Can we have some more information? Better for what? Trails? Enduro? Bike-park? Long rides? Fun? Maintenance? Upgrades? Your size? Terrain?

Jekyll has a better paint job, so that’s my vote. But Marin is a cool company, so that has my vote too. Conclusion: you can’t go wrong

at least going by your budget, have you looked at Voodoo? (same og designer as marin i believe, Joe Murray)

The cannondale pedals like a dog but is awesome on rough stuff and jumps. If you intend to do lots of climbing I’d go for the Marin otherwise take the Jekyll

I wouldn’t trust either brand for that price. Have you looked at Scott? They are a great brand and have a solid presence in the EU market.

I don’t care about specs, get that cannondale… It FUCKS.

These are two completely different bikes. In literally every single way possible nothing is alike between these two

Cannondale makes some pretty nice stuff but do keep in mind that in general they are known for having niche parts on their bikes that are going to be harder to source parts for maintenance

Marin. 36 fork will be better. 38 feels big and is more for free ride purposes – not long rides. I guess it is more nimble too but I haven’t had one

What type of riding are you doing?

I just got the Marin trail 1. It’s freakin awesome, feels like butter going over everything. I live in Colorado Springs and have a lot of chunk trails and climbing and it is beautiful. Climbing can suck a bit but that would be true for any enduro. My vote is the Marin

That cannondale looks so sick. I love the metallic blue and white silver half and half. Don’t know which one functions better to be honest 😂
I would throw matching white pedals on with blue grips and hang it up as an art pieve

Both are great plateforms, I’d lean towards cannondale because I like Rockshox more than Fox for the suspensions, but really both bikes are great for enduro and you won’t regret one or the other.
