Marin Team Marin 2 Mountain Bike 2026 - Hardtail MTB
If you’re looking for XC speed without sacrificing trail capability, the Marin Team Marin 2 hits the sweet spot. At its core is Marin’s premium Series 4 aluminium frame, offering a lightweight, responsive ride with geometry dialled for fast-paced cross-country riding and the versatility to handle modern trail features.
Key Features:
- Series 4 alloy frame with internal routing and progressive XC geometry
- Fox 34 StepCast fork with 120mm travel and Kabolt axle
- Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain with 12-speed wide-range cassette
- Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes, 180/160mm rotors
- 29” alloy rims, tubeless ready, with Maxxis Rekon Race 2.35” tyres
- TranzX dropper post with remote lever for on-the-fly saddle height
- Short stem and wide bars for confident trail handling
- Available with 0% APR finance
Up front, the Fox 34 StepCast fork with 120mm travel adds stiffness and control while staying lightweight thanks to its slimmed-down chassis and Kabolt thru-axle. It’s an ideal match for the frame’s capable attitude, whether you’re flowing down singletrack or sprinting for a finish line.
Shifting is sharp and reliable with a Shimano XT rear mech and SLX 12-speed shifter, paired with a wide-range 11-51T cassette. The 1x setup keeps things simple while delivering plenty of gearing for steep climbs and fast descents.
Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes with a 180mm front rotor deliver strong, confidence-inspiring braking, while 29” tubeless-ready wheels wrapped in Maxxis Rekon Race tyres offer fast rolling and dependable grip on dry trails.
A TranzX dropper post is included as standard—something you don’t always see at this level—offering extra control on descents and technical sections. The cockpit is finished with a short 35mm stem and wide 780mm riser bars for agile handling and control.
The Team Marin 2 blends racing pedigree with playful trail manners—an XC machine that doesn’t shy away from rougher terrain. Whether you're lining up for your local race series or heading out for fast-paced trail loops, it delivers big fun at a privateer-friendly price.

* Mountain bikes are sized differently to road bikes. Typically, they are sized in inches as the first MTBs were produced in the USA. European brands like Lapierre and Haibike like to use centimetres for all their bikes. The measurements of their mountain bikes doesn’t match their road bikes but are like a simple conversion from the inches measurement. This is why we have included cm measurements in brackets for the Mountain bike column.
Read our bike size guide for more information on sizing.
