Marin named their new XC bike, the TAM, after Marin County's Mt. Tam, which is arguably one of mountain biking's birthplaces
Apr 2026 · Dario DiGiulio
The Tam features 120mm of travel and aggressive geometry for an XC bike.
Competitively light weight (29.8 lbs) for aluminum frame
Aggressive 65° head angle for stability
76° seat angle feels steep and efficient
38mm bottom bracket drop keeps weight low
120mm rear travel with good anti-squat (124% at sag) and anti-rise (80-98.5%)
Clearance for up to 200mm rear rotor and two water bottles
Suspension feel is nice with balanced XC efficiency and trail ride quality
Stable and easy to intuit geometry
Grip X damper in fork bridges XC/trail divide
Internal cable routing is unguided, requires fishing and foam tubing to reduce noise
Minimal chainslap protection, especially with Di2 drivetrain
Some noise from cables in frame
Twisty and flat cornering not as sharp compared to traditional XC geo
Handlebar sweep feels odd to reviewer
