Transition mountain bikes

Their local trails are all over these bikes: playful, confident, and built for terrain the staff ride every day. The Sentinel and Patrol are the well-known ones. The company takes the bikes seriously and itself not at all, which is a good sign.

How this page works

Prices are US MSRP from a 2026 snapshot of the database that powers our quiz, maintained by hand. The takes on this page are mine, sharpened by the riders I trust. Transition pays nothing to appear here and cannot pay to rank higher - here is how we make money. Confirm current pricing on the brand's own site before you buy, and see every bike we rank for the full database.
