MrJacques Posted April 20, 2017 Share Marin Wolf Ridge. Another R3act suspension based bike, but with 29er wheels and 160mm of travel. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/marin-wolf-ridge-first-ride.html Edited April 20, 2017 by Jacquers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted April 20, 2017 Share I had an old Wolf Ridge back around 2008ish, the thing looked hideous but was completely mental to ride. Had a 67 head angle if I remember right. Edited April 20, 2017 by hellocolour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 20, 2017 Share The polygon just looks more polished. Smaller lower link, better tune design and it just looks more like a bike I'd like to ride. Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted April 20, 2017 Share The polygon just looks more polished. Smaller lower link, better tune design and it just looks more like a bike I'd like to ride.i'd love to swing a leg over either the polygon or marin bikes. not drawn to the aesthetic of the frames, but rather to get a feel for the frame kinematics that's been earning itself some rather high praise. Both PB and VitalMTB first ride reviews concluded in almost the same way: works as advertised, and those adverts were eyebrow rising stuff to begin with.

BaltazarMarques Posted April 21, 2017 Share Marin Wolf Ridge. Another R3act suspension based bike, but with 29er wheels and 160mm of travel. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/marin-wolf-ridge-first-ride.html I know it should come down to performance over looks, but damn I would probably ride this with a paper bag over my head cos it's pretty fugly! Yes there is a lot of tech and performance in this design which is the draw to try it out but I just can't see myself going into the garage and getting amped to swing my leg over... The Poly is gets the same reaction from me I'm afraid, just not nice to look at at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted April 21, 2017 Share I'm very interested by both the Polygon and Marin. Quite something different from all the Horst Links and Single Pivots knocking about. Something that seems like it could be a deal breaker is the customer offset KS Lev dropper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nox1111 Posted April 21, 2017 Share At least it has one good angle. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, PhilipV and BaltazarMarques 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 21, 2017 Share ahem... same conclusionIMO the curved top tube and down tube (near the crank) and the smaller lower linkage go a long way to offsetting the Quasimodo-ness, especially when compared to the Marin.
