We like Transition bikes here at Wideopen. Here’s the news on the all new Bandit…
The Bandit is a true to form lightweight trail bike designed to rip up and down the mountain.
We pushed the envelope of tube design and machining of frame parts to create a bike that absolutely floats through singletrack. Careful attention to pivot placement and leverage curves make the Bandit feel like a long travel bike on the descents and a XC race bike going up.
Our goal was to create a trail bike that combined the ultimate uphill pedaling feel along with a playful spirit on the downhill that is a treat to throw around corners, bunny hop and pull the front end up over obstacles.
The Bandit gets you the best of both worlds without compromising and will put a smile on your face going up and downhill.
