Marin Bikes Mount Vision Alloy XM7 (2014)

The Mount Vision Alloy XM7 gets the same lightweight aluminum/carbon frame as the XM6, but features an upgraded Rock Shox Reba RL fork and Fox Evolution CTD rear shock. Other upgrades include a wide range Shimano compact 2x10 drivetrain and new Deore hydraulic disc brakes. Easton's new XR 27.5 wheelset has a wide rim profile to improve the footprint and traction of the Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.25 tires, and the KS Dropper seatpost make transitions between up and down as easy as the push of a lever.
