'ORGASMIC ALLROUNDER '
Strengths:
You pop the front in 5 and the rear in 6 and it’s truly amazing. You can see the front taking the hits, you can hear the chain rattle as the rear compresses, yet you feel nothing. Ass wrenchingly fast in the 4 inch setting. Amazingly plush in the 6 with crap all pedal bob, can handle small to medium hucks. Pop it in 5 and it’s the perfect trail bike. Fox Talas R is the best fork I’ve tested and a perfect choice for this bike due to its versatility. The bikes handled everything I’ve thrown at it so far from some proper free riding, dirt jumping and proper downhill. The suspension is so easy to set up, with a few minor shock pump adjustments and a quick fiddle with the rebound it’s all done. Once you get it perfect, i.e. with it set to your weight and the rebound set then this bike truly fly's down anything. Both the Talas on the front and the float on the rear only have rebound control but how can you say you need anything else? I’m defiantly in favour of fully active suspension as the frames so well designed to take out pedal bob then it’s never an issue. Small trail chatter is easy to iron out once you set the rebound accordingly. At 30lb (or there about) total weight this is light enough for all day rides yet durable enough for just about anything.
Weaknesses:
Nothing bad about the stock kit bar the Motoraptor tires are truly awful on hardpack. The chain screwed up after a few months but that was pretty much just down to neglect on my part.
Overall:
All hail the marin wolfridge as the most amazing all round bike i've ever riden, A seminally amazing bicycle!
