The Transition 29er Enduro Sentinel caused a sensation in 2017, on the one hand with a new geometry approach called Speed Balanced Geometry, and on the other with a carbon frame, as Transition otherwise tended to use carbon as an exception.

Now it's time for the next coup using this miracle material: the 29er trail bike Smuggler comes in carbon clothing, the frame weighs in at 2.95 kilograms and everything is made of carbon fiber: main frame, rocker link and rear triangle. Like its aluminum counterpart, the Smuggler has 120 millimeters of travel at the rear and 140 millimeters at the front. The tire width is 29x2.3 inches.

The Smuggler Carbon should be available from spring 2018. There are two complete bikes, one with a Sram GX build for CHF 4,999, while the version with X01 parts costs CHF 5,999. A frameset is also available for CHF 2,999.
