Transition Ripcord
Description
Take your kid to the next level
The Ripcord has been taking kids to the next level for years, and this redesign will surely turn it up to 11. The Ripcord has evolved to share the best features of Transition adult bikes, utilizing the brand's Giddy Up linkage design and vertical shock layout. With 130mm of travel, riders have more capability and forgiveness in bike parks and for sidewalk kickers alike. The ultra low standover inspires confidence and fits a wider range of riders with a 365mm reach, 65 degree headtube angle, and 395mm chainstays. The new frame has internal dropper post routing and comes equipped with a dropper from the get go.
Features
