Transition Patrol Carbon GX 29 Bike

The Pure Bred Party Animal

The mixed wheel Patrol has a new look but remains ready for anything and unapologetic when it comes to shredding trails.

As one of the longest-standing bikes in our lineup, it was the obvious choice for an update. The geometry has been revised to accommodate 29" front and 27.5" rear wheels, along with a tuned suspension that might just keep you riding all day—and all night. Whether you're jibbing, jumping, pumping, or hooting your way down the trail, the updated Patrol loves to party. From bike parks to local trails, the Patrol isn't concerned with where you ride but rather how much fun you're having.

Speed Balanced Geometry

SBG ensures the bike maintains low-speed agility, front-wheel traction, and proper rider weight balance while increasing confidence in steep terrain and at high speeds. With SBG, a slacker head tube angle is combined with a new reduced offset fork standard, preventing the front wheel from being too far in front of the rider. This improves front-to-rear weight distribution on the bike, often out of balance on long and slack bikes. One of SBG's greatest benefits is that it creates a confident steering feel that adapts to wheel speed. More stability when going fast, more agility on technical slow-speed maneuvering, as well as improved traction, control, and confidence for any skill level of rider.

Giddyup Suspension Design

We want to make it as easy as possible to experience great rear suspension performance. The GiddyUp suspension system is designed to behave intuitively across a broad range of setup. Because, we get it, sometimes you just want to grab your bike and GiddyUp, without checking your setup. When you do, it will always feel good.

With nearly 24% progression and the most current evolution of our GiddyUp suspension kinematic, the Patrol has an excellent balance of support and small bump sensitivity. Anti-squat is tuned to enhance pedaling performance and provides a platform to push against when pumping, without sacrificing a bottomless feel when needed.

The GiddyUp suspension layout is tuned to work correctly with both air and coil rear shocks. Riders are able to add or remove volume spacers in the rear air shock to suit their individual riding style and there is plenty of bottom out control with air or coil shocks when things get rowdy. The Patrol has 160mm of rear wheel travel when used with the supplied 205mm x 60mm stroke shock. It is also possible to install a longer, 205mm x 65mm stroke shock to increase the rear wheel travel to 170mm if you are after a longer travel experience.

A suggested sag range of 27 - 33% allows the rider to tune the feel of the bike; from a firm and snappy jump and slash mode, to a more supple and active full on party mode. Wherever you end up, you can focus on the trail without remotes, levers or knobs. Just grab your bike and GiddyUp.
