if your after a bike that will be used for some light offroading in the woods on down a track, you will be happy with this bike. Its long travel and adjustable rear suspension manages to take out the strain of those rocks and bumps with ease. The front also isnt far off the mark but could do with an upgrate for the extra ease on you arms and hands.
As for the 24 gears and Marin lightness is also good for the hills but the rear suspensions will need to be adjusted to a harder setting for that hill climb tho else you will be knackered half way.
I have been told that Marin's have bad build quality but i owned my shoreline for years and hand no problems there and i was rode most weekends across our local common. I did find though after my time of having this bike i did find the rear suspension a pain due to its softness and little adjustablity.
