a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: March 16, 2013 Strengths: Super stiff. Very fast over washboard or trail chunder. Active but climbs really well even on smooth climbs. Superb contemporary geometry . it's a freeride bike back in fashion. Can run 650B up to Neo 2.3 in the rear. Nice gold pearl over frog green paint job. Weaknesses: Frames a bit heavy for those short steep climbs. OEM fox shock set up is a bit too progressive. That head junction reinforcing is very retro and ugly. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 years. Similar Products Used: Reign Meta 5 Meta 6 Bike Setup: High volume RT3 Rev 150 or EXM 150 or Float 140

from Antelope, Ca Date Reviewed: May 24, 2010 Strengths: Well built bike, comes with great components all the way around for the price. handles great quad link suspension with fox rp23 shock works really well. Hayes stroker brakes do an awesome job of stopping front and rear Weaknesses: only problem i have found is 20mil front axle takes some work to pull out of rock shox fork. I have read other reviews where testers hit their knees on the quad link I have not had an issue with this when the seat is fully extended, with the seat dropped my knees rub the links if im sitting down, which isnt an issue since when the seat is dropped im standing up and desending or jumping Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: pioneer trail, grass vally Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $2800.00 Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: 2009 cannondale rize 5 Bike Setup: all stock swapped out stock seat post for a crank bros joplin 4

from Collegeville, PA Date Reviewed: October 29, 2009 Strengths: The quad link system is the laterally stiffest frames I've ridden. Really eliminates rider induced movement in the linkage if the rider stays seated. Weaknesses: For the price point the headset was sub par but other than that, very solid parts mix. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Merli Sarnowski Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: Ellsworth Moment, Giant AC2, Trek Liquid, 05 Wolf Ridge, Santa Cruz Nomad. Bike Setup: Stock except for King headset and upgraded to the lighter Nevegals in 2.35.

from Danbury, CT Date Reviewed: August 15, 2009 Strengths: Suspension design is incredible, climbs like a goat, heavy-duty craftsmanship, great components spec, feels much lighter than the scale says, THE COLOR IS KILLER! Weaknesses: Crappy headset, fork plays a little and was cut too short for my liking, caliper post in brake came bent and Marin doesn't stock the part b/c it was a custom make for this bike, but, intentionally, there is little wrong here.

from Golden, CO Date Reviewed: April 18, 2009 Strengths: The Pike is great because you can change the travel, It's good for climbing and xc riding Weaknesses: The swing arms bulky and hits your knees when you pedal over rough stuff, not a very good jumper but i only jumped it a couple of times because the next day i blizzard hit and i couldn't ride it in time before i returned it, needs bigger rotors Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Blvd. In Winter Park Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Purchased At: Demoed at The Bike S Similar Products Used: Treck Remedy, Kona Stinky Bike Setup: Stock
