COMMUTING

CITY TRANSIT

Balancing performance and value, our mid-point Marin Presidio 2 gets a whole load of upgrades over its base model. We’ve built a fast, fun and exciting commuter with a lightweight Series 2 aluminum frame and straight-blade fork. We’ve added a whole load of simplicity and reliability with an internally-geared, Shimano Nexus 7-speed drivetrain, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, Vee Tire tires and plenty of reliable Marin components.

Technology

Marin Presidio 3 at the Petaluma, CA SMART station

LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM FRAMES

Presidio frames are constructed of lightweight 6061 aluminum tubing with rack and fender mounts. Series 2 tubing on the Presidio 3 and 2 models add internal cable routing, and belt drive compatible forged slider dropouts for internally geared hubs.

MARIN SLIDER DROPOUTS

Our new slider dropouts were created specifically to bring the best technologies for commute bikes into a clean and tidy package. The dropouts slide to tension belts and chains, while incorporating flat mount disc brakes, and a direct mount rear kickstand to support the bike where weight is centered with gear.

DISC BRAKES

TIRE CLEARANCE

Reviews

I submit that the Marin Presidio 2 might be the perfect bike for the times we live in. It’s billed as a city transit bike, but it’s certainly more comfortable for long rides than the gym bike your buddy was using before. With slick tyres, flat bars, internal gearing, and disc brakes, the Presidio 2 can do anything a beginner would want. If the bug really bites and you decide to upgrade to a road or mountain bike, the Presidio’s reliable build will mean that it will see years of use as a town/commuter bike. Rated 9/10
