Whether it's due to the large bottom bracket area or your high speed remains to be seen, but you're going to hear it either way. Its carbon frame is decked out with high level parts, with the notable exception of the rear shock - it's simple and dependable but not off a supercar. Why? "Smart suspension, dumb shock." That's why. The Wolf Ridge is designed so well that there's no need for a highly tunable rear shock. It's just that good! Remember: speed is the real beauty.
Unidirectional Carbon Construction – Marin utilizes the latest in high modulus carbon fiber technology and materials for the lightest and strongest frame possible.
NAILD R3ACT 2 Play Suspension – Acting on Newton’s Third Law that “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” this system provides unparalleled pedaling efficiency and bump compliance through a unique four-bar design and sliding suspension element. Naild’s R3ACT – 2 Play system uses an advanced kinematic that establishes a greater balance in load stabilization, minimizing unwanted energy losses.
Biometric Geometry and Ride Balance – Marin uses biometric fit data based on statistics of people’s body proportions, to develop the proper fit and weight distribution on each size of the Wolf Ridge. Using this data, they created four bike sizes that put each rider in the optimum position so that the center of gravity is the same for all sizes of people for balanced suspension kinematics, no matter the rider.
RockShox Monarch R Rear Shock – The Monarch is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Its lightweight design not only delivers silky smooth travel, but thanks to the Solo Air spring, it also delivers a spring rate you'd generally only get from a much heavier coil shock. So, you get a durable, fully adjustable shock capable of smoothing out the most aggressive trails, while simultaneously saving you weight for epic cross-country riding. Don't be fooled by its appearance. Like the wolf, its packaging doesn't always reveal what's inside.
