2025 Transition Scout Alloy vs 2026 Forbidden Reya Tier

The S1 is the Forbidden Reya Tier size closest to your XS Transition Scout Alloy. We match frame stack and reach. This is a geometry comparison, not a fit recommendation; stem, spacers, handlebars and saddle setup also affect your riding position.

What changes on the Forbidden Reya Tier

Compared with the Transition Scout Alloy in XS, the Forbidden Reya Tier in S1 places the top of the head tube 21 mm higher and 25 mm further forward, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 10 mm longer, which can contribute to stability at speed.
