Marin mountain bikes come from the birthplace of modern MTB — Marin County, California. They carry that same spirit of exploration and playfulness, with bikes made for real riders who want to ride more, try new lines and come home grinning.
What makes Marin MTBs special?
Marin focus on trail-ready geometry, solid kit choices and bikes that feel fun from the very first ride. From capable hardtails to do-it-all trail bikes and dirt jump rigs, their range is tuned for riders who value character as much as performance. Whether you’re spinning mellow loops in our Trail MTB category or lapping the pump track and jump lines in Hardtail MTBs, there’s a Marin that fits.
Key things to consider
- Ride style — from versatile trail hardtails to more progressive long-travel builds.
- Playfulness vs efficiency — many Marin bikes lean toward a lively, “let’s try that line” feel.
- Where you ride — local woods, trail centres, bike parks or street and dirt jump spots.
If you’re choosing your first proper MTB or upgrading an older bike, our Mountain Bike Guide is a great place to start. It explains categories, geometry and suspension so you can pick the Marin that matches how you actually ride — and how you want to ride next.
