@MarinBikes Please bring back the 90s color scheme with a red Lyrik up front.

We've had some fun with that colorway the past few years, first bringing it back on the 2017 Four Corners Elite adventure touring bike, and currently on the 2019 Muirwoods urban machine: www.marinbikes.com/bikes/2019-pavement-fitness-transit-urban-muirwoods

Oh, and if you ever make it to Sea Otter, you may see some of the Marin crew rolling around the pits on a faded '91 Bear Valley SE.

I find it interesting. He's rocking a SR Suntour Auron when the bike comes specced with a Rockshox. No complaint, I love the Auron PCS RC2 as I have one on my Diamondback Release, but seems odd to have a advertisement video with a different build bike.

Koen is supported by SR Suntour

Some info about the bike would be kind of cool.

It's more focused on Koen, but you can find information on the Hawk Hill 3 here: www.marinbikes.com/bikes/2019-mountain-full-suspension-trail-27.5-hawk-hill-3

@MarinBikes: I am a fan of Marin Bikes and history behind the company, no doubt. But, are you trying to tell me that this video was not posted here to sell the Hawk Hill 3. If that's so, you got me. You got me good.

That field looks like the worst way to lose all your elevation. In fact, I did the exact thing two weeks ago and it sucked.

I went to an XC trail in PA that I had never been to before. Rode for a couple hours, all the while running into every other person there going in the opposite direction. And for good reason, because after climbing I got to ride down a wet field back to the car. Such a waste. I asked a guy when he got back to his car if I did it wrong. He just said, "yeah, more fun the other way."

Yeah great way to advertise a mountain bike by showing someone rolling down a grass hill...

yeah was thinking the same - all that effort to get up there might as well be riding down a road!

So much shade in these woods... Have you ever been to northern California, i.e. Marin County? That is the terrain, rolling hills with trees here and there. Not to mention the "rolling down a grass hill" part was only the first half of a 2 minute video...

So what's new about this bike? Is it the color or something more

They increased the travel of the front fork from 120 to 130 and it now has a 150mm dropper. Along with it now has fox evol performance shock now. The new color scheme is also sick.

Updated geos for '19, with a 1° slacker HT (now 66.5°), steeper ST (between 74.1 - 74.7°, depending on frame size).

@MarinBikes: That geo should make for a pretty badass bike. I should look into one for my wife.

@MarinBikes When will your '19s such as the hawk hill and apline trail be available at retailers?

MarinBikes (Sep 26, 2018 at 16:09)

'19 Hawk Hills are on the water now and should hit our US warehouses in the next couple weeks, followed by retail availably. The Alpine Trails are a little bit behind, looking at November. Cheers.
