Tom Marvin

A great frame that’s let down by lacklustre kit, but is a solid platform to upgrade from

Pros
  1. Geometry great for aggressive riders looking to maximise speed up and downhill
  2. high-volume tyres boost comfort and grip on all but the slippiest of trails
Cons
  1. Quality of components
  2. fork has a less refined feel through its stroke than others
