Transition Spur V2 First Ride Review | A Classic, Reimagined

Is the 2026 Transition Spur V2 still the benchmark for aggressive short travel trail bikes? When the original Spur launched in 2020, was ahead of its time with its rather aggressive geometry for a short travel trail mountain bike.

We’ve been logging in miles on the new Transition Spur V2 ahead of its launch. In this review, we break down what’s changed, how the updated geometry and build come together, and how the Spur V2 rides compared to its predecessor. Is this still the do-it-all short travel trail bike riders fell in love with, or has the update changed its identity? Here are our first impressions.
