punch above its weight.
Incredibly light
Playful geometry
Lifetime frame warranty
Limited colorways
