Expirience with the Marin SAN QUENTIN 1

Ludwig Döhl The 130 mm fork travel helps you master the tours on lower mountains. Here, the Trailbike von Marin really plays to it´s strengths. With its geometry, the Marin is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Marin. The Marin Hardtail has higher quality wheels than the competitors with comparable prices. With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
