New Transition TR450 2013 Prototype

Sunday, October 13, 2013


The Covert 27.5's head angle is 66 degrees, almost a degree slacker than the 26" version of the all-mountain machine. (The 26" version will still be available). Chainstay length remains unchanged at 430mm, but the seat tube height has been lowered to better accommodate dropper posts. Plus, for the vertically gifted riders out there, an XL size has been added to the lineup.
There were a number of Anvl components hanging off of the prototype Transition TR450, including a direct mount stem, flat pedals, and a complete wheelset. The ARC Direct Mount stem fits bars with a 35mm center diameter, and is claimed to weigh in at 110 grams with hardware. The 6061 aluminum ANVL tilt pedal is 14mm thick and is designed so that the foot sits evenly without being tilted up by the bearing bump that extremely thin pedals often have near the crankarm.
