Demo Day: Transition Regulator SX on Galbraith Flow Trails

Описание: I've been interested in how a lightweight e-mtb would feel after learning how to ride on Galbraith with a full-power Levo and no-power Sentinel. So, finally demoed Transition's recent Regulator SX to give it a shot. TL;DR: A lot of fun.

I would say the Regulator feels more like the Sentinel than the Levo when it comes to jumping: I feel more responsible for where my momentum is taking me. Unfortunately Transition doesn't offer factory demos of the CX (full power) in an XL size, so I can't compare to that. (As of writing.) It would be interesting to try some rooty trails with the heavier bikes' inertia to see if it makes them feel smoother over bumps. In any case, this isn't really a review, just some notes by a relatively tame rider.

I need to get my Levo fixed up and wheel back out there. This is the most I've ridden these trails in a short period of time, and I'm sure some of the Regulator fun was from simple familiarity.

And whew, creaky! But I'm guessing that's to be expected for what this demo bike has probably gone through.
