Transition TR250 Prototype

Building on the success of their TR450 DH bike, the TR250 aims to take everything good about the TR450 but scaled down for bike parks, jump trails and more technical/tighter DH courses. Transition had this to say:

"What this amounts to is a more "playful" feeling DH bike. The TR250 has adjustable travel between 160 and 180mm and designed to match up to the single crown fork of your choice in those travel settings. We maintain the adjustable geometry found in the TR450 for head angle and BB height but also add chainstay length/wheelbase adjustment via the dropout. We wanted to have a shorter rear end option to make the bike perform better for jump trails while still giving a longer wheelbase option for high speed racing scenarios. The TR250 frame is .7 lbs lighter than the current TR450 and will come stock with a Fox DHX RC4. Frame also features a 12x150 rear end with a 83mm BB. Full product launch will be at Eurobike with full geo and pricing to follow. Availability should be around late January/February 2011."

As seems to be the running theme at Transition, it's a handsome bike and like the TR450, it proves DH bikes don't have to be ugly!
