Transition Smuggler, Starling Murmur, Pivot Shuttle LT, & More

The most interesting segment of the current mountain bike market just might be the 140–150 mm travel Trail bike range, with huge diversity in the on-trail performance and feel of the various options available. And so we sat down to chat about a bunch of the very different bikes in that class that we’ve been spending time on recently, including the Esker Rowl, Trek Fuel EX, Ibis Ripmo V2S, and the Starling Murmur. And we also touch on our impressions of the new Transition Smuggler and Pivot Shuttle LT, too.TOPICS & TIMES:Esker Rowl (1:55)Trek Fuel EX (11:06)Ibis Ripmo V2S (17:50)Starling Murmur (24:10)Transition Smuggler (28:28)Pivot Shuttle LT (32:53)RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+Become a Blister MemberBlister LabsThis Week’s Gear GiveawayBlister Mountain Bike Buyer’s GuideOUR OTHER PODCASTSOff The CouchGEAR:30Blister PodcastCRAFTED Hosted on Acast.
