Expirience with the Transition Spire Alloy GX

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on moderate runs, the Transition Fully really comes into its own. With a flat 62,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. When it comes to the seating position, Transition chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. All in all, in the on moderate runs category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry.
