Get ready to ride, UK! Transition Bikes Demo Days are back for 2026! We are running a very similar schedule to 2025, with events from as far south as Hampshire, to as far north as Aberdeenshire. Whether you\u2019re itching to rip on a Patrol, power up the climbs on the new 100nm Bosch powered Regulator, or just see what all the buzz is about, these events are your chance to test our bikes in their natural habitat. Expect a laid-back vibe, expert advice, and plenty of good times on two wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this page you’ll find our current demo day schedule for 2026. We’ll update it once more dates are arranged, so stay tuned for details on where we\u2019ll be visiting, and how to join the action!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24th to 26th July at Ard Rock Enduro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ard Rock Enduro is one of the UK\u2019s most iconic mountain bike events, held in the stunning Yorkshire Dales. Known for its challenging natural trails, festival atmosphere, and breathtaking scenery, it attracts riders from all over the country and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The event features timed enduro stages on private land not usually open to the public, making it a rare and exciting experience for participants.

We’ll be there all weekend, with our Transition demo fleet. We’re being joined by \u00d6hlins, so we’ll have a full display of forks and shocks, along with a wealth of technical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n
