The Marin Pine Mountain 1 is our budget-friendly steel bikepacking mountain bike hardtail.
It features fully updated geometry, a series 2 double-butted CrMo frame and all the bikepacking mounts you’ll ever need. All that, combined with a 120mm RockShox Recon RL fork, grippy and dependable Vee Tire co. Flow Snap 2.6” tire, Shimano shifting and our much-loved Marin Bedroll handlebar.
STEEL IS REAL
The Pine Mountain 1 uses a butted and formed Series 2 4130 CrMo frame with Boost 141mm dropouts, full fender and rack mounts, and tons of bosses for a wide variety of gear mounting options. Step up to Series 3 tubing and cast thru-axle dropouts with the Pine Mountain 2. Both Pine Mountain models feature internal dropper post routing.
BIKEPACKING ABILITIES
The Pine Mountain features brazed-in cargo attachment points throughout the front triangle for carrying all of the water and gear one needs for a proper adventure. The Marin-designed Bedroll Bar features a 50mm rise and a long, straight top bar for cleanly mounting handlebar packs away from cables and controls, and also mounting, lights, phones, cycle computers, or whatever else catches your fancy. Available exclusively on the Pine Mountain and Pine Mountain E series.
TRAIL GEOMETRY
The Pine Mountain Trail Geometry is a mix between agility for trail riding, and all day comfort for bikepacking. Short chainsstays keep a shorter wheelbase for that active ride, while a 66.5 degree head angle makes for confident steering with or without the weight of gear.
TUBELESS READY 29”
Tubeless-ready 32mm internal dimension rims and 2.6” tires give the Pine Mountain a comfortable ride with huge traction and ability to roll up and over large obstacles, while still being light enough to pedal and fast enough to rip singletrack.
