Once you start Klunking, you can’t stop.” Says Transition Bikes Owner Kevin Menard.”

It’s got no suspension, only one brake and just one gear but the Transition Klunker still looks bloody good fun!
The lads at Transition don’t take themselves too seriously and have made a great edit featuring their Chromoly Klunker, some moustaches, some beers and some dogs.

They say: “Transition Bikes is proud to announce a giant step backwards with their latest bike. The Klunker features absolutely no technology and is in no way optimized. 4130 Chromoly, moto handlebar, DH tires and a coaster brake are all the features you need to rip your favorite trails or cruise downtown to grab a beer.”



Coming in at 32 lbs for the complete bike, the Klunker is incredibly lightweight for a Klunker. Another thing that is lightweight about the Klunker is the price at $549 for the complete bike. Two color options are available, Party in the Woods Matte Black and Klunking Isn’t Free Eagle White (with checkerboard toptube and crossbar pads).
