Marin Launches The New Mount Vision
Mon 4th Mar, 2019 @ 3:30 pm
Marin Mountain Bikes Inc. has announced the introduction of the Mount Vision, the next Marin model line to feature the R3ACT–2 Play suspension system from Naild, following in the footsteps of the critically-acclaimed and award-winning 2018 Wolf Ridge.
The Mount Vision models embody the true spirit of mountain bikes, designed to make the climbs effortless and the descents mind-blowing. Equipped with 27.5” wheels, and 150mm of travel front and rear, a perfect balance of suspension playfulness.
“We’ve built upon what we learned with the extraordinary Wolf Ridge to create what we feel is the best and most unique trail bike that the market has ever seen. With leading-edge geometry and a playful, poppy attitude, we are confident that the Mount Vision will even surpass the level of excitement that the Wolf Ridge achieved.”
– Matthew Cipes, Mountain Bike Product Manager at Marin
Where the Wolf Ridge was designed with a wide range of intended use, from cross-country trail to enduro, the Mount Vision has a narrower focus, emphasing the all-mountain and enduro portion of the mountain bike landscape.
