The bike allows for very agile and precise cornering, followed by noticeable stability during cornering, with an increasing the footprint.\u00a0The same happens in compressions.\u00a0Among other things, it allows you to corner quite hard, always offering excellent grip.\u00a0This helps the tires (however oversized and bulky they are in relation to the intended use of the bike) maintain incredible traction.\u00a0In addition, the suspension is very responsive but at the same time is far from nervous, so it offers a dynamic and fun ride even in the most technical terrain.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_200895\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-200895\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/8KfYCq-g.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-200895 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/8KfYCq-g.jpeg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/8KfYCq-g.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/8KfYCq-g-750x499.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/8KfYCq-g-768x511.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-200895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Mountain Bike Connection Winter &#8211; Rupert Fowler<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Specs\u00a0and prices<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Mount Vision Pro &#8211; \u20ac 8.999<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fork: FOX 36 Factory<br \/>\nShock Absorber: FOX X2 Factory<br \/>\nTransmission: Shimano XTR<br \/>\nBrakes: Shimano XTR<br \/>\nWheels: e * thirteen TRS Race Carbon<br \/>\nTires: e * thirteen TRS Race Plus 2.6 &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-Pro-profile.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-200889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-Pro-profile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-Pro-profile.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-Pro-profile-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-Pro-profile-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mount Vision 9 &#8211; \u20ac 6,699<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fork: FOX 36 Performance Elite<br \/>\nShock Absorber: FOX X2 Performance<br \/>\nTransmission: SRAM X01 Eagle<br \/>\nBrakes: Shimano XT<br \/>\nWheels: Stan&#8217;s NoTubes Sentry MKIII<br \/>\nTires: WTB Trail Boss 2.6 &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-9-profile.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-200891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-9-profile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-9-profile.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-9-profile-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-9-profile-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mount Vision 8 &#8211; \u20ac 5.299<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fork: RockShox Pike RC<br \/>\nShock Absorber: RockShox Deluxe R<br \/>\nTransmission: SRAM GX Eagle<br \/>\nBrakes: Shimano XT<br \/>\nWheels: Stan&#8217;s NoTubes Sentry S1<br \/>\nTires: WTB Trail Boss 2.6 &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-8-profile.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-200890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-8-profile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-8-profile.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-8-profile-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19_MV-8-profile-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 8 and 9\u00a0versions of the Marin Mount Vision are available from now, while the Pro set-up will arrive on the market at the end of spring.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinbikes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Marin Bikes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At\u00a0Mountain Bike Connection Winter last week in Massa Marittima Marin, a Californian MTB brand of presented their new aggressive all mountain model &#8211; the Mount Vision.
