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

  • Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
  • 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!

    Love the way how matt is so humble, "I won by 6 or 7 seconds, this bike is incredible" never mentioned he won because he is a bad ass rider, put all the glory on the bike not himself

    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 🤘

    I jumped up to 29 on my HT a year ago. Being a 6'4" giant, I instantly felt proper. Dont think I'd ever go back.

      I second this comment also as a 6'4" giant. Our bikes are finally to proper scale, doesn't look like we stole a 10yr olds bike.

      I’m 5’10” had a 29er hard tail and it felt way too big for me. So I got a SQ3 27.5 and loving the smaller wheel size (and the bike). Kinda cool you can get a SQ in both sizes now 🤙

    can you please make a compound clean up series? Like clearing all the grass away rebuilding the smaller dirt jumps you also have at you compound.

  • @ephronx
    @ephronx 11 місяців тому

    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.

    I'm always more prone to nosediving jumps as opposed to looping out, even on my fully.. could that be related? 🤔
