The San Quentin 1 is our bang-for-your-buck hardcore hardtail that looks and rides like a bike twice the price. Because why should fewer dollars in the bank mean fewer good times on the trails?

We've packed in an SR Suntour XCM34 suspension fork, Vee Tire Co tires, Tektro disc brakes and a load of awesome Marin components to create a bike you’ll love to rip, but that won’t shred your budget. And we've given it a bad-ass paint job that'll cut it alongside those big-bucks bikes.

DIRT JUMP INSPIRED FRAME STYLE

Taking cues from the Alcatraz, the San Quentin line up provides all the benefits of the DJ style with massive stand over, slick frame tubes, and a sexy paint job.

MODERN TRAIL GEOMETRY

The slack head tube angle paired with a steep seat tube angle create a ride that will fly uphill with perfect front wheel precision but then descend like it’s on rails. The balanced rider position thanks to the steep seat tube puts your weight between the wheels for impressive climbing and handling on flats, while the slack front end and short rear center help to pull you through the rough descents and corners with an intuitive feel.
