The Marin Team Marin 1 is a modern cross-country hardtail crafted for riders who want the agility and efficiency of an XC race bike, with enough control and confidence to take on aggressive trails and technical descents. Whether you're toeing the start line at your first XC race or chasing PRs on local loops, the Team Marin 1 is your lightweight, responsive, and trail-capable companion.

The foundation of this trail machine is a Series 4 6061 aluminum frame, engineered for stiffness, minimal weight, and precision handling. Featuring progressive XC geometry, the frame combines a long reach with a short rear triangle and low front end, giving you razor-sharp climbing prowess and excellent stability at speed. Boost 148 spacing, internal cable routing, and 29” wheels enhance strength, cleanliness, and long-term upgrade potential.

Up front, the RockShox Judy Silver TK fork provides 120mm of plush, trail-ready travel, equipped with Motion Control damping for smooth response across rough surfaces and full control through technical terrain. Paired with Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes and oversized rotors (180mm front, 160mm rear), you get reliable stopping power whether you're braking late into corners or navigating sketchy descents.

The drivetrain is built around the tough and trail-proven MicroSHIFT Advent X 10-speed system, known for its crisp shifting and simplicity. With a clutch-equipped rear derailleur and wide-range 11–48T cassette, you'll have all the gearing you need for punchy climbs and long fire road descents. The Marin-forged alloy crankset with a 32T narrow-wide chainring ensures secure chain retention and low-maintenance performance on any terrain.

This hardtail rolls confidently on Marin aluminum double-wall rims and Vee Tire Co. Rail Rocco 29x2.3” tires, delivering the perfect balance of grip, speed, and durability across trail surfaces. A game-changing addition at this price point, the TranzX dropper post (31.6mm) gives size L riders a major advantage when descending or navigating steep technical features—rarely seen in XC bikes at this level.
