About this product
The SPECIALIZED TRANSITION COMP is a 2012 model triathlon/time trial bike constructed from carbon fiber, offered in a small frame size. It features 700C clincher tires and is equipped with Sram Rival components. This bike utilizes mechanical rim brakes and derailleur gears for shifting, with no suspension. Additional features include an adjustable seat, bottle cage, and a lightweight design, making it suitable for competitive racing.
Our take
This 2012 Specialized Transition Comp is an attractive option for someone looking to get into triathlon or time trial events without a massive investment. The carbon fiber frame is a huge plus for performance and comfort over long distances, and the Sram Rival groupset provides reliable shifting. The small frame size is key, so make sure it fits. While mechanical rim brakes are effective, they won't offer the same stopping power or modulation as modern hydraulic disc brakes. Overall, it's a solid, well-equipped carbon bike for its age, especially with its lightweight features.
