Marin Bolinas Ridge — Real Trails, Real Fun, Real Value
Step off the pavement and into adventure with the Marin Bolinas Ridge—a true trail-capable hardtail built for new riders and weekend warriors seeking a reliable, confidence-inspiring ride. Whether you're tackling your local singletrack or exploring dirt paths with friends, the Bolinas Ridge delivers a dialed blend of control, comfort, and versatility without breaking the bank.
Designed around a Series 1 6061 aluminum frame, the Bolinas Ridge offers durable performance and modern trail geometry with low standover height for easy maneuverability. Available in both 27.5" and 29" wheel sizes, it’s built to fit a wide range of riders and ride styles. A chainstay-mounted disc brake design ensures clean aesthetics and optimal braking power where it counts.
At the front, the SR Suntour XCE suspension fork offers 100mm of travel and preload adjustment to smooth out roots, rocks, and rough terrain. The Marin double-wall alloy rims laced to forged alloy hubs keep things light, strong, and ready to roll wherever the trail leads.
Powering the ride is a Shimano Tourney 3x7 drivetrain, offering 21 gears to help you climb steep hills, cruise flats, and descend with control. Paired with a triple-ring alloy crankset and an 11-34T cassette, this drivetrain is perfect for navigating varied trail gradients and terrain.
When it comes to stopping power, the Power CX7 mechanical disc brakes—compatible with Shimano pads—deliver reliable, all-conditions braking with 160mm rotors front and rear. Whether you’re riding in rain, mud, or loose gravel, you can count on strong, predictable braking.
Ergonomics matter, especially for newer riders. That’s why the Bolinas Ridge features a 780mm-wide Marin riser handlebar for stable control, a short 45mm stem for responsive steering, and Marin MTB grips for long-ride comfort. A Marin MTB saddle and 27.2mm alloy seatpost round out the contact points to keep you focused on the fun.
