The Transition Relay PNW edition is designed to be ridden hard and fast, and in those settings it excelled, earning itself the nickname of an “E-Downhill Bike” during our lightweight E-MTB head-to head test. On the flip side, however, the bike’s aggressive geometry and coil sprung suspension has a tendency to soak up small to moderate sized trail features, meaning you really had to push this bike hard to get to its sweet spot. Another neat feature on the Relay is the ability to ride the bike without the battery installed, making it a great option for folks wanting to use the same bike for pedal-assist laps and at the bike park.
