Review: 2007 Transition Double
Monday, June 25th, 2007
If you’re in the market to get a new dirt jumper we have a bike review you should check out. We’ve spent some extended time on Transition’s newest DJ oriented bike the Double. It’s a nice flickable bike with a small amount of travel to smooth out rough landings. To find out what we thought of the Double, check inside.

Thorough review, 34lbs seems a little beefy, not too bad though, I like the crop of snappy short travel bikes coming.
a question on the holy rollers. How did they behave over the course of the test?
I picked up a HT with 2.7 highrollers and it’s stupid whoever put them on there, so I have a set oh HR’s coming. any issues with them washing out in dusty condition?

Yea its definitely a little portly but there’s gobs/tons of areas to cut significant weight. It doesn’t feel heavy at all and i didn’t have any issues with tossing it around.
The HolyRollers are great. They’re perfect for dirt jumping and groomed courses. They’re not excellent for very dry conditions, but maybe a 2.35 Kenda Small block 8 or Maxxis Larsen TT would be perfect for you. Its a really great tire as well for 4x/dj bikes and hooks up quite well in typical dirtjump / dusty conditions if you find the holyrollers not up to par.
