- After months of waiting I finally received my new Transition Patrol XT build!
I am beyond stoked on the new bike. It's exceeding all my expectations and I can't wait to get some more seat time.
Transition has done it again!
Check me out on IG! @spencross

Smashing right out the gate 💥
Thank you homie!
YES! I have a size large patrol and while I’m still recovering from a summer crash on my last bike but I’m super loving this and looking forward to pushing hard in the spring
You're going to absolutely love it man! The more I ride it, the better it gets!
what height are you and how does the large feel weight wise?
@@peterphelan4617 I’m 5’11” and the large is the right fit for me - a nice mix of sporty/snappy and stable.
Hi, are you from the US? If so, where did you order it?
@@jdirarrazabal14 Yes, I’m in Seattle area and ordered it from the Transition Outpost, their HQ, in Bellingham. Their facility is super cool: bike shop, food trucks, great selection of beers, great vibe. Right across the street from excellent riding trails.
sick riding.. enjoyed the whole video
Thanks man, that means a lot. Appreciate ya!
Awesome!! so cool
Trails running fast💪
Super fast! Hopefully mint after some rain 😁
I really enjoyed watching you ride. I hope I'll be able to ride as good as you someday.
Thank you!
What a sweet trail. I'm getting a MD Patrol. Can't too rip up the trails.
Sick trails 😬
Some of the best!
Damn this was the bike I really wanted but couldn’t find anywhere!!! Not even for a test ride. Rad review brother
Thank you man! I’m super fortunate to get one.
@@ROZAY305BOSS did you sell your other bikes! I agree I enjoy Shimano brakes more but I am getting used to SRAM. Also, welcome to the mullet life it’s RAD!
@@RadDadLife I'm in the process of selling the other bikes now. Loving the mullet life!
@rad dad life I'll be selling my large frame shortly...with only a few easy rides on it. Keep your eyes open for my PB ad!
@@johnnnewmex Why are you selling yours?
Nice review what camera/stabilization/ mount are you utilizing? I keep getting a lot of camera shake form a hero 9 on a chesty over big hits
Thanks Nick. I use a GoProMax on a stuntman chect mount. I've used the chesty as well, and the Stuntman mount is far superior.
You really should make more videos. Good stuff!
Thank you! I’m working on it, definitely a lot more to come in 2022
great looking bike!
i ordered an alloy spire in medium and i was wondering what bottle u were using because i heard that the 600ml fidlock wont fit
Thank you! I’m using a 550ml Fly Elite water bottle that fits perfectly
Sick
Thanks man!
Thanks for the vid. Im thinking I might got for a size small as well. You mentioned you are running a 150mm one up post. Is your post all the way slammed to the seat collar or is there a lot of post sticking out? Do you think someone that is 5'8" could get away with a 160-170mm dropper post. I like the idea of a smaller bike to be more playful and I have a shorter inseam. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it! My dropper has a bit of post showing, because the patrol seat tube is just so darn low, only a 120mm dropper can be slammed all the way to the collar. If I were you, at that height I would definitely get the Oneup 180mm dropper because you'll have the option to shim it down to 170 if necessary. If you check out my Instagram, I've got plenty of pics of the bike as it is now with the 150mm dropper.
@@ROZAY305BOSS Sweet, just check out your IG, yeah that seat tube is super low, it looks like you have it slammed as much as you can, since the tube sticks out a bit does it get the seat low enough for you so on the downhills it's out of the way? I live in CA as well. We should ride sometime, Im always riding in Tahoe in the Summer and got some fun stuff around the Pinecrest area I could show ya. How far is Pinecrest, CA from you?
@@whoisadam The seat is definitely low enough, I actually have the seat raised up a bit because if I slam it, it's too low for my liking.
Pinecrest is a few hours away but I'd love to come check it out!
@@ROZAY305BOSS Sounds good, thanks for all this info. Perhaps we shall ride together one day and I can check out the Patrol in the flesh. Im riding a 2020 Remedy, but Im wanting more travel. I bought a remedy in 2015 and have gotten 3 new bikes from Trek, they got good customer service, I break the bike every 2-3 years :). Can check out some pinecrest riding in my best of 2021 edit - th-cam.com/video/2ANz6KrBHbw/w-d-xo.html
I'm 5'8 and medium almost feels too small.. when seatpost is down all the way my knees hit my arms
Thanks 👍
No problem 👍
wow! that's the Lexapskov by himself! Huge respect from commuty! We love the vids you are making!
btw, it's nice you are looking for this bike - looks like it is preatty good!
Hey a few quick questions brother, do you feel this bike is slacked out too much? Did you ever feel the bottom bracket is too low? I live in northern nj and we have a lot of really tight, rocky trails, so i was wondering about the maneuverability and bottom bracket height.
Thanks! Sick video
Hey man, thanks for the comment!
I feel that the bike as it comes, 160/160mm travel is just perfect. I ended up changing out the air spring in the fork to 170mm and didn't really like the result. The bike became a bit too slack for me and I intend to change the travel back to 160mm.
The bottom bracket isn't too low at all. I run the flip chip in the "high" position and haven't had any BB strikes at all.
Hope this helps out, if you have any more questions feel free to shoot me a DM on IG.
Cheers!
Nice video man! I have the Spire and am stoked on it. Trails look awesome, where are you located?
Thanks man! They were running prime up until this snow storm we're getting now. I'm in Northern california
Cool vid! In your opinion is it worth paying extra for the XT spec over Deore?
Honesty, the price of the Deore build kit is hard to beat!
I'm really partial to the 38 and the X2, but the main reason I went with the XT, is the availability.
My advice would be to grab the Deore build, save some cash and upgrade down the line if you feel its necessary.
Love to see reviews from a short persons perspective! The Patrol looks awesome too, just a straightforward burly fun bike. I'm kind of cross shopping the Patrol, Process X and a Nomad. I'm leaning towards the Patrol though.
Curious what dropper comes with the size small, is it a 125? 150? Do you feel like it could use a longer one?
Nice! Appreciate the feedback! The Patrol is a rad bike and I'm sure you'd be happy with it.
It came with a 125mm dropper which I swapped out for a 150mm and it's dialed now!
Hey Kari, any update on what bike you chose?
@@ROZAY305BOSS I actually ended up going a different direction and got a really good deal on a V3Santa Cruze 5010. But here I am a year later looking at Patrols and came across your video again. The 2022 frames are on sale right now, I'm contemplating buying an alloy one and building it up with coil suspension front and rear. Basically a replacement for my DH bike that I can still pedal when I want to.
@@karip1126 That's going to be a rad setup! I actually have my patrol set up full 27.5, single speed and rear brake only.
nice riding bro
Thank you!
Great riding brother and awesome bike! Looks hella fun! I fall in the same height range myself. Have you also tried riding the Spire and if so, which of the two would you recommend? Cheers
Hey there Leo, thanks for the comment. I haven’t tried the Spire, but I’ve heard nothing but good things. The went with the Patrol because it’s a mullet and has the perfect travel for all my local trails. I think you’d be happy with either of them!
how heavy is your size Small bike brother?
@@leosingson8440 I wish I could tell ya, but I haven't weighed it.
@@leosingson8440 seems to be ~40g between med and small, so small xt build should be about 15.3kg (33.7 Lbs)
thanks for sharing bro? where R U riding? it looks beautiful! I'm a mouse click away from ordering this medium, but I've been on a 30lbs carbon trance for the past two years and I'm just worried about going back to aluminum....do you feel the extra weight? how does it climb. I do mostly backcountry so 50/50 mix of up and down...
I'm riding in Northern California. I don't really feel the extra weight, the bile climbs pretty darn well. If you're super concerned with weight I would probably go for the Spur. It's a super capable bike that's light enough for all your back country needs!
@@ROZAY305BOSS man, I got to get Norcal someday. Spur is way to little travel :( I'm assuming they'll come out with a carbon version of the patrol within a year or two. I might just hold out.
@@bikeninja956 If carbon is what you want, have you considered the sentinel?
@@ROZAY305BOSS I want it, but my wallet doesn't, they're all sold out anyway...lol
I have a spur. It’s an amazing bike, however its quickly out of its depth when things get steep and rough. I’m looking at the Patrol as well to cover all my riding. Which by the looks of it, it should!
whats your height ??? and the frame size
Have you rode the new Bronson MX? curious to know how these two compare. Also what is the trail name in the intro?
I haven't ridden the new Bronson but I've heard great things!
Such brilliant riding! Enjoy that bike. I’ve got a 2020 patrol in small 😊 what handlebar width do you run?
I'm running a 750mm OneUp Bar and love it. Patrol crew!
@@ROZAY305BOSS thanks bud. I fall into the same height range and wanted to get an idea of what people normally run. I think I run my bars too wide and high time I shorten mine. Thanks for the info! Enjoy shreddin
@@ki77u_freerides68 One of the best changes I've ever made is trimming my bars down. I previously was trying to run 780mm bars and after watching several videos with Richie Rude, Jesse Melamed and Remy where they were discussing their bar width, I decided to trim mine down. You won't regret it!
@@ROZAY305BOSS It’s just about being brave enough to make that cut! 😁
I'm looking at the patrol and I'm between sizes at 5'6", should I go S/M?
Thanks,.nice ride!!!
Thanks man! Totally depends on what type of riding characteristic you're looking for. Want some thing more playful? Go small. Want something more stable at speed go medium. Personally, I would go medium.
I just have to ask idk if it’s the e camera angle or settings but what width do you run your bars at?
I run my bars at 750mm
It looks like the bars are backwards to me too.
@@danielray1558 Odd, I guess with the gopro wide angle + the 35mm rise bars + the bars being cut down so short, they appear backwards. lol
@@ROZAY305BOSS Thanks- hope my comment didn’t come across wrong. Great video and I appreciated the review.. there aren’t tons out there. Nice riding!
@@danielray1558 haha no worries man. I'm going to be putting out another long term review soon with some of the changes I've made.
i think your bars are on backwards
They certainly are not hahaha
This is a bike I have considered to upgrade to , would you recommend it ?
100% if you’re looking for a fun bike that’s insanely capable, this is the one for you!
youר filming content like people with over 1m subs wow love the video
Good video man - was looking into the patrol but coming from a carbon bike I'm scared of the extra weight. Probably adding 2lbs to my ride. Curious if you noticed that weight difference much or even a difference in the way the bike handles with the lack of stiffness in the frame through turns.
Honestly man, I didn't notice any difference at all. The bike climbs well and is exceptional through the turns.
@@ROZAY305BOSS Nice! Yeah I went from an Alloy Rocky Mountain to a carbon pivot firebird.... thinking of a change and whilst the pivot is hard to beat I'm toying with the transition. Geo is so similar to the pivot - only a few millimetres and degrees in it. Like the idea of a more durable frame but the weight factor is the only other thing I'm considering, thanks for taking the time to give the feedback!
@@NextLevelRiding The geo of the patrol is so bang on for me, its exactly what i was looking for. If ya can throw a leg over one and see if you even notice it.
@@ROZAY305BOSS no dealers near me. Would have to gamble with an online order. Unless I find someone who has one. Cheers.
Extra weight the patrol carries won’t make a single bit of difference.
How do you like your Patrol? How do you like it compared to your Nukeproof Giga? Love your content bro. Get back up to Washington State/The PNW.
Thank you man, I appreciate the comment! I love them both, but the patrol is definitely more my style. it's a lot more poppy and playful and doesn't feel like a tank on the trail. The giga is a great bike and took me to a lot of cool places but the patrol is here to stay. I need to get back up there.
@@ROZAY305BOSS I'm glad I found this comment. I'm looking to upgrade my Yeti575 trail bike to a Patrol, Giga, or Pivot Mach6. Top choice is patrol and I found a few deals on 2021 smalls (5'5"). Excited to go check it out.
@@Chrisbrown503 check it out man! I'm sure you'll love it.
Hope to have one, new subscriber here😊
Oh this trail looks so sweet. I know you’ve said this is in northern CA. Could you share the name or Is this a secret trail? No worries if it is, my brother moved up to San Jose and it would be cool to ride this when I visit if it’s close by. Thanks and great video!
This trail is about 3.5 hours North of San Jose my man. A great little zone.
Mobbing
🤘🤘
😻
Where were you riding in this video?
Northern California my man
Sublime riding! You ride pro?
🤣 I wish! Thanks though, I'll take it as a compliment! 😁
How does this bike climb?
Slow n steady.
Coming from a Yeti SB150, this bike definitely feels slightly less efficient. That being said it gets up the fire road and short techy climbs just fine!
Hit the nail on the head!
What’s the travel of your dropper?
In this video it was the stock 120, but I later upgraded to a 150mm
@@ROZAY305BOSS thanks. I have the medium frame and I couldn’t decide if I should get a 125mm or 150mm
@@ROZAY305BOSS dropper is the only thing left for my new bike build but I don’t want to mess it up 😅
@@rezanspeaking At least a 150, you could honestly fit a 180 dropper in a medium frame. Thats what I would go with.
@@ROZAY305BOSS thanks! Will definitely consider a longer travel. Probably 175mm of fox transfer
