Transition Scout Frameset

Yes, the Scout is specifically engineered around 27.5-inch wheels to maintain its signature playful and agile handling. Attempting to run other wheel sizes will significantly alter the geometry and intended ride characteristics.

The 150mm of travel is designed to be progressive, meaning it offers a supportive feel that resists bottoming out on bigger hits while remaining poppy and responsive on smaller trail features. It strikes a balance between absorbing rough impacts and maintaining the lively feedback riders expect from a shorter-travel bike.

The Scout is built for riders who prioritize maneuverability and fun over pure straight-line speed. It excels on tight, technical trails, jumps, and flow lines where you want a bike that feels flickable and easy to throw around.

The Marzocchi Bomber Air is a versatile shock that allows for standard air pressure and rebound adjustments to suit your weight and riding style. Because it is a custom-tuned setup for this frame, you will find it provides a solid, predictable baseline right out of the box.

While it is incredibly capable in bike parks, the Scout is also a very capable climber and trail bike. Its geometry is balanced enough for all-day rides, provided you are comfortable with a more aggressive, playful riding position rather than a dedicated cross-country racing stance.
