Transition just announced a really really cool addition to their lineup: a hugely updated, carbon fiber version of their highly coveted Smuggler. The bike sees Boost, Metric shock sizing (with a nice low leverage rate) and its travel gets bumped from 115m to 120mm out back, set to be paired with a 140mm travel fork. The entire bike is carbon fiber including the rocker and features Transition’s unconventional approach to numbers: “Speed Balanced Geometry”. This is a very exciting looking bike.
