Do you have any pics of said maneuvers?I'm able to better jump/hop over stuff and change direction quickly.
Do you have any pics of said maneuvers?
One thing I care about is turning. I really like feeling as if I am in the bike when turning. You know when the front or rear looses traction and its easy to get them back in line with body English. Conversely, I hate feeling like I am on top of a bike no matter how plush it is. Not sure if that makes sense, but I'd love to get some feedback on its cornering, I guess.So I've been on my 2012 450 since April almost every weekend and absolutely love it. First off its a very comfortable feeling bike, very balanced and "natural", they nailed it on the geo. My first run and I felt at home. I came off a 2012 Wilson and the first thing I noticed was the TR's ability to change lines with ease and kind of hop around. The bike will really reward you the faster you go, it almost feels like it starts riding "on top" of the trail rather than "through" stuff once you hit a certain speed. Really a cool feeling. Seems like everyone has summed up its jumping capabilities, very balanced in the air. Every bike does have its downside, though the 450's is negligible. It is slightly rougher on square edge hits than other bikes such as V10, Wilson, etc. And the rebound knob is kind of annoying to get to as well. Oh, and its sexy as f*ck Hit me up with any other questions, i'll try my best to answer!
from where i am standing it looks like you are cargo short 'steeze'ing' your way into a full blown nose dive flat landing on a bike that has nothing to do with the OP's post? but hey who am I.
Normally, you could only throw this kind of steeze on an AM/trail bike, but I can now pull this sh!t on my DH bike...Winning
Yet you're selling it you little gear w***e!I have had my 2012 TR450 since march-April time. I love it. Built with dorado, Sunringle add expert, saint, formula, minions. The works mainly. Sick build. It's weighing in at 38. It's Deffinatly strong and beefy. No way your braking them. I am 5'9 and riding a small this year. Granted I hit a major growth spurt this season but its still awesome. Really little and flick able. I raced mine and its plowed rocks and ate up everything. It's jumped awesome and soared in the air. Ate big bumps as well. Cornered really well and pedaled amazing. I wouldn't ride it XC, but it hauled on flat sections. I love mine
I have a full review typed up
Yes. 2011 frames saved about 0.5lbs from 2010 frames. The 2012 frames went from 17.5" chainstay to 17.25" chainstay with an adjustment +/- 0.25". We also lengthened the front center by 0.25" to keep the total wheelbase the same in the middle setting.If memory serves, the main differences are the adjustable chainstays and it's supposed to be a little lighter.
What particularly do you want to know? I've had two now, the original model and the 2012 model. Awesome bikes, good geo, good suspension, simple to maintain with standard bearings on the pivots.
Only negatives I've found - the rebound dial on the RC4 is a pain to reach while the shock is in the frame and the chainstay chips on the new frame make wheel changes fiddly. I've only had the 2012 for a month or so now, but I rode the 2010 model for about 2 years and loved it.
geo chips are the main change.friend is thinking of getting a 2010 tr450. remind me what the changes were for 2012?
I have a small TR450Toodles nailed it, I have had mine since June and I love it.
geo chips are the main change.
My bike has made me feel much more confident in jumping, and skipping, and hopping and turning and pedaling, and all sorts of other good stuff.
I'm not really fast, but the bike makes me feel faster. I really like it.
I am shopping for a small sized tr450 for my fiance now.
Small, raw TR450 on transitionbikes.com for $1874.I am shopping for a small sized tr450 for my fiance now.
as a dealer in the past, and a rider of their product now, this needs to be restated. hell of a company for guys that like to ride their bikes hard.The other bonus of owning this bike is that Transition has great customer service.
