The new 2009 Blindside is taking over the top spot in the Transition Bikes lineup as our largest travel bike. Designed to be quick and easy to throw around with just the right amount of travel. The bike is extremely versatile with DH friendly geometry like a lower bottom bracket and slack headtube for railing corners at high speed. We
also desinged this bike to shine in freeride environments like Whistler where you need a bike that can handle any situation. From steep technical rocky sections to massive drops and jumps, the Blindside can do it all.

Pros
Superlow bottom bracket. Quite flickable, ever for those of us who stay rather close to the ground. It's really confidence inspiring on drops and jumps.
Cons
cheap paint
Review
The bike is super stable in the rough stuff, but still remains responsive to rider input. It has excellent flight characteristics. There is no slow down in this thing. It always seeks more speed in the corners. Pedaling through corners however, is not advised. If you are looking for a "hang and go" gravity sled, look somewhere else. If you are hunting a bike that is fast, controllable but still requires the ride to ride it, give this puppy a good long look.
