What the suspension and geometry mean for your ride

The Transalp E-Clutch is built around long-travel suspension, spoked wheels, and adventure-friendly geometry. Below is a practical breakdown of the key chassis components and how they translate to stability, comfort, and control.

Transalp long-travel front suspension

Front suspension

Up front, the Transalp uses a 43mm Showa® SFF-CA inverted fork with 7.9-inch travel. In real terms, that travel helps the bike stay composed over broken pavement, potholes, and washboard dirt roads.

  • Inverted fork design supports precise steering feel
  • Long travel improves comfort and traction on rough surfaces
  • Adventure-ready stance for mixed terrain
Transalp Pro-Link rear suspension

Rear suspension

The rear uses a Pro-Link® Showa® single shock with 7.5-inch travel. The linkage helps the suspension feel supple early in the stroke while offering support as loads increase—useful when you add luggage or a passenger.

  • Linkage-style response for varied road conditions
  • Helps maintain stability when the pace picks up
  • Confidence when carrying gear
Transalp brakes with ABS

Brakes & ABS

Stopping power comes from dual 310mm front discs and a 256mm rear disc, with ABS listed for both ends. For San Diego commuting and weekend canyon rides, ABS can add a layer of control when traction changes unexpectedly.

  • Dual front discs for strong, predictable braking
  • ABS support on variable surfaces
  • Balanced feel for street and light off-road use

Wheels, tires & stance

The Transalp is equipped with spoked wheels and an adventure-focused tire setup: 90/90-21 front and 150/70-18 rear. The 21-inch front helps roll over uneven terrain, while the 18-inch rear supports traction and durability.

How to choose your setup

If you’re planning mostly street miles around San Diego with occasional dirt roads, the long-travel suspension and ABS-equipped brakes are a strong all-around foundation. If you’ll carry luggage often, pay attention to rear-suspension support and tire choice—both can make a big difference in feel and confidence.

  • Commuting + weekend rides: prioritize comfort, stability, and predictable braking.
  • Light off-road exploring: the 21-inch front and suspension travel help with ruts and rocks.
  • Two-up or loaded: rear suspension behavior matters most—plan for added weight.
