| Features | Hydro II Tubing: Hydroformed 6061 aluminum-alloy frame tubing engineered to tune the flex properties of a frame with high precision, providing stiffness or flex exactly where desired and maximizing frame performance. Hydro II is our second generation engineered shape tubeset which provides lighter weight tubing with similar strength and ride qualities as the previous generation.
Marin Race Geometry: Frame layouts optimized for competition and hard efforts, placing the rider in the most efficient position for pedaling and steering inputs. Longer effective top tube and shorter chainstay lengths put you in a more stretched out pedaling position, and keep the rear wheel closer to your center of gravity for sharper handling.
Tapered Head Tube: As bicycle forks evolved, the diameter of the "steerer tube" of a fork, and the "head tube" of the frame (which houses the steerer tube and headset) have steadily increased. Years ago, forks were fairly standard at a 1" steerer diameter. This increase to 1-1/8" (also known as OS) in the 90's, and even 1-1/4" and 1.5" sizes became some what common. In particular, 1.5" was used on Freeride or downhill frames due to the inherent increase in strength that comes from the larger diameter. But there were some problems, 1.5" forks required very large head tubes, and were heavy. As the sizes evolved, it was realized that using a tapered steerer tube would offer up the best of both worlds. Marin uses tapered forks that have a 1.5" lower diameter, but then taper to a 1-1/8" upper diameter. This reduces weight, but keeps very high strength where it's needed, at the base of the steerer tube, where it meets the fork crown. This type of tapered fork greatly increases stiffness and strength, while keeping weight to an absolute minimum. Unlike many other companies, if a Marin bike has a tapered head tube, it also has a tapered fork, to take maximum advantage of the technology.
