Good news from Marin – a number of its popular bikes, including the Mount Vision 5.7 that we tested recently, are currently subject to an in-store promotion that makes them significantly cheaper.

In the case of the Mount Vision 5.7, the normal £1,999 price is now £1,899, a £100 saving that certainly enhances the bike’s value for money. The more spendier Mount Vision 5.8 is currently a little less more spendier at £2,250 rather than £2,499, while the women’s version of the 5.8 is down to £2,150 from £2,300.

The long-travel Attack Trail range also benefits from some price hackery, with the 6.7 coming down to £1,899 from £1,999, the 6.8 now at £2,299 from £2,499 and the 6.9 dropping from £3,499 to £3,199.

The promotion runs unti 15 March 2010 – visit www.marin.co.uk to find your nearest dealer.
