Thanks for the shoutout Rob, you're a great friend. I'm THRILLED you're on the TM2, it's such a fantastic bike. Marin knocked it out of the park with this thing.
Thank you Steve for your help with it also. No one knows modern hardtails better🙌
I agree....Steve's the best!@@oldshovel
My son went from 32:09 to 26:41 after upgrading to marin team 1(he even crashed on the marin team 1 and lost 20odd seconds) in the u13 xc race. Converted his tires to tubless and added a dropper although the dropper didn't particularly help. Getting him lighter race tires and maybe a lighter cassette.
They are fast bikes.
So glad to hear that you're loving the bike, Rob! Looking forward to more videos with it.
Thanks, it’s such an awesome ride and such a great value.
I have a Team Marin 2 and love it. It can handle black diamond trails for sure. It's been my go to since I got it. I find myself riding it more than my Fezzari La Sal Peak. I'm really looking forward to following along this series. California in the house!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience. I feel the same way about mine. They’re fun fast bikes.
My last 2 bikes have been Marin and I’m sticking with them
Awesome.
It’s really heartwarming and inspiring to see your love for your son.
Love my Marin. I’m tempted to add this to my stable in addition to the Rift Zone 3 I have already
Greetings from germany ✌🏻🇩🇪
Awesome 🙌
@@oldshovel You are the best😎🤙🏻
You and HT Party have convinced me on this one. I had a cheap Giant Talon I started on. It was super fun, but it started to feel like I was pushing it past it’s limits, and started having issues.
I then upgraded to a YT Jeffsy AL Comp 29, and while it was a fantastic bike, I felt like I was over biking everywhere and I often missed the simplicity and “sketchiness” of my cheap hard tail. I ended up selling it because my local trails are fairly tame. I also discovered i like longer rides with some chunk here and there, and while I love a good downhill I’m not a huge fan of enduro style riding.
I’m thinking and hoping this will be exactly what I want and need! Super excited to get it delivered.
I have a Marin Bobcat trail 4 and I am satisfied Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷🙋🏻♂️
That's nice yours came with an XT derailleur. Ours are still spec'd with SLX like their website says. Great upgrade on a great bike!
I planned on purchasing this in the Spring but cancelled my order and upgraded my 27.5 Bobcat Trail 3. I really regret that decision. Going to sell it and get the Team Marin 2 next Spring.
Well done Rob .Great informative video .Good luck
Good evening from Thailand. :)
I love it 🙌
Este tipo de vídeo también se disfruta mucho, felicidades 👍🏽
Hello from Australia!
Awesome 🙌
It’s a good frame, well the new design is. Needs some upgrades, wheels, brakes, stem, bars etc. Good starting platform and it can handle tough chunk. Definitely get rid of stock wheels.
Newshovel is coming up
Lol 😂 🙌
Ride safe from Japan 🇯🇵
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the video, you answered my burning questions regarding the frame issues/cracks. Was it 9 out of 10 frames or a few isolated cases, possibly involving huge drops Has Marin addressed this going forward? I assume they will replace frames, maybe with the new rev.
They were the first generation of this team Marin 2 that had issues. Both seat stays on my 2021 cracked about the 8-10th ride with normal riding. Since then Marin has gone through 2 revisions. The current one with the seat bridge is there latest revision which should be good to go. It's pretty much the same bridge and diameter tubing that's used on the San Quentin which has been bomb proof.
I am not sure that I understand how Shimano views SLX. They have expanded Deore so much to add some value options that SLX seems a bit redundant. Moreover, the differences between SLX and XT mechanical are often quite subtle.
Shimano is in the early stages of refining their flat bar groups. I wonder how/if SLX will change. I did, however, just complete a build with XT 11-speed. It’s SUPER cheap now. $58 for a rear mech.
I really like their 11 speed xt group set also.
Hello from Poland 🇵🇱
Awesome 🙌
Thanks man for this video, looks like a great bike.
I wanted to ask what size would you recommend, I'm 182cm?
I know the charts say size L, I like smaller frames with a longer seat tube and offset seat post, but I don't know if an M would be too small for my height on this bike.
Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to try it anywhere and will have to order it from a foreign e-shop. Thanks for your help.
Impressive doing a ride report while actually riding. I presume you don't have an autocue mounted on your bike and it's all from memory?
In Ireland here, what is NICA?
What trail are you riding? Looks like Yellow Fork or Corner Canyon?
It’s the BST just below Ben Lomond peak in the Pleasant View/ North Ogden area.
Hello from france
Bonjour 😁
i would pick a xt cassette
I know who to borrow a pedal wrench from!
Lol yep
Should be fast for the price!
It’s cheap by todays standards 😅 try pricing a similar specced giant or specialized!
It’s agile it’s nimble it’s free. I know I know I am an ASSHOLE and you have been clear about it being a ‘partnership’ but I have a hard time taking such a positive review seriously.
totally fair - that is why I emphasized Steve's review on the Hardtail Party CZcams Channel
Pinkbike rated it really well too in their hardtail review.
It's all on how the rider rides the bike more than the bike itself
First View
Awesome thanks
