First Ride: Marin Quake - The Purple Park Machine
@Dtower92: but what would it do to the structural integrity of the warranty? That's what I'd be concerned about.

@PB-J: the mass majority of riders are fine with complete builds, and, unless you're fixated on one brand in particular, you'll generally find a build that has 90% of the spec you want, meaning you save a fortune over building it up for the sake of swapping one or two components out. Frame onlys are for people with more money than sense or incredibly particular needs.

@totaltoads: exactly. In the UK, Welsh slate and Scottish granite are tyre killers, they slice sidewalls open for fun, but other than that, a lot of riders only ever really ride trail centres with pretty groomed trails where lighter tyres to make the climbs easier (there's only a few chairlifts in the UK, most trails are pedal up) are worth the trade off.

@danielfloyd: that would be fine if so many people didn't over bike themselves. The majority of enduro bikes I know of (which is the majority of riders I know) get used as trail bikes 95% of the time. The only people I know who regularly run heavy duty rubber are ebikers and the ones who dabble in enduro racing. Everyone else, at most they stick a double down (or equivalent) on the rear once they kill the exo and call it a day.

Depends on the bike and where it's being sold. There's a high percentage of riders round here that use mid weight or light weight casing tyres their whole riding life with great results and no issues, and will replace the tyres when they wear out with the same model, or equivalent from a different brand. By your argument, why supply tyres at all? They'll always be wrong for a portion of the buyers. And while we're at it, stop speccing pedals, grips, seats and bars, they're changed straight away as often as tyres. But carry on like that and soon you'll end up with only frame only options.

Marin quake, that's a name I've not heard in a good few years, I always thought they looked super badass with the absolute unit of a rear triangle.
