Nail Trail 9.7 components
Fork
The Nail Trail 9.7 comes factory-installed with the Fox Performance Float 32 fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels size
The wheels on Nail Trail 9.7 are the 29″ aluminum type. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Nail Trail 9.7 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Dropper post
Marin Nail Trail 9.7 includes a dropper post. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
