You're welcome

Thanks for choosing us!

We are working on it - please hang in there

Certainly!

Yes, the XL should fit you fine. We have a sizing guide on the Kentfield page, click on the blue circle with question mark next to "size range" on the left side. www.marinbikes.com/bikes/2024-kentfield-2

The Stinson is a "comfort bike," designed for a more relaxed, cruiser-like ride. Wider tires and saddle, a bit less "sporting" and designed more for bike path cruising. The Kentfield is a bit sportier in nature. It really depends on your preference/riding style.

Hey! It’s a douchebags backpack pro! Best bag I ever had! 👊🏼

Have you looked at our El Roy? www.marinbikes.com/ww/bikes/family/el-roy

@@marin_bikes Yes indeed El Roy is a fantastic bike👍🏽 But maybe in the distant future I'm hoping against hope you guys will give us San Quentin 29 ers Even if it doesn't happen, I'll still choose Marin 😁 Thanks for your reply Lots of love Tobi

Well, the top gear is a 38x11, and at 90 RPM you'd be humming along at 25.5 MPH. That being said, Kentfields are geared more towards fitness/commuting/recreational riding, not mashing big gears. You can check this calculator to find out the speeds in each gear: www.bikecalc.com/speed_at_cadence

We are doing what we can - apologies for delays.

I am only 1 or 2cm taller so I think a Large would be ideal but I also think a medium would work well too!

Certainly - provided the bike isn't overloaded beyond our stated weight limits (300lbs/136kg rider + up to 30lbs/14kg gear).

Muirwoods would probably be the one for you

There should be recommended tyre pressures written on the side of the tyre. We suggest going in the middle of these 2 numbers, that way you will have a bit of extra traction for any winter based surprises on the surfaces you are riding on

Hi Eddie - as the Kentfield 1 and 2 share frames (under the paint), the drivetrain swap could be done. However, it's an upgrade that you'd have to work with your local bike shop to handle. We don't offer the models with custom specifications.

@@marin_bikes Thank you for your reply. I think I am between sizes at 6'2" (188cm) Do you recommend the L or XL frame please?

@@eddieforbes3054 Hi Eddie - I am a tick shorter than you and personally prefer the XL. My 34" inseam means that I have a lot of seatpost showing.

@@marin_bikes Thank you. I believe my inseam is the same as yours. I think the reason I was hesitant going with the XL was because although I love the more upright geometry of this model I feared the extra long head tube would look ridiculous. So this is not the case?

@@eddieforbes3054 Well, if anything you'll probably sit a bit more upright on a smaller frame, as you won't be as stretched out on a bike with a shorter reach. The XL Kentfield does have a rather generous headtube, which was designed to put the rider in position that we feel best suits the bike style, without having to use a lot of headset spacers.

Hello Braulio - 42t is the max.

Oh I am not sure actually. Maybe someone at Marin can comment on this?

Hello - the Kentfiled is rated to carry up to 300lb/135kg of combined gear and cargo.

That is exactly what this bike will be good for ;) - for your height we would recommend a size small

​@@marin_bikes okay thank you! So, now I know what I need... I hope that this 'bicycle wonder' ;) will be available through any of the Polish dealers! 🤞

Hi - while the Kentfield is designed around 700c wheels, you could certainly run 650b wheels, gaining some tire width in the process.

Medium

How tall are you?

I am 180cm tall

@@duncshaw Hi Duncan my height is 188cm, Which size should I go for this bike?

I am also 188cm and just picked up and xl kentfield 2.

@@01AceAlpha how do you find XL size for you ?

@@qhar it is a very comfortable bike to ride. Fits me very well!

They will be both relatively similar....... a chilled climb where you get where you need to be without breaking into too much of a sweat

@@marin_bikes thanks for the reply, i thought K2 might be a bit faster with the 10 speed, sounds like not much difference? sorry i don't know nothing about bikes haha

Oh, good spot!

Oh man my bad 😳

hi Kristian - it really depends on personal preference when you are on the bubble between sizes. For instance, I am also on the bubble between the two and generally go for the larger. Your 86cm inseam means you have longer legs, so go with the XL to ensure proper leg extension.

@@marin_bikes I might have fatfingered the numpad, inseam is 83cm not 86cm

@@noXza_ Ah, gotcha. I might go with the large. What's best is going to a shop and having you try out a few different bikes to find the one you feel is most comfortable for you.

@@marin_bikes I would love to go and test them out in a shop, sadly no one in Denmark has them in stock, I think there is 1 shop here that has 4 of the MTB's in stock but that's it.

@@noXza_ Understood, but perhaps there is another bike at the shop with similar geometry that you can try out.

Steve at Hardtail Party had a Team Marin 2 for review, and that should go live in the coming weeks. kzfaq.info/love/wDvZTTIQ6Qz-xfZ-QXXuSw

Test ride both -- they are really pretty similar and priced pretty close to each other. I chose the Kentfield because it's a little more upright and comfortable for me. You lose the hydraulic brakes of the Presidio. They have a slightly different tires too. The Kentfield brake lines route through the frame, which is nice to keep them out of the way and prevent damage.

@@vwmullen -Spot on.

Depends on your set up, but we don't see why it couldn't handle some gravel/ tarmac based touring

@@marin_bikes awesome! My worry was that it would flex too much if I load both the front and rear with bags/panniers. I want something that can double as my commuter bike so this seems like a great and affordable option.

@@boybusilakbikes No problem. The bike is rated for a rider up to 300 lbs (136kg) + 30 lbs (14kg) of cargo/luggage, so it's more than up for most general commuting for most riders. Cheers.

@@marin_bikes wow that's awesome. Thank you.

@@boybusilakbikes you bet!

Hi Batman - you're on the bubble between L and XL, so it really comes down to your proportions and preferences. If you have longer legs or arms, it might be wise to bump up to the XL, so the bike doesn't feel as cramped.

@@marin_bikes Thanks for your advice. I have ordered the XL. Looking forward to riding it, hopefully I won't need a ladder to get on top of it!

@@marin_bikes Hello, it’s seems that you have updated the Kentfield size guide, and now L is up to 188 cm?

@@Batman-py2dy Yes, we found an error in the previously published guide.

@@marin_bikes please advise what’s the best way to contact you in Australia. I ordered XL based on the old size chart and advice above. I feel a stretch in the arms, back and lats when I rode it. Need to swap it with a L please.

You can contact our Indian Distributor here www.marinbikes.com/ww/international-distributors

Unfortunately we don't have weights for our bikes

Someone else did a review, It weights 28lbs

We have done them in the past, maybe its time to re look at it

Hi Lee - Shimano B03S pads will do the trick.

Colors are subjective, but as long as you like one of them we are happy
