They just posted pics!!!
















i love the redesigns on the trail bikes esp with internal dropper routing and the shorter seattube lengths on the covert!!! they def hit a homerun!

as for the tr450...Just stunning!! It brings back the essence of the reason I fell in love with Transition. It's just that bike you can throw anything at and choose however you choose to build it, it'll be awesome!

Maybe Giant can't afford to make 26ers, 29ers, AND fight DW at the same time... :D

Looks like the leaf spring fork does not have any offset (=rake), resulting in very large trail. Must handle quite differently compared to normal forks with 40-50mm of offset.
Of course it will handle differently because it doesn't have any real damping system either, but that's another story :D

It's pity the shape of the fender is wrong :D
It doesn't protect upper legs :|

that fender is nothing like the DVO.
Alright, sorry. Cut 3/4 of it off so it does 1/10th of the protection, and then it's the same thing. It's a fender that bolts to the crown. Just because it's carbonz and made by DVO doesn't change that somebody else did it first!

white bros still had a pulse? :confused:
they have/had the loop fork, which is virtually identical but 32mm, and they're still trying to push old Groove 200s out the door.

Are you kidding me? They absolutely RUINED the 450 imo. I can't even put my finger on what they've done to it, but in my eyes it's gone from kick ass to horrendous. 2/10, would not bang.

In another note, the top right Giro helmet looks rad!
