I’ve just bought a 2022 Scout to go alongside my 2020 Patrol and the overriding view remains the same, Transition make great bikes. Couldn’t be happier with the two bikes that I now have.
I'm currently riding a 2020 patrol that has been custom built from the ground up. gx axs on shimano cassette and chain, carbon cranks, carbon frame, fox 38 and a dhx2 with a cane creek progressive spring etc etc. it weighs atleast 37-38 pounds. It doesn't climb well but like you said, no bike really pedals "well" unless youre on a cross country race bike or a super light hardtail. i've come to the realization that no matter what bike i ride, if the bike suits my riding style then it is very likely gonna be awful at pedaling but I don't really care as long as i have fun on the downhills. Last weekend i did a big enduro race for the first time ever and it was 23 miles of riding, 4k vert gain and all of it was done on my patrol. It wasn't super easy but then again, no matter what bike you're riding, you are going to be exhausted at the end of a day like that.
Yeah they're probably my favorite MTB channel going right now. I hope they get sponsored, but since they're not it's all very unbiased. Also appreciate how they don't edit out their spills. For the life of me I don't get how they don't have a higher sub count. Thinking maybe cause they don't ride the more popular trails/parks that people are searching for (Whistler, Moab, Sedona, etc).

I've just got my first set of Shimano SLX 4 pots, I will never go back to sram brakes. Drivetrain tba but shimano brakes are everything I always wanted myguides to be.
Thats because you're coming from Guides. Literally the shittiest brake of the decade. Code RSCS blow Shimano 4 Pots out of the water. As do TRP DHR Evo's.
@@jaredgulaga8367 I own M7120's and my dislike with Shimano brakes is the wheel locks up anytime you touch the brakes. I'm going with Code's next season for the modulation. Anytime I let a friend try my bike, they are always thrown off by the fact the brakes are either on or off.
@@testtesttesttesttest884 More modulation, yes. Power is dependent on the model. Saints have more power then a RSC. Although power is irrelevant if it’s uncontrollable. Gotta disagree with you on the bleeding portion. Shimano doesn’t require a 100 dollar bleed kit and mineral oil is undeniably easier to work with.
Excellent review. Went with Commencal (Meta AM) over this one cause of availability. Paint issue is a bummer, I'd RideWrap it but that's a pretty small issue. And agree about the XT being better with brake pump. Had my bike at Mountain Creek with my RSCs and after 2 days I was hurting pretty bad. My bike was in the shop so grabbed a rental with XTs, WAY more comfortable.
Curious on your height, inseam, reach and the feel on sizing (more than the bike’s geo). Great review and share on the way the bike(s) feel. Thanks a tonne!
Th as that’s very good to know about this bike! I have considered this bike bike as upgrade to my hard tail! I very glad to hear the good things about this bike !
Interesting to hear your take on the XT stuff, I am going from XT to SRAM Code RSC's and GX AXS with my new Wreckoning. Only one short ride in so far, so can't compare just yet. I can tell that the Codes are not as sensitive, we'll see if I end up liking that or not. I can say the GX AXS is sick though, outside getting used to the shifter.
@@gabrielsegura1530 Not enough time on it so far, but it is butter smooth and the fact that it moves out of the way on impact should hopefully diminish chances of damage. Plus you can micro adjust individual shift points so you do not have that one gear that seems to not shift right. Charge only takes about 1 hour and lasts 20-ish riding hours per charge, so I do not think it will be a big deal (I do have a second battery just in case).
Fellow evil owner here (following), I love the shimano drivetrains and XT brakes for trail use but the Code RSC’s are way better for enduro/DH in my opinion. They handle the heat better, havent tried AXS drivetrain yet.
I've tried almost every top end dh brake on the market and have come to like the code rsc's the most. Stock rotors overheat a bit fast so I run magura mdrp 220's and it's the best i could have wished for. Oh, and when you bleed them, I would say don't follow manufacturer recommendations If you want a solid bite point.
Fine ass bike. I nearly bought one, went with a 22 Levo because like you say pedaling sucks ass. I'm still tempted to buy one as I'm missing an analogue bike now
Shimano brakes are great with how crisp they are. But, having that breakpoint float around on you during a critical point in the trail will freak you out. It will change randomly in either direction and it will completely interfere with your focus when you notice it. A few pumps usually rectifies it, but depending on the timing, it could be dangerous.
My Rallon came stock with the XT brakes and I almoooooost had the shop switch them over because I wanted RSCs but I'm super glad I didn't. I love them to death and have no reason to use any other brakes. Also, with the paint, welcome to the terrible world of owning a matte bike. Like you said, luckily for you, you can just get it repainted. I can not, which drives me absolutely insane. Wont ever get another matte painted bike again. That being said, sick bike bud!
Thanks bud!! Not a huge fan of matte paint. Wish bike companies would spend a little more and get all bikes finished with a nice clear coat… my enduro was matte and the paint held up wayyyy better than I expected and way better than this paint
I'm planning on building a Scout Alloy and I would definitely do a custom paint as I don't like the color color options. I wouldn't worry about the bearings. The rubber gasket Specialized uses don't help much at all. Bearings still get dirty and dry after some time.
nice review buddy! thank you. I love your take on pedaling, I feel the same way haha. I think Transition has just been crushing it with their industrial design, the lines on their bikes are PERFECTION, I can't see how a pedal bike could be made any more beautiful, Commencals coming in a close second. So do you do any longish climbs? that's the only thing keeping me from springing for these alum frames, just weary of that weight for the type of riding I do, which is a mix of everything.
Better at giving more ass clearance on the steeps. No more butt buzzing on the tire. Worse at carrying speed and getting through big braking bumps. Bike only really gets more nimble on a mullet bike if the chainstay shortens too
I have been wanting to go to a Mix wheel style bike set up. Every video I’ve ever seen when it debates between 27.5 and 29 the 29er is always faster and then they always debate the mullet versus the 29er for speed but they disregard the fact that Some people ride 27.5 they really enjoy it being nimble but also because I’m 5’5 so having a rear tire that’s bigger doesn’t give me the ability to move around as much.
7 months later and a new season how has your option changed? Bearings ok etc. I ended up buying the silver(raw) bike so scratches wouldn’t be an issue l.
Nice vid! I’m planning on getting a patrol in either the gx or xt build kit as my first full suspension mtb. Would you consider this a good all around bike i can take on big descents, tech, tight twisties, and even climbs? Or would something like the sentinel, scout, or spire be a better choice? Not sure if you have experience with either of those bikes, but your opinion would help. Thanks! Keep up the awesome vids!
Their whole line up can do all of that well in my opinion so you can’t go wrong with any. I’d say a sentinel or patrol would be your best bet though if I had to choose
@@Blake_Cherubini Does the mixed wheeelsize really turn and maneuver better than a full 29er? As a 5’8 rider i feel like the mixed wheelsize would be super beneficial, which is why the patrol catches my eye the most out of their lineup. Are there any real noticeable drawbacks to a full 29er?
It’s less about maneuverability for me than it is about clearance. I buzz my ass on the tire quite a bit on a 29er but rarely ever on a mullet setup. If you’re going for maneuverability, probably focus more on chainstay length. Shorter chainstay and overall wheelbase should give better maneuverability
Pros of carbon for me is that they are typically lighter, stronger/stiffer, and have a lifetime warranty. I used to go through several alloy wheels a season from dents. I’ve only ever cracked on carbon rim and it was 100% my fault. Only con is that they are pretty expensive
Hey I’m curious, I ride an xl 2021 patrol xt and I’m 6’2. I love if although sometimes I think something a little shorter would be nice. You’re on the large, so how tall are you?
I'm currently on a v2 Sentinel, but been considering the Patrol for a more nimble / playful ride. Do you have any insight on how the 2 compare? Not too concerned with the weight difference.
Pay more attention to chainstay length and wheelbase rather that just a smaller rear wheel. Not really going to get a drastically more playful bike by just adding a smaller wheel. You will get more ass clearance though. Shorter chainstay/wheelbase will make it more nimble/playful. Saying this because depending on what size Sentinel you have, the Patrol geo is extremely similar
I went from a large v1 sentinel to the new mullet patrol size large. The wheelbase on my new patrol is a hair longer, but I’ve found that in many situations it feels more nimble. That being said, it’s not like the difference you’d find going from a dh bike down to a mid travel trail bike. Main difference was the feel mid-corner; I feel like the patrol wants to stay leaned over and finish out the turn while I had to fight the sentinel to keep it from bulldozing straight ahead. I can still feel the length of the patrol when trails get awkward and twisty though. The patrol is very playful for a big enduro bike, but it’s still quite stable and wants to go fast. That is the exact type of bike I was hoping for so I’m very happy, it’s everything good about my v1 sentinel minus the negative aspects (poor suspension platform, and it was hard to get around corners; the patrol fixed these while maintaining the ride qualities I liked about the sentinel). If you just want playfulness and wouldn’t mind losing 10mm of squish I’d also recommend checking out the scout, which is a very capable bike as well.
@@quinnsmith5617 Great info thank you. My v2 sentinel is a medium and I'd go for the same on the Patrol. Same wheelbase in the low setting and shorter chainstay on patrol. Also been considering the scout but I think it may be a bit undergunned for my purposes.
@@Blake_Cherubini Riding a medium Sentinel, ass clearance is definitely an issue. Not a big issue but it's there. The shorter chainstay is what I like about the Patrol. They are really close on paper though so may be worth it to just keep shredding the Sentinel. Thanks!
5600 for alloy bike a is a killer price? dont get me wrong, i have expensive bike too, but I wouldnt say 5600 is a killer ..... if you said carbon Vitus with same components for 5K is a killer, then yeah maybe, but not this...
@@Blake_Cherubini Best clip less shoes on the market I love mines!, they let you put the cleat a lot further back so coming from flats background that are awesome

The Spire comes with a 30T chainring, my guess is the Patrol is the same. That being said this bike needs a 32T chainring to be just a normal pedaler. Maybe the BB it’s so low that Transition specified a 30T?? I was hoping that to be mentioned on any Spire/Patrol review but they all seem to avoid the obvious.
Looking for a Transition bike? Our guys over at Roll Bicycles have some more coming soon! Patrols, Sentinels, Spurs, and Scouts! DM us for more info!!

MTX brake pads. No arm pump. Reds for great stopping. Golds for the best 1 finder braking power around. Highly recommended!
