Light Background Edition: Use this mark on light backgrounds or materials.
Dark Background Edition: Use this mark when the background color is black or dark enough that black ink does not provide enough contrast against the background color or material. The key to using this mark is to ensure that the printed ink is ALWAYS lighter than the background color or material, this will prevent a reversed image effect. The bottom line is that the bear’s head should always be darker than the sky behind it’s head.

Longer initial lever
Shorter final lever
The Quad-Link 2.0 suspension system is superior to other single pivot and floating pivot designs.
The new Quad XCR100, XC120, Trail 140, or XLT170 each have specific applications. All resist bottoming on large impacts, and are not affected negatively by pedaling forces. The key to the
effectiveness of the Quad-Link 2.0 suspension system lies in engineering of Marin’s own Instantaneous Pivot Center and Intelligent Wheel Path.

Compare - Single Pivot
PROs • Very Simple• Lots of mud clearance• Chaingrowth early in the
travel helps control bob and improves traction• Handles large impacts well
CONs• Simple wheel path• Not very reactive to small bumps• Chaingrowth late in the travel
creates pedal feedback• Fixed leverage ratio• Poor shock durability from
excessive lateral loads• Subject to brake jacking

PROs •Wheel to shock ratio allows
shock leverage ratio to vary through travel•More reactive to small
bumps
CONs• Single pivot wheel path with six
pivot points• Heavy and complicated linkage
only drives the shock• Less mud clearance• Pivot bearings near the rear
wheel reduces long term durability

PROs • Variable wheel to shock ratio • Progressive leverage ratio• Reactive to small bumps• Handles large impacts
CONs• Very long links limit changing leverage
ratio• Less mud clearance• Bearings near the rear wheel reduce
long term durability• Many pivot locations (at least 6) add
weight and points of liability• Near vertical axle path limits ability to
deal with square edge objects
