The Marin TAM 1 is Marin’s fresh take on modern cross-country—blending lightweight efficiency with proper trail capability. It’s designed for riders who want one bike to do it all: smash climbs, carry speed on flowing single-track, and still feel confident when things get technical.

This isn’t old-school XC. This is down-country done right.

The TAM marks Marin’s return to full-suspension XC, but with a modern twist. Instead of chasing pure race weight, it delivers a balanced, real-world ride feel—fast on climbs, composed on descents, and fun everywhere in between.

With 120mm rear travel and 130mm up front, plus aggressive geometry, it sits perfectly between an XC race bike and a trail bike—ideal for UK riding where terrain is rarely smooth or predictable.

The TAM 1 isn’t just for racing—it’s designed for real-world riding. Whether you're hammering out local loops, heading into the hills for a big day out, or chasing mates on fast trail centre laps, it delivers a rare mix of speed and control.

Compared to traditional XC bikes, the TAM is longer, slacker and more stable—giving you the confidence to push harder on descents while still climbing efficiently thanks to its supportive suspension platform.

Think of it as:
XC speed + trail bike confidence = maximum ride time fun
