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

Anyone else fully flinch / jumped when he "bashed Cove" out the way!!?! 😱😂
my heart dropped 😂
I actually jumped in my chair
Hahahaha yesssss 😂 I jumped 😂
OMG wasnt ready for that 😂
I fucking screamed lmao
I see cove has had more tools in his hand this year than matt😂
😂
Dork disc and reflectors had me creasing😂😂😂
Me to🤮💀🗑️
The main attribute is the dork disc... everyone needs a bit of dork in their lives.🤣 I ride my 29er hardtail every week and love every minute of it.
Never jumped so much when you "hit cove" with the bike box, 😂😂 fair play Ben 😅😂
Sooooo, when do we get to see Mat hit the airbag on Coves bike?
So stoked too see Matt back to weekly uploading.
yeh i was so upset when he hadn't posted in over a month
Too bad he didn't clean the mycological growth off his airbag during that period.
I'm starting to think this was an ad for the all new marin San quentin 29ner
Stoked to finally see my artwork in the workshop! Glad you like it! 🤙🏻
Imagine the clips of Matt riding and saying random words about the bike being the official promo video for Marin
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 🤘
Matt's lil man is really early out preparing himself for hard pedal impacts on his legs with the tools 😂
Holyy talk about jump scare, thanks for that 🤣
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 🤙
it brings me so much joy to listen to the intro
I actually flinched so much when he spun the box around and cove flew😂😂😂
The one thing keeping me from a Quentin was the lack of 29s but now it looks like I know what my next bike will be!
Oh my god, that "kick the baby" animation gave me a freaking heart attack!
Welcome back u legend u have been missed ❤❤❤❤❤😊🎉
The quality of these vids just get better and better! Cheers for the multitude of uploads recently boys ❤️
after a couple of weeks I loved my 29er hardtail its just getting used to the feel and what it does good/bad when going up from 27.5s
I built a pumptrack for my son in my garden. It is like your Hellfarm just a tiny version of it.
You gonna love riding with the little pooper.
I'm glad to see you using the workshop! I'd almost forgotten about it after you'd built it.
matt watching you guys all the time really motivates me to one day own a marin bike keep it going
I was literally typing, "He cut the bars but left the dork disc and reflectors?" as Matt ripped them off.
Love Cove's exit😂. And watching you ride a hardtail Matt. With no music. 😍
Your kid is sick! Lovin' dem tools
that right, you did race that bike at Seaotter. I was one of the guys who met both you and ben by the Marin tent. I was wearing, as you put it Matt, an OG Helfare shirt. Wondering if we will possibly see a Helfare booth at next years Sea Otter???
Handsome looking kiddo you got there. Thank god he looks like his mama =) keep up the fun boys!!!
Those are some wide handlebars for a baby😂
yea matt love it. the cove intoro was awsom saw that photo on your instagram looked sick id love to ride wouburn or even your compoud as ive started to realy love that big jump feeling. love the vids legend!!!!
Thanks to your strong recommendations, Matt. I bought a marin bike. I did buy a cross bike because I mostly ride it to the pub 😂 but honestly, I'm stoked with how nice it is. I got the Muirwoods 29er
The raw clips at woben was just 😍
Omg i thought for a second you actually yeeted Cove😂.
Baby is looking so much like Matt already. That outro smile is 100% a Jones!
I literally gasped when that box nearly bashed lil man
Don’t let die the 27,5!!!
Omg scared the shit out of me when you moved the box and knocked your kid away 😅😅
Aww never knew that Matt is a father, it's sweet of Marin to send him a new bike, time to watch Matt goes Halo, & Ohlins in matter of minutes. Never ridden a 29 inch bike
Waited until the bonus clip to see if anyone was going to address little Cove homie almost knocking himself out with that ratchet wrench 😂❤ Can’t wait to see him shred!
That edit got me 😂😂😂
We need to see a dream build with this frame!
You just sent some Helfare Rival "Trousers" to Sweden for my wife. She loves them!
And yes @liamginty I did flinch. More than a little as well.
Now let's see some bmxs on the dirt jumps 😁
Wasn't expecting that, thought it was going to be the El Roy, but this looks rad!
That cove bop was hilarious
U wer right. We wer all questioning the reflectors
THE EDITTING AT 1:27 OMFGG
Hi Matt
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.
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.
Never thought I’d see Matt Jones riding with a Dork Disk 💯💯💯
the dork disk also definitely makes you faster as well
I'm your biggest fan matt
shutup about the hardtail that balance bike was the sickest thing i have ever seen, marin release it i will buy one
Matt, how well does the 29 hard tail fakie ?
That's what we all really want to know
So goooood!
Dork disc for the win!
Why do hardtails nowadays have really thin bars on the rear triangle? They don't look strong enough
I need one of those in my life!
Sick video and bike! When are you riding mini bikes again?
I was more concerned about the kickstand that I was the reflectors
I’ll be the dork disc button
If I rode faster trails I'd reconsider but I love the quick precise steering of 27.5.
I love my hardtail, I race against the full suspension guys on my hardtail 29” Nukeproof Scout.
Will there be a frame only option?
Incredible first run there 😂😂 just to clarify it’s a san Quentin hard tail 29er
It would be interesting trying out a san Quentin 29er mullet on jumps and downhill
when the kid got punted by the box
I grew up riding...hard (giggerty).
Hard in hard F&R.
Also with 18 gears, and cable pull caliper rim brakes
Yous lot dont know you're born!
The Marin bikes back then though were orgasmic to look at in comparison to anything else
😊
Not gonna lie Matt has got steezer by the day
Take the noddy disc off the back wheel 😂😂
Coming soon, upgrade video!
Matt Jones, you sound even smoother on the hard-tail than on a full-sus
Awesome handsome baby matt I'm proud of you and thanks for new video 😊
hahaahahah "ooooh the hardtail.. hardtaillll... 29er san quintin..." hahaha fuck that cracked me up
You should have done a little ASMR skit like that viral Bentley one and whispered "Hardtail..."
Is there a Matt channel I’m not aware of? How come we are not getting any of these down hill races or events?
I have a 29 inch hardtail as my first proper mountain bike. Haven’t used it on anything besides jumps 😅 and I’m not great at those 😅
What size did you cut the handlebars down to? Just recently purchased a ht 29er and the bars are massive.
I’m curious as well
maybe next you should try clipless pedals 😁
Yeahh mattt.lmuch love from Africa
That was a brutal edit lol
Please give the links to all the videos in the intro
Where's the Dunlops? 🤣⛳
Never heard Marin pronounced like that before!
Can’t find that camo jacket on your website? 😢
That dork disc🤣
Have you ever demoed an el Roy
I think you just sold me the hardtail
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? 🤔
Ditches the reflectors but rocks the dork disc STEEZE
Serious question: when can i buy that helfare camo hoody????
I’ve got two girls, I need a Marin balance bike!
Mr Jones we need more playground content
Imagine of they did this In an "E" verson 😮
Nice reflectors
Safety first!
Matt Jones does XC 😁
Will you ever open a Helfare shop in America?
Did you get a smaller frame to work with 29er
