The Smuggler will inspire you with its rewarding ride and ability to not hold you back regardless of the trail in front of you. Transition wanted the Smuggler to have the spritely nature of the Spur but with more travel making a blend of the Spur and the burlier Sentinel, making the Smuggler great for anything and everything you fancy. The kinematics are similar to the Spur with a little over 27% progression. This provides a bottomless feel in a mid-travel package. Paired with the Fox Float X shock, the Smuggler can be set up to suit any rider's preference. Looking to increase rear travel Simply remove the travel reducer in the shock to bump the travel up to 140mm. Looking for a bit more progression Just add a larger volume spacer. All of this equates to a super lively, active, and forgiving rear suspension feel in any terrain.The Smuggler exhibits a few frame design features that further our push to have clean aesthetics while remaining easy to service. The most notable is the headtube area that provides better functionality and serviceability. The new headtube has integrated bearing cups and no longer needs headset cups pressed into the frame. This allows the frame to have super clean cable ports at the front of the headtube with fully guided internal cable routing from the headtube to the port above the bottom bracket shell. From there, cables cleanly enter the rear triangle hidden from view.Dual 29″ Wheels – Clearance to run up to 2.5″ tyres.140mm Front & 130mm Rear Travel – The perfect amount of travel for moving around the mountains.Drop in Headset Bearings – Eliminates headset cups for simpler setup and durability.New Cable Routing – Clean headtube cable routing for precise cable management.Internal Cable Routing – Guide tubes inside the frame for super easy setup.Size Specific Chainstays – As the frame sizes grow, so do the Chainstays to keep rider weight balanced on the bike.27% Progression – Allows the bike to be incredible responsive to the trail while still being able to take large hits.Gear Accessory Mount – Ditch the backpack and keep essential gear for on trail repairs.UDH – SRAM's universal derailleur hanger available at almost every bike shop.5 Sizes Transition make it easy to find the perfect size for you.Lifetime Warranty – Transition believe your bike should last longer than you.GiddyUp Suspension – Transition want to make it as easy as possible to experience great rear suspension performance. The GiddyUp suspension system is designed to behave intuitively across a broad range of setup. Because sometimes you just want to grab your bike and GiddyUp, without checking your setup. When you do, it will always feel good.With 27% of progression and a consistent linear rate of change, the Smuggler has an excellent balance of support and small bump sensitivity. Anti-squat is tuned to enhance pedalling performance and acceleration but doesn't get in the way of the suspension working when it's needed.A wide usable sag range of 25 – 35% allows the rider to tune the feel of the bike; from firm and snappy, to more supple and active. Wherever you end up, you can focus on the trail without remotes, levers or knobs. Just grab your bike and GiddyUp.Size Chart:
