Marin Quake 2026 Frameset - Black / Purple / Red

Below is the recommended sizing for the Marin Quake 2026 . Here you should measure your height with your shoes off.

Please Note: Many bike brands' size guides overlap slightly. This is because small adjustments like seat position can accommodate riders who fall between sizes. When you're in this overlap zone, the choice comes down to preference: a larger size for a more stretched-out ride, or a smaller size for a more compact feel.

At MTB Monster, we help customers on a daily basis choose the right size bike for their needs. We consider your measurements, riding style, and past bikes to help recommend the best size. If you're in doubt at all or want to just confirm your thoughts please contact us and we would be glad to help.

Frame Protection in our opinion is money well spent. Your bike is an expensive investment and frame protection helps to protect your paintwork from scratches, scuffs and chips to keep your bike looking spotless for years to come. In essence, frame protection is a custom cut, self-healing frame protection film made from Lotus Pro 10 - 10.3mil thick TPU film (or similar) designed specifically for mountain bikes and electric bikes. It features a ceramic-embedded hydrophobic top coat that effectively repels water, mud, and dirt, making post-ride cleanups faster and easier. Kits are available in both gloss and matte finishes and unless specifically requested we would fit the kit to match the finish of your paintwork. Some bikes have a mixture of matte and gloss paintwork and in most cases mixed finish kits are available. The material of a frame protection kit will act as an extra layer of clear coat and can make the finish of raw carbon more prominent due to the way that the light refracts. Similarly, fitting a matte finish kit can produce a more satin finish and mean that the kit is slightly more visible than when it is installed in a gloss finish.

Currently there are 3 options available

1. Supply and fit.

Our trained and experienced mechanics can install frame protection kits here so that your Quake 2025 arrives fully protected and ready to ride. We recommend a 48 hour curing period to ensure that the film adheres properly to the frame, so your order will take a little longer to arrive — but it will be well worth the wait.

2. Supply Only.

If you choose to install the kit yourself, we'll provide you with the kit, instructions, and a squeegee. Just select "Supply Only" and your kit will arrive with your bike — there is no delay to dispatch with this option. There are many informative videos online to guide you through installation. We would advise watching these in advance to see if you feel confident to fit the kit. Patience is a must when it comes to installation.

3. N/A.

Choose this option if you would prefer not to have frame protection fitting.

Please note: If no frame protection kit has been designed for the bike yet, no option other than N/A will appear. However, there is a very good chance we may still be able to get one designed or custom templated to fit. If this is of interest, please contact us here and we can look into it as soon as possible.

So, what's a tubeless setup? Traditionally, inner tubes are inflated with air to create a cushion between the rim and tyre. In contrast, a tubeless setup ditches the inner tube and relies on a specially designed rim with an airtight seal. A self-sealing liquid is added directly inside the tire, and air is pumped through a special valve to inflate the tyre. This allows riders to run lower pressures for better grip and comfort, and the sealant can plug small punctures on the fly, reducing flats.

However, it's important to note that bike manufacturers send their bikes to us in varying degrees of readiness to be set up tubeless. For example, some may supply suitable tubeless-ready tyres, but not the valves or sealant, while others arrive with everything you need. So here at MTB Monster we've checked and answered the following two questions;

Can the Marin Quake 2026 be set up tubeless? Yes, this bike can be set up tubeless.

What option do I need to select, if I want the bike setting up tubeless before I receive it?The manufacturer provides rim tape however we will need to provide valves and sealant to set your bike up tubeless. To add this to your order, select tubeless option 2 in the dropdown.

In the box, you'll find your owner's manuals with your Pre-Delivery Inspection Checklist, signed off by our Cytec qualified mechanic. This details all the checks that have been completed along with an 'Important Information' sheet explaining the advised pre-ride checks to be carried out to ensure the bike is safe to ride and that it will perform at its best. We advise keeping this document safe in case it is required in the future.

We also include the relevant allen keys to assemble your bike (normally 2), brake separators to keep your brakes apart whilst the wheel is out of the bike along with any manufacturers manuals, and any extras the brand has included. Some manuals are now only accessible online and paper copies are not included, if you require any assistance accessing manuals for your new purchase please get in touch.

It is worth being aware that bikes are rarely supplied with pedals included. This information will be detailed in the specification of the model you choose. If your bike is not supplied with pedals and you don't currently have any suitable ones, we have a great range on offer here

Any promotional freebies such as an MTB Monster mudguard will also be included in your box.

If you feel you are missing any parts of your kit please contact us within 24 hours of delivery so that we can help.

Showroom Viewing

While we showcase Marin bikes and often have the Quake model on display, we can't guarantee the exact bike you see online will be ready to view at any given time. This is because bikes might be recently sold, boxed in our warehouse, or still with the manufacturer. To ensure you see a specific bike you're interested in, please contact us before your visit & we'll do our best to have it available on the day of your visit or make alternative arrangements.

The bike is classed as a downhill MTB

Like all mountain bikes, the Marin Quake 2026 can be used on gravel paths and forest tracks, but the bike will really excel on descents with features like steep chutes, huge drops, challenging jumps and very technical rock gardens.

Cleaning a bike doesn’t need to be overcomplicated, a brush and hose pressure method is the best way. We advise against using a pressure washer as this often drives water behind seals, washing grease from bearings and also forces water into electrical components. It's also best to avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the finish of the frame and components. MTB Monster offer a range of recommended cleaning products that are designed for ebikes and non-ebikes.

Marin Bikes debuted in 1986 and have dedicated themselves to making fun, high calibre bicycles while operating based on hard work, fueled by passion and satisfaction through bringing the joy of riding to cyclists around the world. Each Marin bike is designed to be playful and to maximise the opportunities for two-wheeled fun.

Getting started can seem daunting but there's only a couple of kit items that are essential for a safe and self-sufficient bike ride.

Above all else, a helmet is the most essential piece of kit. It dramatically increases safety when you're out riding. To put this in context, if you visited a UK mountain bike trail centre, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone riding without one. Rider protection wise, this can be extended to gloves, knee pads and elbow pads depending on type the terrain that you are looking to tackle.

We would always recommend riding with a spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump. Most riders have a story about the time they got caught out with a puncture, usually in horrible weather and miles from the endpoint of the ride, learn from our mistakes :) Additionally, a number of mechanicals can be resolved on the trail with a handy multi-tool, these usually contain a range of hex keys, torx keys and occasionally a chain breaker to help you get to the end of the ride and into a fully equipped workshop.

For any additional advice, feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to help.

Local to store, we have Longridge Fell, Gisburn Forest and also Darwen Moors & Rivington. Within around an hours drive, you have the Lake District, North Wales, Yorkshire Dales & the Peak District offering a wealth of amazing riding opportunities. If you're ever looking for a route nearby, let us know and we can point out some highlights.

Throughout the wider UK, there are over 20,000 miles of bridleway and over 16,000 miles of national cycle network. Additionally, canal paths, forest roads and cycle lanes all offer a great network to connect your ride and minimise the amount of time that you need to ride on busy roads. A good starting part to find some fun mountain bike specific routes that cater for all abilities are trail centres. These are designed specifically for mountain bikes and are often located through the UK's many forest areas. Some great websites to check out as a starting point are; mbwales.com (Wales), dmbins.com (Scotland), forestryengland.uk/cycling (England) and mountainbikeni.com (Northern Ireland). One of our personal favourite riding spots at MTB Monster, is within the Tweed Valley area in Scotland, where the design of the tracks are simply world class and cater for all abilities.

No, due to the design of the front triangle, there are no points to fit a bottle using traditional mounts but there are products on the market which use a strap system to secure to the frame and there are also hydration packs from Camelback to prevent dehydration while out on the bike.

Frame:

Marin have full confidence in their frames and as such offer a 5 year warranty against defects in material or workmanship. .

Components fitted the bike

All components fitted to the bike are covered under warranty by the respective manufacturer which is typically two years however in some cases, this can vary and items such as suspension are subject to servicing being carried out.

Whether or not a bike is supplied with pedals is at the discretion of the manufacturer. If you select the technical tab on any product page you will see 'pedals' as a one of the items and here it will tell you if they come as standard from the manufacturer. By reducing the number of components included with a new bike, manufacturers can minimise waste and packaging. With so many different types of pedal available it's unlikely that anything manufacturers include will suit everyone. If you require pedals and they are not listed as included in the specification of your chosen bike you can find the range that we offer here and of course if you are unsure please get in touch for some friendly advice.

Yes, all of the brands we deal with carry a large number of spare parts to support their customers. If you have purchased a bike from MTB Monster, our rider support team will work with you and the team at Marin to get you the parts you need as soon as possible.

Yes, most upgrades on the Marin Quake 2026 are fine, if you fancy changing the brakes, adding some blingy new grips, or maybe a change of fork, you're welcome to make these changes. However, just make sure they are both suitable & compatible with the bike.
