‪@MattJones‬ developed the San Quentin hardtail from the ground up. We wanted to know his thoughts on a 29er version before put it into production, so challenged him to race the Dual and DH at the 2023 Sea Otter Classic. Check out what went down!

That is such a great Ambassador for the sport... I'm in my mid-fifties which is really quite hard to even comprehend, but I still mountain bike quite aggressively and Matt is so well-spoken, cheerful, and enthusiastic that it makes me want to get on the bike everyday...

We agree - he's this nice and convivial in person when cameras are not rolling. What you see on KZfaq is how he is all the time.

They're hitting global markets at the moment, and provided your country's distributor ordered them, should be widely at the end of the year. Cheers!

@RomanMoroniesFargingWall 9 ай бұрын

Is it the same frame as the 27.5, and if not, will the 29er frame be available to purchase?

@marin_bikes 9 ай бұрын

Hi - it's a unique frame, designed around the larger wheels (and you can't stuff 29"s into the 27.5: frame). At this point the frame option is limited to the 27.5" version, but time will tell if we add a 29" specific variant on down the line.

@RomanMoroniesFargingWall 9 ай бұрын

@@marin_bikes Thank you for the info. I've been window shopping the SQ for ~18mo now. It certainly ticks a lot of my boxes. If you're tallying votes from internet randos: add me to the "yes, please" category. 🫣

A 29 inch San Quentin I certainly did not expect that, even I support Marin due to myself being born in California supporting those locally, and I am betting Matt Jones is going to switch to Ohlin forks.

27.5" is going to feel a bit more playful and also have a slightly stronger wheel than 29", while the larger size wheels will smooth things out a bit in rougher conditions.
