With the Wolf Ridge, the enduro bike with the innovative Naild rear triangle, Marin had already created an innovation sensation this spring. But the cult brand from California can also produce bikes for smaller riders: With the Hawk Hill Jr, Marin is launching a fully for trail-enthusiastic youngsters. With air suspension elements and 120 millimetres of travel at the rear and front, the bike features pure adult technology, but thanks to 24" tires, the kids can really get going on the trail. With internal cable routing for the dropper post and the same internal cable routing for the rear derailleur, Marin's product managers ensure that the Hawk Hill Jr has a clean appearance.

There's something going on: 24 and 26 inches

A particularly interesting feature of the kids' bike is the option of converting to 26-inch wheels after the 24-inch wheels; the fork and rear triangle offer sufficient installation space for this. So that the search for suitable wheels is not too cumbersome or even impossible, 135 mm wide axles fit in the rear triangle and the dropouts allow adaptation to a 142x12 mm thru-axle.
