GT says

Riders ready to step up to a full suspension XC Race bike can step right up to the Marathon Carbon Pro. A slightly lighter and more durable parts pick (vs. the Marathon Carbon Expert) makes the Marathon Carbon Pro the perfect choice for racers who need reliability week after week.

About GT

GT Bicycles is a large American manufacturer of road, mountain, and bmx bicycles. GT mountain bikes are often readily identifiable by the unique "triple triangle" frame design present in most hard-tail designs.

This innovative idea was claimed to reduce the amount of vibration transferred to the seat fr

Two years on the 2007 model and many previous high end competitors since 1987 when I started into this sport. I treated it like my 6" Enduro and climbed hills my Enduro simply wouldn't. It's plush, the geometry is great for technical descents and it's plenty efficient. The I-drive works reliably, no problems whatsoever. Not even pivot noise like EVERY other bike I ever had with fs. The one thing I did when new is strip the pivots, grease them and torque them to spec. I understand the newer ones don't need that anymore. Someone just stole mine, so even though I love change, I bought the same bike again brand new. Why fix something that works so well?
