At 57 years old, I’m not waiting another 2-3 years! Just got the alloy NX version after test riding as many emtbs as I could. I’m aware of all the negative press of the Fazua, but it seems ever other motor brand has problems so in the end, you just gotta go with what you like. Don’t wait, because life is short

Thanks for the review! I will be probably buying the next iteration of Transition Relay or something with Bosch SX motor within a couple of years.

hey thanks for making these vids on the relay

Thanks for making an honest review. its hard for people to not defend their purchase by saying it's the best bike ever. I also really wanted this bike as I love the Patrol and would like an ebike version of it but transition price this way to high. Hopefully the next version retains the removable battery option as I like that but it really needs to refine everything if their gonna charge that much

I’ve been moderately happy with my transition relay. I also have mine set up in the mullet configuration. I agree the door for the battery could’ve been done a lot better that door makes a lot of noise. I have actually ridden my bike a few times without the battery and I thought it wasn’t badlike you I think this bike is about 70% there but they still got about 30% to make it a really good bike

Great vid, also have a Relay PNW and like it :) nevertheleass needed a new motor right out the box, now 1200km in w/o issues. Battery/door no issues so far, just needed to apply assemble paste to the motor/frame conract screwing points because of creaking, but this solved it. How many km/miles you have on the clock?

Which bike park is that? It looks really fun.

Sounds like you need to adjust your battery clip for a more secure hold, I had to adjust mine when I got the bike but no issues since which was probably 800 miles back

Definitely a learning curve going from my 2nd gen analog SC Heckler to this 2024 Trans Relay. No regrets but it will take some time learning to carve turns and get it off the ground. It's a very planted and stable bike for sure, but thats not a bad thing. My biggest complaint is for the money spent, the Fazua ring controler is a fiddly mess of poor engineering amd execution. Dirt easily gets inside which mucks up the magnetic controls and needs cleaning frquently. Otherwise the ring gets stuck in either up or down position. Im told there's a newer version. Same basic design but with bigger magnets for more robust operation. The newer version has a glossy finish vs the matte on the current ones. Honestly i like the ring concept, but not if they cant improve the functionality and reliability. Overalll though, its an excellent choice in the SL category. Especially the PNW build for my style of riding.

Do you have a slight rattle that appears to be coming from the battery area, I notice it more in the chatter not so much on smoother jump trails
