Strengths: It looks pretty, and will catch air nicely.Weaknesses: It is heavy! It's not a bike but a tank. It will not roll over anything, but through it. the brakes are sketchy at best and the front fork can't handle out of seat pedaling. I had to max the pre load to get it stiff enough to handle tech trails.Bottom Line: its a great beginers bike, or a great hill trainer.
Favorite Trail: three sisters
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month

from Nor CalDate Reviewed: July 13, 2011
Strengths: Excellent frame and build quality that you can expect from Marin. Very basic, but functional components. Perfect for upgrading when components break or needs replacement. The front fork by SR Suntour is nothing close to acceptable and heavy and should be replaced at sometime, but then the bike is priced accordingly.Weaknesses: Tektro crap that came with bike.Bottom Line: The bike handles well and looks great. However, the clearance for the rear wheel is tight and will limit putting anything bigger than Conti Race King that comes with the bike. Also, the front derailer is attached with the problem solver on seat tube, which tends to move sideways after few hundred miles and needs adjusted when on trail. Overall, a great bike.
Favorite Trail: Too many to list
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Price Paid:
$860.00
Purchased At: Sports Chalet
Bike Setup: BB7 with SD7, Thudbuster LT, Brooks B17, Ergon GR2, SPD540, Front - Schwalbe Racing Ralph/ Rear- WTB Vulpine
