Marin San Quentin 2 2026
The Marin San Quentin 2 2026 is built for riders who want a hardtail that punches well above its weight on aggressive trails, jump lines and technical terrain. Developed with input from freeride legend Matt Jones, it blends dirt-jump toughness with modern trail geometry, creating a bike that feels planted, responsive and ready to push limits.
The drivetrain is a simple and reliable 1x11 setup with a wide 11–50T cassette, providing enough range for steep climbs while keeping shifting crisp and efficient. Powerful Tektro four-piston hydraulic brakes with 180mm rotors ensure consistent stopping power when trails get fast and demanding.
A TranzX dropper post comes fitted as standard, allowing quick saddle height adjustments on the fly, while Marin’s in-house cockpit components keep the ride controlled and comfortable. The overall build strikes a strong balance between performance and value, making it an ideal choice for riders progressing into more aggressive trail riding without stepping into full suspension.
The San Quentin 2 sits squarely in the sweet spot of the range, delivering the capability, strength and modern feel of a hardcore hardtail, with a spec that’s ready to ride hard straight out of the box.
