We’ve received our new long-term test bike, and we are as curious as a cat to get to the trails and spend some quality time with one of the whackiest mountain bikes on the market. What on earth is it!? The Wolf Ridge 9 is a 160mm travel 29er with a full-carbon frame that uses Naild’s R3ACT …

When did mountain biking become a fashion show? Did we miss the memo? When the Marin Wolf Ridge hit the media channels, rather than enlightening talk of kinematics and performance, the forum Kardashians united in cries of “Ugly, hideous, kill it with fire!” Yes, it looks… well, different, but if the R3ACT suspension works, if […]
