Marin is a bicycle manufacturer in Marin County, California, established in 1986. It specializes in mountain bikes but also has other types. They have traditionally used names of locations in and around Marin County.

Since the late 1990s Marin has manufactured full suspension mountain bikes. Working with Jon Whyte, a British engineer who worked with Benetton Formula One racing cars in gearbox design, Marin developed a single-pivot rear suspension. Subsequent innovations including the TARA (Travel And Ride Adjustable) and quad link suspensions have lost the purity of the original concept but have maintained their popularity.

Marin’s mountain bikes have traditionally used steel frames for their conventional hard-tail bikes. With the ascendancy of aluminium, titanium and carbon fibre, steel bikes are a niche market. Marin bikes are now something of a specialists machine.
