A transport bifurcation model for enhanced reverse shear (ERS) mode recently observed in tokamaks is given. The model includes effects due to evolution of magnetic shear and bootstrap current. It is shown that these effects substantially reduce the power threshold for ERS transition. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
