Expirience with the Marin Team Marin 2

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on long tours with lots of trails, the Marin Downcountry-Bike really comes into its own. When it comes down to handling, Marin does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Marin Hardtail is ready for the majority of singletrails. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
