Expirience with the Marin San Quentin 29 3

Marin San Quentin 29 3 Review
Ludwig Döhl
Marin is now equipping its San Quentin with big 29er wheels. This clearly follows the market trend for this San Quentin 29 3. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the All Mountain von Marin, the 64 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. In the price range of under 2000 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the Marin San Quentin 29 3. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Marin puts a lot of trust in its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the All Mountain von Marin sizing runs small.

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
