A bit of history
In the late 70s of the XX century, the development of cycling and, as a consequence, the bicycle industry began in America. At this time, ambitious amateurs in the country invented many new riding styles on completely different sections of the road and off-road.
In 1986, a bicycle company was founded in the state of California, which to this day occupies a significant place in the market. The company’s office is located on the territory of the Marin County, in the place where the mountain bike originated. The founder of the brand is Robert Buckley, and to this day he leads the company. Marin's core business is the production of 2-wheel mountain ski equipment. In the early 90s of the last century, the company developed a unique technology for the production of full suspension of 2-wheel vehicles. A few years later, together with renowned international companies, Marin upgraded the 1-link rear suspension to the 4-link in order to make the bike even more reliable. Despite this fact, the total weight of the bike did not increase, as did maneuverability.
Marin currently has its own cycling team. Almost all cyclists in the production team are very young, 20-25 years old. This proves that the company is ready to give opportunities to young, ambitious talents, and their transport will be able to lead athletes to victory.
