Ready to push beyond the pavement? The Marin Bolinas Ridge 2 is your ticket to real trail riding with upgraded components, confident handling, and rugged durability to match your growing ambition. Whether you're rolling through local singletrack, flowing dirt park paths, or just craving a tougher ride, the Bolinas Ridge 2 delivers where it counts.
At the core of the Bolinas Ridge 2 is Marin’s Series 1 6061 aluminum frame, built around either 27.5” or 29” wheels depending on frame size, ensuring a proper fit and optimal handling for all riders. The low standover height makes for easy on/off and agile trail maneuvering, while forged 135mm dropouts with rack and fender mounts expand its utility beyond the trailhead. Internal cable routing offers clean lines and less maintenance, keeping your ride sharp and hassle-free.
Front suspension duties are handled by the SR Suntour XCM DS fork, offering 100mm of coil-sprung travel with preload adjustment to soak up hits and roots with ease. Whether you're a beginner or stepping up your game, the added control and comfort are a game-changer.
The drivetrain features a Shimano Altus 3x8-speed setup, offering 24 gears to conquer steep climbs, technical trails, and everything in between. With a 42/34/24T triple crankset and a SunRace 11-34T cassette, you’ll have the range to spin up tough gradients or hammer on the flats.
One of the biggest upgrades from the Bolinas Ridge 1 is the move to Clark’s Clout hydraulic disc brakes. Providing superior modulation and powerful stopping in all weather and terrain, these brakes give you the confidence to charge harder and descend with control.
Rolling on double-wall Marin alloy rims and grippy 2.25” wide off-road tires, the Bolinas Ridge 2 delivers excellent traction and a plush ride feel across loose dirt, roots, and rocky trails. A Marin 780mm riser bar and 45mm stem create a control-oriented cockpit for stable handling, while Marin MTB grips, saddle, and nylon platform pedals round out the durable, ready-to-ride build.
