The San Quentin 3 27.5 is the top-spec version of Marin's hardcore hardtail, made for aggressive trail riders who want a blend of singletrack ability and extended air time. It brings a Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork, Shimano Deore 12-speed and TRP 4-piston brakes to a tough, playful frame.
The Series 3 double-butted aluminium frame has internal cable routing and a Boost 148x12mm thru-axle for added stiffness. Its style takes cues from Marin's Alcatraz dirt jump bike, with plenty of standover, slick frame tubes and a striking paint job. Modern trail geometry pairs a slack head angle with a steep seat angle, putting your weight between the wheels for efficient climbing while the slack front end and short rear centre pull you through rough descents and corners with an intuitive feel.
The 140mm Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork is a big step up in control, Shimano Deore 12-speed with an 11-51T cassette gives a huge gear range, and TRP Slate EVO 4-piston brakes with a 203mm front rotor bring serious stopping power. Maxxis Assegai tyres on wide 29mm rims and a TranzX dropper complete the build.
The San Quentin 3 27.5 is available in sizes S and M. For sizes M, L and XL, see the 29" version here.
