Marin Quake 2025 - Master The Descents
The Marin Quake 2025 is a downhill MTB ready to tackle the challanging descents. This bike features an all-new Series 4 MultiTrac 2 frame with 180mm of rear wheel travel, making it big hit capable. It's flip chips allow riders to fine-tune the geometry, adjusting the bottom bracket height and chainstay length to suit their riding style. Plus, the shock has hydraulic bottom out and adjustable low and high-speed compression damping to dial in the perfect ride. If your riding downhill courses or doing bike park laps, this MTB will tackle it.
Headtube & Headset Compatibility
The Quake’s headtube is a 56ZS (56mm diameter, zero stack), to maximize aftermarket headset options for reach and headtube angle adjustments. Furthermore, the frame is also compatible with most appropriate single crown forks, with 29” or 27.5” front wheels. Riders who switch to 27.5” wheels need to use a 10-15mm external lower cup for 180-190mm single crown or 200mm dual crown forks.
Sram Full Mount Compatible
Modern bikes incorporate modern features, and the Quake is no exception, utilizing SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger standard for the dropout and hanger. This feature allows Quake riders to upgrade to a direct mount rear derailleur if desired.
Flip Chips
Integrated flip chips allow the rider to quickly and easily choose from multiple configurations, based on terrain and equipment preference. Chainstay length and bottom bracket height can be set to low BB/long CS (353mm/440mm) or high BB/short CS (361mm/430mm). Those who prefer to run the Quake with a 29” rear wheel instead of the stock 27.5” can change the position of the seatstay chips to accommodate the larger diameter rear wheel.
Frame & Travel
The Series 4 Aluminum frame features the MultiTrac 2 LT suspension platform with 180mm travel. MultiTrac 2 LT shifts from seatstay pivots to chainstay pivots, ensuring that the suspension performance matches our design goals, which are not achievable using pivots located on the seatstay once travel exceeds 150mm. The benefits of relocating the rear pivot points from the seatstay to the chainstay become apparent, as it reduces anti-rise, allowing for better chassis control while braking, more mid-stroke support, and better feel at bottom out. Furthermore, relocation of the pivots provides the added benefit of allowing for adjustable chainstay lengths and bottom bracket heights. Ultimately, it’s a better-riding, better-performing suspension system made possible by the new pivot placement.
Reviews:
"The new Quake is another strong addition to Marin's lineup. It's well equipped for the price, and could be a good option for riders who are tired of abusing their enduro or trail bikes in the bike park." - Pinkbike | See the full review
"I already gushed about the Alpine Trail’s ride quality at length, so the short version is: like that, but more. More travel, more confidence, more smash-ability. I spent an afternoon at the Whistler Bike Park on a mix of tech and jump trails, and the Quake ate it all up. It’s fun and predictable to jump, it’s stable and confident in the steeps, it does all the things you’d want it to do." - Bike Mag | See the full review
"It’s all the bike most gravity-focused riders will ever need in a practical package, though. Plus, it’ll sure put a big smile on your face when you launch off the first kicker." - BikeRadar | See the full review
