TRAIL READY SUSPENSION

SHIMANO CUES 1X11 DRIVETRAIN
The Shimano CUES 1x11 drivetrain simplifies your ride with a single chainring and intuitive shifting. The clutched rear derailleur and narrow-wide chainring keep the chain securely in place, even on bumpy terrain, minimizing chain slap and reducing the risk of dropped chains. The wide-range 11-48t cassette provides ample gears for tackling the climbs.
HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES
Tektro M280 hydraulic disc brakes give you reliable stopping power in all weather conditions. These brakes are easy to use and require less hand strength than other types, so you can stop quickly and confidently on any trail. The larger 180mm front rotor provides additional stopping power for steep descents.
FUTUREPROOF WHEELS
The Marin double-wall aluminum rims are tough and tubeless-compatible, meaning you can upgrade to tubeless tires in the future for fewer flats, more grip, and a smoother ride but the stock WTB Trail Boss Comp tires offer excellent grip on dirt, so you can confidently explore new trails.
