Hello. Benji here, Singletrack Magazine
0:05
with the new
0:06
Transition Spur version two, mark two.
0:11
120 mil at the back still.
0:14
130 mil fork now though. A lot more
0:17
stand over on a bike that already had
0:18
loads. I think this is a large and
0:20
that's 430 seat tube. That's a 210 post
0:24
in there.
0:25
I could probably get a 240 in there,
0:27
which is quite rare.
0:29
Um degrees, I think it's in the low mode
0:32
at the moment, which I'll show you in a
0:33
sec. 65 and a half it says, 75.9 at the
0:38
back. I'm going to measure those cuz
0:39
it's always
0:40
sometimes not quite accurate and tell
0:42
people what they want to hear. Rides a
0:44
lot slacker than that, but that might be
0:48
because of
0:49
this thing here. The distance between
0:51
there and the ground is very flipping
0:54
low. It's great. It's in low mode
0:56
[clears throat] at the moment. You can
0:57
turn that around without having to
0:59
remove from the shock actually, which is
1:01
good. You unbolt it.
1:02
You kind of turn it around and situate
1:04
and bolt it back in. It's good. I like
1:05
that. It changes it half a degree, but 7
1:08
mil, which on an already low bike is
1:11
quite significant.
1:13
Uh this has got Eagle 90 mechanical on
1:16
it, DT Swiss X 1700 wheels.
1:19
I have Oh, and it's got Motives.
1:22
Not sure what
1:23
Motive silver are they awesome pattern
1:25
now.
1:26
Came with 180 rotors front and rear. I
1:27
put a 203 because of the conditions.
1:30
And it normally comes with a
1:33
Forecasters.
1:35
Maxxis Forecaster front and rear. Still
1:37
one on the rear, but they put a
1:39
Maxxis DHR II on the front because I
1:41
didn't want to die today cuz although
1:42
it's nice and spring-like, woo.
1:46
It's quite slimy out there still.
1:48
Price-wise, they're now about 7,000
1:50
euros. So waiting to see on the um
1:53
British price. That's the The hatch.
1:55
That's the other thing that's new.
1:57
Uh a little bit longer chainstays,
1:59
particularly on the large and extra
2:00
large models.
2:03
And hidden hardware, like they've done
2:04
on their other models.
2:07
Uh [sighs and gasps]
2:07
yeah.
2:08
It's a fun bike,
2:10
unsurprisingly.
2:12
Right. Go to singletrackworld.com, read
2:14
my first ride review, and I'll ride it
2:16
for a lot longer, give it a few more
2:17
people,
2:19
and do a proper review.
2:20
Bye for now.
