Transition Repeater Carbon XO axs Review

Sram is aiming to elevate system integration in E-Bikes to a new level with its own Eagle Powertrain engine. For this, the Americans are technically relying on hardware from the German manufacturer Brose and mainly scoring points with innovative software that completely relieves the rider of the need to shift gears through its Autoshift function. If desired, the 12 gears of the Transmission drive can still be manually shifted. As is customary with Brose motors, the Eagle Powertrain motor operates very quietly. The power development is $dynamic and the 9 Nm torque takes the fear out of even the steepest inclines. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the Repeater Carbon XO axs are no problem.

Even nasty descents get smoothened by the good Rock Shox chassis. The frame on entry-level was stingy with control. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. Thanks to the solid power, the SRAM brakes can be counted on in the upper class segment. With four pistons and big brake rotors, Transition won't take any chances in that area. The narrow #reifen_inch_breite Schwalbe tires do not do this Enduros range of use any justice. In our opinion, Transition has saved weight in the wrong place here. The components and the gears are less in the spotlight with an EMTB than with bikes without motor. Nevertheless, when we take a look we find out that here, good components are always used. The 63,5° angle low head tube angle gives the Repeater Carbon XO axs increased stability at higher speeds. For the very good geometry, the developer team of Transition definitely deserves props. Such a knack for detail in geometry is rarely seen.
