Expirience with the Marin Pine Mountain 1

Ludwig Döhl The Pine Mountain 1 is a dream made of steel with numerous options for attaching kit for bikepacking. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Marin Hardtail is a very balanced customer. The upright seating position gives the Marin Downcountry-Bike a comfortable character. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the Marin Pine Mountain 1 is probably not the right bike for you. A good argument for the Marin Downcountry-Bike: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Marin puts a lot of trust in its products.
