Expirience with the Marin San Quentin 2

Ludwig Döhl If you like a lively bike, you should take the Marin Trailbike into consideration. The moderate 65 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. In the price range under 2000 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. The easy rolling tires, the 464 wide range of gears and the lock-out capacity of the suspension underline the sporty ambitions in the uphill. We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
