We made the Team Marin to be lightning-fast, super composed in the rough-and-tumble of spicy singletrack and perfectly in control up, along and down. It packs all the roll-up-your-sleeves tough of a trail bike and the zip you’d expect from an XC racer to perfectly blend speed with fun. Because who said XC had to be so serious?!
Champagne dreams on a cola budget. The Team Marin 1 brings XC-racer performance to a privateer price-point, all whilst staying super fun and super capable in the singletrack.
We started with a high-end Series 4 aluminum frame and fast-rolling 29” wheels and then added a capable RockShox Judy Silver fork, 12-speed Shimano drivetrain, Shimano hydraulic brakes and Vee Tire rubber to create a super fun, super affordable XC trail shredder.
