Marathon Carbon Team

For the elite-level racer, speed is life. But certain things become absolute necessity when the race hits the bell lap. For one, plush rear 100mm travel that doesn't rob your legs of pedaling efficiency. For another, light weight so you can conserve energy, and of course, long-haul durability so you can make it to the finish line.

      GT bikes are as hungry for weekend dirt as you are, with light and strong aluminum frames and plenty of bump-taming front suspension. Twist your way through rooted trails or unwind on epic singletrack, and you’ll forget all about what’s waiting for you on Monday morning.

      If it’s easy, then it’s not really worth doing. So we design our dirt jump bikes to push past the limits of human comfort (and sensibility) with the toughest tubesets, beefiest forks and park-proven components. If only your body was built this strong.
