THE BIGGEST WHEEL HARDTAIL I'VE OWNED!! HOW DOES IT RIDE?

Ойын-сауық

This is the biggest wheel hardtail MTB I've ever ridden. How does it perform and how does it ride on technical sections, downhill, freeride jumps, pump track and dirt jumps? We developed and designed the Marin San Quentin to cover all these bases and mountain bike disciplines, to truly create a bike that does it all. And I've always been a massive fan of MTB hardtails. This is the first time Marin have specced the bike with 29 inch wheels and I took it for a ride to give my thoughts and review on this bike. Enjoy the riding and thoughts. This bike launches today!

    I rode BMX for a decade. Decided to jump into MTB and wanted to keep it under $1000 to make sure I loved it before splurging on something I'd regret. Ended up with a 2021 Marin San Quentin (guy bought a size too small and only had like 30 miles on it.) It's an excellent bike. I say that both as a beginner mountain biker, but also as someone who was hitting doubles and diamond trails since basically the first few hours. So I kind of am both a beginner and experienced rider at once in different aspects lol. But seriously the San Quentin rips. I've had mine for a year now and I still don't really feel pressured into getting a full suspension. I put on some quality pedals, grips, added a dropper post and converted to tubeless. It's an excellent bike that punches well above it's price tag. FYI, I also live in the PNW so these aren't small, tame trails. This thing can handle nearly anything you throw at it. Though your body will feel it on the rough stuff a lot more than a full suspension. But that's the same for any hardtail. You will absolutely learn a ton pushing a bike like this to it's limits though 🤘

    My favourite bike was a GT Peace 9'r single speed. I am of the opinion it forced me to ride better than on any other bike I've had since. The big wheels. Not worrying about gears. No suspension at all or a dropper post just meant you only ever worried about what was in front of you on the trail. And even as a "geezer" now, I kind of still hark back to that bike.

    Only spent a couple minutes on a proper hardtail as an adult (had one as a kid) and i was only nosediving on bunnyhops, so bad that i was kinda glad i went straight to a 180mm fully, coming from a bmx bike. Felt right at home pretty quick! I'm always more prone to nosediving jumps as opposed to looping out, even on my fully.. could that be related? 🤔
