Expirience with the Marin San Quentin 29 2

Ludwig Döhl Marin is now equipping its San Quentin with big 29er wheels. This clearly follows the market trend for this San Quentin 29 2. The flat 64 degree head tube angle of the San Quentin 29 2 gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The relatively high front allows you to sit upright in the saddle. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Marin installed better wheels at a price of 1539 Euro than the competition. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Marin sets the bar high! Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs small.
