Marin Nail Trail 7 29er review

Aug 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Smart spec choices and well-thought out geometry make for a light and fast hardtail that can cut it down heavyweight trails. Buy if you're looking for a lightweight 29er hardtail that's excellent value and can handle even heavyweight trails

Highs
  • Lightweight, smooth, aggro-angled hardtail frame with high volume, high control wheelset. Excellent value tough trail spec

Lows
  • You might want a grippier rear tyre for winter (but you’ll love the speed in summer). A smooth, high volume 29er hardtail still isn’t as impact ignorant as a full-sus bike
