Marin Bolinas Ridge 2 27.5er (Blue)
733936003
Product Story
A real mountain bike for the recreational rider ready to step up from fire roads into genuine singletrack, with hydraulic brakes and a wider drivetrain range than the entry-level Bolinas Ridge 1.
Overview
The Marin Bolinas Ridge 2 27.5er (Blue) is built around a Series 1 6061 aluminum frame designed to work across both 27.5" and 29" wheel sizes, with genuine trail geometry.
It pairs an SR Suntour XCM DS suspension fork offering 100mm of travel with a full Shimano Altus 3x8-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes - a meaningful step up from the Bolinas Ridge 1's mechanical setup in both braking power and gear range.
This is a bike for a rider wanting to step from pavement or fire roads into genuine singletrack and dirt trail riding, with a bit more capability than the entry-level model.
Why You'll Like It
A frame built around trail geometry
The Series 1 6061 aluminum frame balances durability with a comfortable, manageable overall weight, and works with either 27.5" or 29" wheels.
Suspension tuned for rough trail
The SR Suntour XCM DS fork gives 100mm of travel with preload adjustment, smoothing out rough trail sections that a rigid fork would transmit straight to your hands.
A wider gear range than the entry model
The full Shimano Altus 3x8-speed drivetrain gives a wider gear range than the Bolinas Ridge 1, making steep climbs more manageable.
Hydraulic brakes for confident stopping
Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes give confident, consistent stopping power in all conditions, where a mechanical setup would fade.
Who Is It For?
Suited to recreational riders wanting to step from pavement or fire roads into genuine singletrack and dirt trail riding, with a bit more drivetrain range and braking power than the entry-level Bolinas Ridge 1.
For riders in India exploring trail systems near most major cities, where surfaces shift quickly between packed dirt, loose gravel, and rock, the extra braking power and gear range here matter on longer, more varied rides.
Good to Know
This 27.5" wheel size keeps the bike nimble on tighter trails; the same Bolinas Ridge 2 is also available with 29" wheels.
