Winners of the Ultimate Road Trip will be riding Marin 2008 QUAD XLT bicycles.
A lift assisted adventure to the jewels of Canadian bike parks is the perfect opportunity to feel the plush and efficient ride of the QUAD XLT Quake model bike. Built on an award winning full suspension platform, the Quake is a bike that enables riders to push their personal limits and defy conventional wisdom.
With 170mm of travel, through axle drop-outs and geometry tuned for aggressive riding, the Quake is a well tuned machine. Patented technology developed by Marin, utilizes the Instantaneous Pivot Center, allows for a bike that descends like an animal and pedals up the climbs like no other.
For more information on Marin bikes and how to test ride one near you, visit the Dealer section of marinbikes.com
