"Back in 2006, Transition Bikes revolutionized the industry with the Bottlerocket, a bike that blended disciplines, unlocking the doors to freeride progression. Today, Transition is resurrecting one of the most legendary mountain bikes in the perfect way. It's rare to see a brand bring back an old favorite without totally reshaping what was loved about the original, and Transition is clearly listening to athletes and fans when it comes to bike design."
"The all-new Bottlerocket was designed around the progression from BMX to MTB, the evolution of trail building, and the increasingly vibrant culture of freeride. The 100% pure freeride-focused model is proudly dual 27.5-specific, and the same frame can be run with either 180mm or 200mm rear travel. Available in single-crown or dual-crown builds, and featuring numerous additional details that make this the pinnacle of modern freeride."
"The all-new alloy Bottlerocket frame features multiple adjustment options, enabling riders to achieve the exact feel they are looking for in a modern freeride bike: the C.H.I.P.S. and S.A.L.S.A system. This new take on old tech, found on the new Bottlerocket, features a 4-position lower shock mount that offers independent high and low geometry positions, along with linear or progressive kinematic positions,"
Transition revived the Bottlerocket as a 100% freeride-focused bike that maintains its BMX-to-MTB progression roots while adding modern adjustability. The dual 27.5-specific frame accepts either 180mm or 200mm rear travel and is available in single-crown or dual-crown builds. The alloy frame incorporates the C.H.I.P.S. system, a 4-position lower shock mount delivering independent high/low geometry and linear/progressive kinematics without extra parts. The S.A.L.S.A. system provides a UDH-compatible adjustable chainstay length with +5 and +10mm settings, extending to 446mm. The design emphasizes freeride progression, athlete input, and preserving the model's heritage.
