Expirience with the Marin SAN QUENTIN 2

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on moderate to demanding trails, the Marin Hardtail really comes into its own. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Marin. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character.
