How it compares
200 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 200 mm median of the 16 bikes in the “downhill bike” category in our database. Unusually, the rear end offers 211 mm – 11 mm more travel than the fork. Among Transition’s mountain bikes, the Transition TR11 is the model with the most fork travel. Transition builds the frame from aluminium.
At €6,699 for the Alloy GX build, pricing is typical for the category (median €7,100). Transition uses RockShox suspension throughout.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Boxxer Ultimate): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Shock (RockShox Vivid Ultimate DH): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
Target SAG for the Transition TR11
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Transition gives its own target SAG, use that.
200 mm fork, 75.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 34 mm | 24 % = 18.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 40 mm | 28 % = 21.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 44 mm | 30 % = 22.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 40 mm | 27 % = 20.2 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.40″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. Stock tyres: Maxxis Highroller III 3C MaxxGrip DH (2.4) / Maxxis Highroller III 3C MaxxGrip DH (2.4).
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
