First Ride: Marin Tam - Fast, Flashy, and Aluminum

Apr 2026 · Dario DiGiulio

The Tam features 120mm of travel and aggressive geometry for an XC bike.

Highs
  • Great balance of cross-country efficiency and trail bike ride quality

  • Stable geometry, easy to intuit

  • Wide range of usability

  • Suspension feel is quite nice

  • Competitively light weight

  • Room for two water bottles

  • Long-travel dropper post compatibility

Lows
  • Noisy chainslap on Di2 build

  • Cable routing internal but unguided, potentially noisy

  • Twisty and flat cornering not as sharp as traditional XC geo

  • Handlebar sweep feels odd
