The San Quentin 1 is a dream bike for aggressive hardtail trail riders. It combines singletrack prowess with the ability to catch big air. This bike features a Series 2 aluminum frame, tapered head tubes, 3D forged drop - outs, IS brake mounts, and semi - internal cable routing. Inspired by the Alcatraz, it has a DJ - style design with a large stand - over, sleek frame tubes, and an eye - catching paint job. The slack head tube angle and steep seat tube angle offer a great ride. It climbs uphill with front - wheel precision and descends smoothly like a train on tracks. The steep seat tube gives a balanced rider position, putting your weight between the wheels for excellent climbing and flat handling. The slack front end and short rear center make rough descents and cornering intuitive.


Using the Marin San Quentin 1 is a breeze. Just hop on, adjust the seat to your comfort, and start pedaling. When climbing, the balanced position helps you use your energy efficiently. On descents, the slack front end and short rear center give you better control. For safety, always wear a helmet and appropriate protective gear. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the brakes for proper functioning. Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth pedaling. Also, inspect the tires for wear and tear and maintain the right tire pressure. Store the bike in a dry place to prevent rusting and damage to the frame and components.
