This is a fantastically capable little bike, one of the most fun our tester has ever ridden on the trails when it comes to pure grin factor.

The principle criteria of IsoTrac was to have a suspension similar in feel and kinematics to Marin’s Quad Link design, but with less weight and moving parts.
