Vital's SL eMTB Test Sessions - Transition Relay Review (Product Review)

Overall Review
Of all the bikes in this year's Test Sessions, Transition's Relay presented a unique proposition. It might use the same compact yet powerful Fazua motor as the Santa Cruz Heckler SL and Ari Bikes' Nebo Peak, but it's the only bike that encourages riding without assistance if desired. Highlights Carbon frame (alloy models available) Two travel configurations: 160mm rear wheel travel (air) // 160mm fork (tested) 170mm rear wheel travel (coil) // 170mm fork Mixed or dual 29-inch wheels GiddyUp suspension design 60 Nm Fazua Ride 60 motor 430 Wh battery 63.3/64-degree head tube angle Size-optimized...
