Ventana marble peak review.
You point this critter and it goes.
That must have been 1993 94 and shortly afterwards my local shop owner got one of the first marble peak full suspension bikes into the country.
It climbs and corners like a hard tail yet feels more plush than the marble peak.
This is my 98 marble peak in freeride mode.
The bicycle may require minimal service adjustments without the need of replacing any parts.
I ve been looking at the new ventanas and fantasizing about having one my pal has a new x 5 but this marble peak just keeps on going up and over everything in it s path.
For a sub 5 lb frame it is awesome.
The x5 is so graceful at sucking up the bumps.

Ventana el ciclon review.
Even though the mp has 3 5 travel and the fuego has 2 8.
My mantis is faster on the smooth stuff but i can climb steep nasty things on the ventana that i never could on the mantis even though i m not nearly as conditioned.
The trans red paint is awesome.
The bicycle looks good may have minimal cosmetic only blemishes on the frame fork components parts and or accessories.
I have spinal arthritis and my back feels much less strain than other fs bikes.
It so great that the beginning work on the marble peak trail has been so successful and it looks like fun too.
The frame is fairly light has excellent suspension action and is very simple and reliable i had an el habanero that i sent to ventana to get the bushings replaced for free and they called me to say that the frame was cracked.
Suddenly my steel.
It s hard to rationalize getting a new frame when this workhorse just keeps kicking ass.

The marble peak is an awesome bike for anyone who live in an area filled with rocky or technical climbs and descents.
