Transition Bikes 

"Have a good time, all the time" - Viv Savage/Spinal Tap

Transition Bikes are all about one thing – having a damn good time on two wheels.

Born in the Pacific Northwest, Transition has built a reputation for making bikes that are seriously capable, without taking themselves too seriously. From playful trail bikes to full-blown downhill machines, every Transition is built with the same idea in mind: bikes should be fun to ride.

They're the kind of bikes that make you want to take the long way home, hit that line one more time, or squeeze in another lap when your legs are already cooked.

And let's not forget the groms! Transition makes some seriously epic youth bikes too. The Ripcord and Bandit aren't just scaled-down kids' bikes – they're proper little mountain bikes, built to give young riders the confidence to push their limits, progress their skills, and have an absolute blast on the trails. Something we're pretty passionate about here at Bike Culture.

What we love about Transition is their no-nonsense approach. Smart design, dialled geometry, great suspension performance, and bikes that feel just as good getting sideways as they do charging through the rough stuff.

Here in Rotorua, that's exactly what we're looking for. Whether you're chasing laps in the Redwoods, sending it on Taniwha, or just getting amongst it with your mates, there's a Transition built for it.

Good bikes. Good times. That's Transition.
