Description

The Demon Tweeks eBay Outlet store is offering a great deal on the 2023 Transition Smuggler Carbon GX Full Suspension Mountain Bike (M 17''-18''). This versatile bike is perfect for tackling trails, uplifts, and cross country adventures with ease. With 29 inch wheels, 130mm/140mm travel, and a comfortable, confidence-inspiring geometry, the Smuggler is ready for any terrain.

The Smuggler is positioned between Transition's Spur and Sentinel models in terms of travel capability and geometry, combining the best aspects of both bikes. It offers a spritely ride with more travel, making it a perfect blend of the Spur and the burlier Sentinel. This makes the Smuggler suitable for any type of riding.

The bike features a Smuggler Carbon frame with 130mm rear and 140mm travel, 29" wheels, a Fox Float 34 Grip Performance 140mm fork, and a Fox Float X Performance 2-Position 130mm travel rear shock. It also comes equipped with a SRAM GX/NX 12-speed drivetrain, SRAM Code R hydraulic disc brakes, a OneUp dropper post, and Maxxis Assegai EXO+ 2.5 front and Dissector 3c EXO+ 2.4 rear tires.

The Smuggler has a few frame design features that make it easy to service and maintain. The headtube area has integrated bearing cups, eliminating the need for headset cups to be pressed into the frame. This allows for clean cable routing from the headtube to the port above the bottom bracket shell, keeping cables hidden from view.

Other features of the Smuggler include clearance for up to 2.5" tires, 140mm front and 130mm rear travel, drop-in headset bearings, internal cable routing, size-specific chainstays, 27% progression, a gear accessory mount, UDH (SRAM's universal derailleur hanger), 5 sizes to choose from, and a lifetime warranty.

The Smuggler also features Transition's GiddyUp suspension system, which is designed to provide a great balance of support and small bump sensitivity. The anti-squat is tuned to enhance pedaling performance and acceleration, while still allowing the suspension to work when needed. The bike has a wide usable sag range of 25-35%, allowing riders to customize the feel of the bike.
