MARIN WOLF RIDGE – A revolutionary design for the ultimate performance

Marin Wolf Ridge Attack Trail 2018 Test First Look 1 von 24 1140x760 — The Wolf Ridge is bringing its out-there rear end design to the trails.

Back at the BIKE Festival in Riva, the MARIN Wolf Ridge created a major stir – not least because of its pretty, let’s say, ‘distinctive’ rear end design, but mainly because this revolutionary design is reputed to increase its efficiency to new highs. Despite carrying 160 mm of travel, MARIN have scraped the idea of internal damping. Check it out. The Wolf Ridge is the top-of-the-line model, coming in three build specs. Alongside the Wolf Ridge, MARIN have also wholly revised their more entry-level bikes, granting the popular 150 mm-travel MARIN Trail Attack a new, stiffer rear end and stylish transition to the frame.
