Date Reviewed: June 23, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Full Monte | | Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only | | Strengths: | Easy climbing seated or standing. Fun and flick-able on the way down. | | Weaknesses: | A bit of creaking | | Similar Products Used: | Trek EX-9, Gary Fischer Hi Fi. | | Bike Setup: | Stock. | | Bottom Line: | I regularly ride a Nomad, but recently had the opportunity to demo a few different XC bikes (see above). The Marathon climbed as well seated and much better standing than the others, but was in a league of it's own on the way down, not plush but confidence inspiring, feeling more like a 4X bike than a XC bike. The Shimano discs made for one finger braking, the Nevegals dug in, and the Odi lock-on grips are a small but important detail on a bike I could easily add to my quiver. (note: I don't know how much it costs, so my value rating doesn't mean much). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
