About Marin

The Making of Marin

Introducing Marin to Reckless Shipyards' esteemed guests and clients! Marin Bikes, crafted for fun since 1986, embody a commitment to elevating riders' experiences with high-quality, enjoyable bicycles. Rooted in hard work and fueled by passion, Marin thrives on the satisfaction of sharing the joy of cycling worldwide.

Whether navigating challenging race circuits or cruising multi-surface pavements, Marin brings the essence of fun to every cycling adventure.

Award Winning Marin

Marin's legacy includes breakthroughs in hybrid bikes and full-suspension design, such as the 1993 Titanium FRS, a world championship-winning model. As a key influencer in the '90s and 2000s, Marin's lineup embraced hydroformed, monocoque, and full-suspension models, solidifying its influential status. A revitalized era began in 2012-2013, with new ownership driving innovation, leading to the 2014 launch of carbon full-suspension mountain bikes and award-winning Fairfax models.

Reckless Shipyards Proud

The subsequent years saw Marin's continued prowess with models like the IsoTrac-equipped Rift Zone 29er and the 30th-anniversary editions of Pine Mountain and Four Corners. The Wolf Ridge's groundbreaking full suspension design in 2018 and the 2021 Alpine Trail E models reinforced Marin's trailblazing spirit. With a rich history of evolution, Marin's 2022 lineup, including updates to Alcatraz and a new top-shelf Rift Zone Carbon 29 XR model, underlines their commitment to pushing boundaries in the cycling industry. Reckless Shipyards is privileged to be a premier vendor in Vancouver, offering Marin's exceptional eMTB fleet to enthusiasts seeking top-tier cycling experiences.
