<\/p>\nTransition, based in Washington, is a well-known bicycle manufacturer with a diverse range of mountain bikes, each tailored for specific purposes. In addition to their conventional mountain bike lineup, they’ve ventured into the world of e-MTBs with the Repeater. Notably, the new Transition Repeater PT stands out as one of the early adopters of the newly launched Sram Powertrain<\/p>\n
The Transition Repeater PT, short for Powertrain, represents an evolutionary step from the 2022 model, boasting enhanced travel and a more aggressive geometry. This upgrade is complemented by the Sram motor and AXS Transmission, which not only deliver an impressive performance boost but also ensure a tidy cockpit layout, thanks to the inclusion of Sram Pod Controllers and the absence of through-headset cable routing.<\/p>\n

Diving deeper into the specs, the Sram-powered Repeater takes things up a notch with an extra 10mm of travel, now boasting 170mm both at the front and rear. This results in a slightly more progressive ride compared to its Shimano-powered counterpart. It’s important to note that the Repeater PT doesn’t replace the Shimano-powered model, so riders have a choice between the two.<\/p>\n
When it comes to geometry, the disparities between the older Repeater and the new Repeater PT are relatively subtle, maintaining a consistent chainstay length while introducing a slacker head angle at 63.5 degrees. Adding to its versatility, the e-bike features a flip-chip at the lower shock mount, offering riders the flexibility to opt for different configurations to suit their preferences. Furthermore, the Repeater PT boasts a relatively steep seat angle, a feature that stands out, particularly in larger frame sizes, where the seat tube angles are even slacker. This design choice accommodates the added rearward bias that naturally accompanies a taller saddle height.<\/p>\n

For added versatility on the trails, riders can make the most of short seat tubes, allowing them to use long-travel dropper seat posts. As a bonus, the stock configuration includes a 170mm RockShox Reverb AXS dropper seat post, ensuring a smooth and adjustable riding experience, requiring just the flip of a switch to lower or raise the saddle depending on the terrain.<\/p>\n
On the performance side of the equation, the Sram Powertrain system built into the Repeater PT impressively delivers 90 Nm of torque, reaching a peak power output of 680 W. Additionally, it’s equipped with a substantial 720 Wh battery, noteworthy though it’s worth mentioning that the battery is non-removable.<\/p>\n
The 2024 Transition Repeater PT is available in two distinct models. First, there’s the $11,999 XO AXS model, which offers top-tier features. Then, the $10,499 GX AXS model is another attractive option, providing an excellent balance between performance and affordability. Both versions showcase a full carbon frame and the Sram Eagle Powertrain system, coupled with the high-capacity 720 Wh battery, making them remarkable choices for the adventurous rider.<\/p>\n
