Marin strengthens all-mountain line

The cult brand from California has some interesting bikes in its range for 2014. Two of these are the "Attack Trail C-XT PRO" and "Mount Vision C-XM PRO" models for the all-mountain and trail sector. Both models come with 27.5-inch wheels

.

The "Attack Trail C-XT PRO" signals Marin's return to the longer travel market. The 150 millimetres of suspension travel are controlled via the in-house "Quad Link 3.0" suspension system. At the front, a 160 millimeter suspension fork absorbs the shock. In combination with the 27.5-inch wheels and the 66.5 degree steering angle, the all-mountain bike is predestined for enduro use. Other features for rough use are the impact protection on the down tube and the mount for the chain guide.

The carbon top model is equipped with a Rock Shox "Pike RCT3" fork and Fox "Float X" shock absorber. Sram's 2x10 drivetrain is used for the gears. The crankset as well as the tubeless wheels and the shiftable chain guide come from eThirteen. The "Attack Trail" will be available in two full carbon models and one aluminum-carbon model.

The "Mount Vision C-XM PRO" manages with just one centimeter less suspension travel. The 140 millimetres of travel are linked via the new "IsoTrac" suspension system. Together with the steering angle of 67.5 degrees, the bike is more for the trail sector with reserves for rougher use. The front also features 140 millimetres of travel. An interchangeable bottom bracket platform allows the rider to adapt their bike to single, double or triple cranks.

On the top model, Marin installs a complete XX1 groupset from Sram, a Rock Shox "Reverb" dropper post and Formula Engineering 27.5-inch carbon wheels. The aim is to keep the weight of this bike low. The "Mount Vision" will be available in three full carbon versions and two aluminum-carbon versions in the entry-level price range. In addition, a full carbon model with a geometry adapted to female ergonomics will be added to the "Mount Vision" line.
