Marin Bikes have some new offerings for 2014 that we take a look at inside. Aimed at Trail and Enduro athletes these bikes are designed to work for racing as well as trail riding. Both feature a 650b/27.5″ wheel and you can watch the videos to learn more about the differences between the Attack Trail and Mount Vision.

• 27.5” Platform
• IsoTrac Suspension – Is a linkage actuated single pivot suspension system. A new Marin suspension system that replaces heavier and less durable pivot bearings with continuous-fiber carbon-monocoque flex points, which work with a shock linkage to control big-hit capabilities.
• FRS DownTube Rock Shield
• Suspension Sag Indicator
• Stealth Dropper Seatpost Routing

The Mount Vision line is designed and built for epic super-D/enduro racing, where riders need the geometry of a trail bike but the weight and efficiency of a cross-country (XC) bike. These models offer long-travel suspension, with 140mm of fixed travel front and rear, and 27.5-inch wheels. Design features include a build that’s significantly lighter than our Attack Trail bikes, achieved with a simplified suspension system, fixed-travel 32mm chassis forks, and lighter components.

Internal routing on both Attack Trail & Mount Vision - Production version will also include sealing

• 150-160mm travel

The Attack Trail is designed and built for more classic all-mountain riding, with 150-160mm travel full-suspension chassis, and design features including low, slack geometry, short chainstays, smart component selections, and 27.5-inch wheels built with 21mm rims and 2.35-inch tires.
