Marin Bikes | 2023 Team Marin 2

Race-ready speed with modern XC trail capability.

The Marin Team Marin 2 is a high-performance aluminum hardtail built for riders who want lightweight climbing efficiency, modern trail confidence, and race-focused responsiveness in a capable 29er platform.

Built around Marin’s Series 4 aluminum frame, the 2023 Team Marin 2 combines progressive XC trail geometry, a lightweight Fox Step-Cast suspension fork, modern boost spacing, and Shimano 12-speed performance into a hardtail designed for fast trail riding, technical climbs, and cross-country racing. Unlike traditional XC hardtails that prioritize only low weight, the Team Marin 2 balances speed with aggressive trail capability for confident all-around mountain bike performance.
