The bike excels in both climbing and descending, making it a versatile choice for a variety of trails.

This isn't your usual short-travel trail bike - the Smuggler's geometry allows it to shine in terrain typically reserved for longer-travel machines.

Transition Smuggler GX review

mei 2019 · Mick Kirkman

More playtime than a kindergarten from this lip-boosting, corner-shredding play bike

Hoogtepunten
  • Descends like some 160mm bikes and packs way more pop

  • Reduced-offset/long-reach ‘Speed Balanced Geometry’ is all it’s cracked up to be

Dieptepunten
  • You’ll want to flick the shock into ‘trail’ mode for extra tightness on flowy flatter trails and climbs

Tested: Transition Smuggler Carbon GX

Normal conventions don’t apply to the Transition Smuggler Carbon, and that’s kind of the point.

Transition Smuggler Carbon - Review

apr 2018 · Mike Kazimer

The latest version of Transition's short travel 29er is longer and slacker than ever - does that mean it's better?

Hoogtepunten
  • Extremely fun, energetic ride

  • Well thought-out geometry

  • Threaded BB, room for a water bottle

Dieptepunten
  • Not the lightest option in this category

  • Limited rear tire clearance

  • Aggressive riders may need to run less sag to avoid bottoming out

Transition Smuggler X01 Alloy

mrt 2018

The Transition Smuggler is the trail bike of your dreams, it’s agile and nimble yet retains the ability to plough through the rough. It makes you climb like you are the best version of yourself and is an absolute hoot downhill. It’s a little on the hefty side but when a bike is this versatile and this much fun to ride, you really won’t care. First Look - Calibre Bossnut Evo - is this is the best value full susser ever? Review - 7Mesh Inc Revelation Jacket Get the facts straight The Smuggler is a 120mm 29er that uses a 140mm fork.

Transition Smuggler 4 (2017) review - MBR

jun 2017 · Jamie Darlow

There's nothing logical but something magical about the Transition Smuggler. On paper it shouldn't really work. On dirt it's a different story.

Hoogtepunten
  • - The first ride — great riding position, great suspension and any doubts blown away.

  • - 100% reliability, no nasty or potentially expensive surprises, no fiddly workshop jobs and no lost riding days.

  • - Unleashing the Smuggler’s potential, by growing the fork 10mm and feeling the bike really rip.

Dieptepunten
  • - Hefting the bike onto the scales and seeing the digits flick up to a mighty 35lb.

  • - Jealousy — riding a YT Jeffsy at nearly the same price, with carbon frame, wheels, drivetrain.

  • - Feeling just a smidge under biked at a steeper, more nadgery riding spots.
