2012 Transition Bike Models

Triathlons and time trials require some serious suffering and no aversion to going fast. Really fast. In designing the Transition, we sought every possible advantage to shave a few seconds—or even minutes—through advanced aerodynamics, stiffness, handling, and versatile fit options to secure the fastest time possible.

WHAT:

FACT 7r frame with N’aero tube shaping, triple monocoque construction, and compact triathlon geometry with a front end similar to the Tarmac geo.

WHY:

Creates an incredibly aerodynamic frame that doesn’t skimp on stiffness.

HOW:

By designing our modified airfoil tubes to be as narrow as possible for typical bike speeds (including a 1” head tube), and combining this with a slacker head tube angle that’s similar to a road bike, we can create a super slippery, yet stable bike.
