The mixed wheel Patrol has a new haircut, but it is still down for anything and is truly unapologetic when it comes to shredding trails!
The decision was made at Transition that is was about time to update the Patrol, one of their longest standing models and they had a job on their hands to make this one better than the last. This isn't the first time that Transition have opted to fit a mullet setup and this just amplifies the Patrol's character and ability.
Updated geometry to accommodate the 29" front / 27.5" rear wheels and revised suspension tune might just make you ride all day, and then all night. Jibbing, jumping, pumping and hooting your way down the trail, the updated Patrol loves to party. From bike parks to your local trails, the Patrol isn't concerned with where you ride but rather how much fun you are having.
