Marathon races, 24-hour enduros or "just" epic XC throwdowns with your friends; there's no question that 29ers give you the advantage. Specialized's Stumpjumper Marathon Carbon 29 gives you another advantage. Built for speed and efficiency, the full-carbon Marathon showcases a 90mm RockShox SID with a Brain, so whether you're dropping people heading up a long fireroad, doing a midnight lap during a 24 race or pinning a descent, your suspension is doing exactly what you need it to and nothing more. Further high-end specs include carbon Roval wheels that spin up quickly and the Magura discs that offer up confidence and control on steep downs with power and modulation. A SRAM XO/X9 2x10 drivetrain motors you along, and a carbon bar, Ti-railed saddle and carbon brake levers never weigh you down. Right off the floor, this thing is a winner.
