It’s been 15 Years Since Marin Released an XC Bike... Introducing the TAM

abr 2026 · Travis Reill

Marin named their new XC bike, the TAM, after Marin County's Mt. Tam, which is arguably one of mountain biking's birthplaces

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

abr 2026 · Dario DiGiulio

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

Highs
  • Great balance of XC efficiency and trail bike ride quality

  • Stable geometry, easy to intuit, wide usability range

  • Nice suspension feel, good platform for pedaling and pumping

  • Internal cable routing (though unguided)

  • Generous tire clearance up to 29x2.4"

  • Long dropper post insertion depths

  • Up to 200mm rear rotor clearance

  • Two water bottle mounts per size

  • Competitively light weight potential (well under 28 lb build possible)

Lows
  • Chainslap protection minimal, especially with Di2 drivetrain

  • Cable noise inside frame (no foam included, unguided routing)

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

  • Handlebar sweep feels odd (personal preference)

  • Weight as tested on size Large is 29.8 lb (not ultra-light)

  • Heavier build kits may need upgrades for pure XC racing
