Marin Bikes Rocky Ridge 7.4 (2014)

The Marin Rocky Ridge 7.4 brings all of the things that aggressive trail riders need, in a simple, lightweight hardtail platform. Trail geometry by the numbers: 67.5 degree headtube angle, 420mm chainstay, 27.5"-wheels and a roomy rider compartment. Through axles front and rear keep things in line, while the radically angled seat tube gives the top tube extra length when the seat is up fop climbing and XC riding, and shortens the cockpit when the seat is lowered to keep your weight over the front wheel. Rock Shox covers the suspension duties up front, a 1x10-speed Shimano drivetrain, e13 chain guide, and Shimano M445 hydraulic disc brakes keep things within limits on the up and down.
