Marin Wolf Ridge 8 completes line with GX Eagle build
Originally posted on June 8, 2017 at 15:02 pmThe 2018 Marin Wolf Ridge launched at the Sea Otter Classic this past April with the Wolf Ridge Pro at the top of the line and the Wolf Ridge 9 as the less expensive build. Marin just released the details on the last bike in this group, the Wolf Ridge 8, which offers a more affordable price point.
The Wolf Ridge is a 160 mm 29er that Marin claims to be “the one bike to rule them all.” The Wolf Ridge 8 is built around the same carbon fiber frame and NAILED R3ACT-2 PLAY suspension design as the others in the line, but features the all new SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain.
