The Super 4 isn’t perfect. It’s desperate for a wider bar and deserves lighter equipment to cut its overall weight as soon as you can afford it. However, none of this hides the fact that the Super 4 delivers masses of fun and easy speed right from the ?rst taut, tight tracking pedal stroke to the end of every high velocity play down the woods or ton-up marathon.

The bike feels light initially, so much so that our test riders found themselves bouncing the top tube between their thighs after stepping over. At 24 and a half pounds the Mount Vision is much lighter then its beefy exterior would indicate at a glance. Standing on the ground while looking over the Easton’s riser bar makes the Marin feel a bit more All Mountain in nature.

This bike can take a pounding and still ride fine. I've taken it off drops and all and never seems to have a problem. However the forks are not strong and bottom out all the time. Rear hub is very easily damaged, would recommed that hubs get replaced after a year. All in all a great bike for those who are begining and need something that will last them a long time.

Things to remember:

Always wear a helmet. If you think you're too cool for it, five minutes on any of these trails will help you realize that if you're bare-headed, you're in the minority.

Always bring water. Especially in the heat, which is even more wicked when you're exerting yourself. For a whole day out, one or two water bottles are not enough. Either wear a backpack with water bottles inside, or get a fancy Camelbak, an insulated waterbag you wear on your back.

Riding Tips

Wear the hardest-soled shoes you own.
Lower your seat if you're going to be on a bumpy course.
Spend most of your time "standing,'' knees slightly bent, keeping your feet parallel with each other (to avoid hitting high- protruding rocks) and your eyes on the ground, a few feet in front of you.
You will spend a lot of time shifting gears rapidly, from the lowest to the highest in a matter of seconds, so make sure this part of your bike is in working order and that you understand how it works.
When going down a steep hill, keep your weight back. When going up a steep incline, try to keep your weight forward to avoid an "endo'' (tipping backward).
When going around blind curves, whistle or make some kind of noise to warn people you're coming. Two bikes colliding at high speeds is not fun.
