XC bikes are designed to ride fast on the trails. These bikes perform exceptionally well on the climbs and are highly nimble. The Marin Team Marin 2 Bike is built with the privateer XC racer in mind, ready for evening hot laps and weekend race days. It has a superlight aluminum frame that uses 120mm of travel on the front. The frame features full internal cable routing, Boost spacing, internal dropper post routing, and tire clearance for up to 2.35 tires. The Team Marin 2 comes with a Shimano XT/SLX 12-speed drivetrain. This includes a cassette that has a hill-crushing 10-51T gear range that makes climbing and pedaling through rough terrain a breeze. The TRP G-Spec FMR hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent stopping power so you can descend with confidence. Aluminum tubeless-ready rims are paired with Maxxis Rekon Race tires that can be set up tubeless for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flats. With the TranzX Dropper Post, youll be able to quickly lift and lower your saddle with the press of a lever.
