The Covert is the most versatile bike Transition make. Designed to not only excel in a multitude of riding styles, it dominates them. The main goal with the Covert was to create a bike that you could ride almost anywhere with the least amount of compromising. New pivot placements and geometry make the Covert super comfortable and efficient to climb while the increased stroke shock and custom tuned suspension make the Covert destroy downhills and remain incredibly playful. That is why the Covert is our bike of choice for pro level enduro and avalanche style racing. You can pedal all day and then point it down almost any type of terrain with total confidence.

Singletrack review
Bandit
26" or 29” with 130mm rear wheel travel, 140 front for the 26" or 120 all round on the 29er the bandit is Transitions short travel trail bike, light and responsive for all day cross county epics or trail centre adventures. It’s a cross country trail bike that is slightly down hill biased and a whole load of fun.
Based on the 26” Bandit the 29” version has the 120mm rear front and rear travel but combined with the bigger wheels equates to a hard hitting all mountain bike with the all day mile munching ability. The rider sits in it not perched on top of it encouraging you to push the limits
The Bandit is an aggressive trail bike designed for riders that love long rides and long climbs but don't want to compromise on the descents. Built with an excellent strength to weight ratio, the Bandit can hang with the XC crowd while remaining very aggressive on the downhill’s and technical sections. The custom tuned suspension provides incredibly efficient pedalling while maintaining the ability to go wide open and devour rough trails.
Bandit 26: Frame only £1,400 with Fox float CTD BV Kashima, build 1: £4,650, build 2: £3,250, build 3: £2500
Bandit 29”: Frame only £1,400 with Fox float CTD BV Kashima, build 1: £4,700, build 2: £3,350, build 3: £2575
TransAm
26" or 29" Steel framed trail ready hardtail that can be built geared or single speed. This is a hidden gem in the Transition range, a hardcore steel hardtail ideal for British muddy trails and capable of out manoeuvring many a full suspension bike.
With the explosion in 29ers and the mass of uninspired 'me too' big wheelers appearing it’s refreshing to see Transitions take on the revolution. Trail friendly fun handling big wheeled bikes that can be ridden rather than steered like an oil tanker.
The TransAM defines what a true all mountain hardtail should be. Strong, versatile and most of all fun to ride. Packed with tons of features like a 12 x 142mm rear dropout that is convertible to singlespeed or 10 x 135, oversized 44mm headtube to run tapered forks, ISCG tabs and a 30.9 seattube so you can use adjustable seatposts. On the trail the TransAM is quick, agile and at home on a wide variety of trail conditions. If you haven't ridden a hardtail in awhile, the TransAM will remind you why you fell in love with mountain biking.
Frame only £585, build 1: £2,100
