Sonder Transmitter
Transmitter is no longer in production. If you're after that same hard-charging character, look at the Sonder Signal. It's the closest match in the current range: an aggressive hardtail built for fast singletrack and big mountains, in steel or titanium, now on 29" wheels.
Sonder Transmitter
Transmitter was our original aggressive 27.5" hardtail, the bike that started Sonder alongside Camino and Broken Road. Swap stories and get advice from other Transmitter owners in the Sonder Bike Owners Group on Facebook.
