Transition Bikes unveils the new carbon Covert. See the bike in
action as well as some of the new features and design inspiration that
went into creating Transition Bikes first carbon bike.
The 2013 Carbon Covert is Transition Bike’s first carbon frame
offering. The 160mm travel Covert was the perfect candidate to bring to
carbon as it allowed the bike to shed weight, improve strength, add new
features, and update the look at the same time.
“In my mind, this bike really represents the ultimate no holds barred
quiver killer. It's really everything I would want in a single
do-everything type of bike and we've tried pretty hard to ensure all the
right features are there without including things that don't really
matter. A big goal of ours with this project was to develop something
with very unique lines that you don't often see in bicycle frame
design...and we feel we've really accomplished that. This was a long
development effort so we're pretty pumped to finally unveil our first
carbon frame.” Says Kyle Young, Transition Bikes owner.
Transition Bikes took the essence of the previous Covert but started
from the ground up to produce something all new and extremely exciting.
For design inspiration they looked outside the bike world towards
Italian super cars. The carbon material allowed a no compromise design
approach that allowed them to achieve exactly what they envisioned;
powerful lines and a unique bold look. The frame uses some exciting new
materials and an evolved suspension platform for the best possible
performance on the trail.
