Impact with bumps makes most suspension systems redirect a bike's rear-end momentum upward rather than forward. Marin East Peak is too smart for that.
- East Peak employs the Marin Quad-Link XC 2.0 System to guide the rear wheel in a manner that optimizes obstacle clearance and efficient forward motion
- First, upon impact a swingarm instantly increases the bike's overall wheelbase, allowing the front end of the bike to continue forward uninhibited
- Next, the swingarm efficiently moves the rear wheel over the obstacle
- Because the wheel remains in contact with the terrain, it follows the shortest, fastest path to rejoin the front end's forward momentum
- Swingarm and mainframe tubes are shaped using a hydroform process that optimizes overall weight and enhances strength at critical joints
- Employs Fox rear shock with rebound adjustment; front fork uses Marzocchi suspension with 120mm of travel, preload and rebound adjustment and lockout
- Shimano performance shifters and derailleurs provide smooth, instantaneous shifting through all 27 speeds
- Truvativ triple chainrings and Shimano nine-speed cassette provide gearing options for any terrain
- Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic brakes, designed for X-C use, let you ride fast with the confidence you can maintain control no matter what's on the trail
- Features Mavic rims, for hardcore X-C performance that won't weigh you down
