Transition Relay eMTB | Lightweight Electric MTB GAME CHANGER

Спорт

I'm a big lightweight eMTB fan, and the Transition Relay may very well be my new favorite bike. Ride it as a super-capable and playful electric mountain bike, or take the battery out and ride it as a "regular" long-travel mountain bike.

    Dude, this is a fantastic review video. I love that you called out anyone that's knocking this concept because TR, once again, absolutely crushed it with the Relay. I actually ran into one of the TR guys on a recent trip in Idaho. He had no place to camp for the night so he hung out with us in our site and gave us a little demo of this bike in camp. It's rad. Also, I had no idea how rad the trails are in NC. So sick!

    Good work mate, great to see a review focussing on how the bike rides without the battery. I'm hoping to get my hands on a PNW version in the next few months and expect to ride it more than half the time without battery. I noticed some juddering noise on the audio in a few sections, most notably 5:30 - 5:40; any idea what that is?

  • @mikeyp3694

    You totally nailed it. The PNW edition has the same specs roughly as say a Santa Cruz Nomad and is maybe 6 lbs heavier without the battery......oh....and you get an E-bike as a bonus for just a bit more $$$. Total game changer....and was also surprised other reviews fail to mention this entirely. I don't have an ebike but this gets me closer for sure....

    I'm 41 and Ride Specialized Stumpjumper and Scott Genius here in Switzerland If I would buy a E-bike it would probably be a Transition Relay or Pivot Shuttle SL. I also did testride a Scott Lumen which I actually really liked since i like the normal Scott Spark too. I don't have the Budget for "another" Bike and given that my Stumpjumper Expert only did cost me 3400 Euro the asking price for those E-mtb is too high for me at around 10k. Yes, I could afford it, but I won't, the same way I will not spend 1200k for the latest graphics card😅 I have some wear and tear on my body ( Back pain, disk damage, often Migraines) from a lifetime of Snowboarding/Skiing, Skating, climbing, running around with my sled-dogs (Husky's and Samojed) and all the other crazy stuff I did 😅 Bottom line, my body would be ready for a E-bike for those "I'm in pain" days😁 But I like the direction those SL E-Bikes Bikes are going and my parents already own two at the age of 70 and 77. Cheers from Switzerland PS. Removable battery also means you can take this Bike on an Airplane theoretically.

    Comparing it to an EP8 full power is tough, because the experience is very different. Id say a quick off the cuff comparison (thinking back to the Santa Cruz Heckler I've most recently trail ridden) that the on-trail difference would feel something like the Relay being ~75% of the EP8 in all-out power. To me, the on-trail power is not as far off as you'd think. When I ride the Repeater that we have in the shop around the parking lot, it just has a very different feel to it, and again, I prefer the lighter feel of the Relay.

    So ’ve been toying with the idea of an enduro bike that is slightly slacker and bigger than my Santa Cruz Bronson V3 (2019) that is my current rig. Reason is I’m enjoying going steeper and gnarlier in the mountains as skills get better, and while Bronson can do it; I’d like something that can give me a bit extra safety net the way my Bronson does on the slightly lesser stuff. I’m 51 with more mileage on my body than I write in a sentence. Lol. But after a mtb trip over week of 4th I’m also looking at ebikes for miles and more gnar and more climbs and more downs in the mountains. I’m thinking the Relay might solve both for me. How would you feel using the Relay at lift assist bike park days? I’m a blue and lower end black flow/jump trails guy, black tech trails guy. That is mainly when I would ride it sans battery.

    Not really sure the park ranger will take a "but no battery" as an excuse for taking an ebike to the non ebike trails. I don't know. But I do know that having to remove the battery to charge is annoying, and I'd worry a bit about rattle from the cover and battery. Living with a bike long term is different than trying it for a few rides. I think this bike looks really awesome, but lacks on a few fronts. Overall, great bike and I wish the fuel exe had the geo and travel of the relay or relay had the motor and integration of the fuel exe.

    If all of the electricity is removed from the e-bike, is it still an electric bike? I’m a stickler for not riding e-bikes on trails that don’t allow them, but as shown I’ve been riding this one on them and will continue to do so. The battery cover doesn’t rattle, and the ability to charge the battery away from the bike for me is one it’s best features. And I usually avoid negativity or sweeping generalizations, but this bike would destroy the Trek in regards to power of the system and capability.

Regarding battery - horses for courses. Best of both worlds would without a doubt be an easily removable battery and also be able to charge it without taking it out. Regarding fuel exe, I think it's a matter of horses for courses once again. Fuel set up with a 27.5 rear wheel with frame in high setting and a 160mm Zeb / 38 fork has roughly the same geo as relay but less travel and a lower BB making it unsuitable for some spots but great on most other spots.

    @@southpawlibranine3511 I actually put EXO casing on the front and EXO+ on the rear intentionally and haven't had a single flat. I am a lighter rider, but I completely disagree about an Assegai /DHRII in EXO+ factory offering not being enough.

    @@southpawlibranine3511No it doesn't, 37lbs is 16.7kg, which is only a little heavier than my Slash. And there's no noticeable drag from the Fazua, so I don't believe you've tried it. You seem to just be a whiner. If a Assegai and DHR2 isn't enough for you then you need to get better at riding.

    @@megane230f1 Yeah focus was ahead of the game there, but their geo was a bit behind, seem to have caught up now and they have JAM 2 SL that is almost the same as this bike just a bit shorter travel but also with removable battery.

    I raced my Relay at Bryce in the recent Down-Duro and I took the battery out. It was awesome and pedaling around the base of the park with no battery was no problem. My relay is 38 lbs in L size with no battery (42.6 w/ battery). Not anorexic but for what it is, that’s killer!

    Any battery rattle or any rattle at all from the bike?? I have a Relay on pre-order and I have nightmares about rattling e-bikes since my current full-fat emtb has a. rattling battery door and b. rattling seat post. It’s an exhausting annoyance
