Transition has offered a brand new Repeater eMTB, powered via the SRAM Powertrain. It’s an evolution of the Sentinel-inspired eMTB they introduced in 2022, handiest with extra shuttle and a fairly extra competitive set of geometry numbers.
Adoption of the SRAM motor and its accompanying AXS Transmission componentry makes this eMTB one of the crucial feature-packed available on the market, with an appealingly clutter-free cockpit because of the usage of SRAM Pod Controllers. And (hooray), there’s no thru-headset cable routing.
Main points at the new Repeater beneath. However first, do take a look at Aletha Ostgaard striking the Repeater thru its paces. The fifteen yr outdated is a emerging celebrity of Downhill, having not too long ago taken 2d position at america Open, overwhelmed handiest via the Syndicate’s Nina Hoffmann. Good stuff to come back from Aletha, I think.

First up, the SRAM-powered Transition Repeater does no longer displace the Shimano-powered Repeater that debuted closing yr.
The SRAM-powered and Shimano-powered Repeater eMTBs aren’t worlds clear of one every other. On the other hand, the Powertrain-equipped motorcycle does have 10mm extra shuttle, at 170mm entrance and rear. It’s marginally extra innovative, too, with 26.6% total development as opposed to the EP8-equipped motorcycle that has 26%.
There isn’t lots of distinction at the geometry entrance both. This is a little slacker with a 63.5° head perspective. Chainstay duration stays unchanged at 455mm around the board, with succeed in at 425mm, 455mm, 480mm and 510mm at the S, M, L & XL, respectively.
That stated, that is the extra flexible of the 2 eBikes, with a flip-chip on the decrease surprise mount. That is supposed as a geometry-correction flip-chip, permitting the rider to make a choice from a whole 19″ configuration, or the increasingly-popular MX configuration. In the meantime, the Shimano-powered Repeater of 2022 is meant for 29″ wheels handiest.
The Repeater’s seat perspective is rather steep, at 78.2° at the measurement massive. Bucking the fashion, Transition has given the bigger body sizes slacker seat tube angles. That’ll imply the extra rearward bias that naturally comes with a taller saddle peak can be compounded at the Repeater. I suppose, that’s no longer one thing to get too hung up on for the reason that that is an eBike, and there’s a 90 Nm torque electrical motor between your legs.
Seat tubes are quick, permitting riders to use lengthy shuttle dropper seat posts. That implies more space to bounce across the cockpit when issues inevitably get further amusing. That stated, inventory builds launching these days get a RockShox Reverb AXS dropper, so 170mm is the restrict out of the field.
SRAM Powertrain
The Transition Repeater is one in all handiest 3 eMTBs available on the market to boast the SRAM Powertrain, the others being the 2024 Nukeproof Megawatt, and the GasGas ECC. Propain has additionally published (on socials) {that a} new Powertrain-equipped Ekano is incoming.
In short, the SRAM Powertrain, powered via Brose, is a 90 Nm torque device with 680 W top energy. Transition run a 720 Wh SRAM battery in all body sizes. The battery will also be charged at the motorcycle handiest; it isn’t detachable.
Paired with XO AXS and GX AXS Transmission, the SRAM Powertrain device delivers further options like auto-shift and coast-shift. The previous shall we take or depart. The latter? Extremely excellent.
Certainly, on the Summer season Motorcycle Connection tournament in Andalo, Italy, we examined the Powertrain, and its auto-shift and coast-shift purposes, at the Megawatt – see our first experience impressions right here.
