Transition Bikes Trail Bike Rahmen Smuggler Carbon, Gr. L

The Transition Smuggler is the ultimate all-round mountain bike and will not disappoint you on any trail. The 140 mm suspension travel at the front and 130 mm at the rear, combined with 29-inch wheels, are ideal for trails uphill, downhill and on the flat. But the trail MTB also shines on long tours and when eating up kilometers.
The Smuggler has been completely rethought and redesigned with the aim of creating a cross-section of the various successful Transition models. It should be as light-footed and agile as the Spur, but with a little more suspension travel. It should also be as potent on the trails as the Sentinel. The result is the perfect trail bike to master technical trails and aggressive descents, but also to guarantee fun on transfer trails and long climbs.

Smuggler geometry and frame features
The kinematics of the Smuggler have been adopted from the Spur and offer just over 27% progression, so that the 130 mm travel of the Fox Float X shock feels like a lot more. If you want a little more, you can simply remove the travel limiter in the shock and get 140 mm. If you want more progression, you can use a larger volume spacer. This gives the Smuggler a reactive, agile and good-natured rear end.
The length of the chainstays has been adapted to the frame sizes so that maximum performance is guaranteed for every rider.
The full carbon frame of the Smuggler is not only great to look at with its elegant, angular appearance. It offers a number of features that Transition has not yet integrated into any other bike. The head tube has been completely rethought so that it has been improved not only visually but also technically. A separate entry on the head tube was developed for each cable so that all cables are routed internally in the frame. The bearings of the headset are now fully integrated and are placed directly into the bearing seat without tools; they do not need to be pressed in. There are also proven and practical features such as the Sram UDH derailleur hanger and the mounting device for tools, tubes etc. underneath the top tube.
Incidentally, Transition offers a lifetime guarantee on the frame.

Take the Smuggler. You want to do an endurance tour and pedal long climbs and transfers with ease and fun? Take the Smuggler.
As you can see, this bike is the perfect choice for every situation.
