VANQUISH GX components
Fork

Wheels
The VANQUISH GX 2018 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Transition VANQUISH GX is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
VANQUISH GX comes in 3 sizes, that range from 164 cm – 200 cm (5.38 ft – 6.56 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
