2022 Transition Spur X01 Eagle Bike
The Good

A rewarding pedal on the way up and an absolute blast on the way down. Way more efficient and capable than you'd think. Solid value. Great customer support from the Transition team

The Bad

Bolts have a tendency to come loose so keep to keep an eye on them No UDH (but there is that on the new one)

Overall Review
Over the last few years, I feel I've drifted away from my prior love or pedaling and trail riding and ended up just craving shuttle days and ebiking fire roads.
