The idea is simple: a rigid rear end that's light, direct and efficient, paired with a proper 130mm-travel coil fork up front to take the worst of the trail hits off the front wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's equipped with a 1x9-speed microSHIFT drivetrain (32T chainring, 11-46T cassette) with a clutch-equipped derailleur to keep the chain under control over rough ground, Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes on 180mm rotors front and rear for strong, consistent stopping, and wide 2.5in tyres on tubeless-compatible rims for grip on loose and rocky surfaces. The bike is offered in both 27.5in and 29in wheel options, so the ride character can be tuned toward either agility or roll-over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the bike for a rider who wants to climb and descend hard on genuine trail terrain without paying for rear suspension they may not strictly need - someone who values a direct, efficient pedalling feel on the way up as much as confidence on the way down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhy You'll Like It\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA coil fork that actually works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e130mm of coil-sprung travel from the SR Suntour XCM34 soaks up square-edge hits that a budget air fork often struggles with, giving real descending confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGearing built for steep trail climbs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 11-46T cassette on a 32T chainring gives a genuinely usable climbing gear, which matters on technical, punchy trail climbs rather than smooth fire roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig rotors for hard trail braking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e180mm rotors front and rear with Tektro hydraulic brakes give the stopping power you want when speeds pick up on a descent, not just token braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWide tyres with real volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 2.5in wide and tubeless-ready, the stock tyres offer meaningfully more grip and cushioning than a narrower hardtail tyre, especially once run tubeless at lower pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo wheel sizes, one geometry philosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoosing between 27.5in and 29in lets a rider pick agility or roll-over speed without compromising on the bike's modern trail geometry either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe San Quentin 1 suits a rider who wants a genuinely capable trail hardtail for climbing and descending on real singletrack, without the extra cost and maintenance of a rear shock. It rewards an active riding style - someone who's happy to let their legs and arms do some of the work a rear shock would otherwise handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn India, this fits a rider based near one of the country's MTB trail networks or hill-station riding spots who wants a hardcore hardtail that won't buckle under aggressive trail use, and who'd rather put the budget saved on a shock into tyres, a dropper, or trail time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's also a strong next step for a rider moving up from an entry-level hardtail who wants more descending confidence and bigger brakes, without jumping straight to a full-suspension bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tubeless-compatible rims and tyres mean a tubeless conversion is straightforward whenever you want lower rolling resistance and better pinch-flat protection on the trail. The clutch-equipped rear derailleur keeps the chain quiet and seated over rough ground, so drivetrain noise and dropped chains stay rare even on rough descents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e: Series 2 6061 aluminium, double butted, 141mm open rear dropout, 73mm threaded BB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork\u003c\/strong\u003e: SR Suntour XCM34, Boost 15x110mm, 130mm travel, coil spring, bolt-on thru-axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShock\u003c\/strong\u003e: N\/A - hardtail, no rear suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Bracket\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sealed cartridge, square taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain\u003c\/strong\u003e: KMC X-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrank\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin forged alloy, 170mm, 32T steel narrow-wide chainring, Boost spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShift Levers\u003c\/strong\u003e: microSHIFT SL-M9195-R, 1x9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCassette\u003c\/strong\u003e: SunRace, 9-speed, 11-46T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Derailleur\u003c\/strong\u003e: N\/A - 1x drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Derailleur\u003c\/strong\u003e: microSHIFT RD-M9195M, with clutch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip\/Tape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin MTN grips, closed end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandlebar\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin mini-riser, 6061 aluminium, 780mm width, 28mm rise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin 3D forged alloy, 45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin Speed Concept\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeatpost\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin alloy, 30.9mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Brake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tektro M275 hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Brake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tektro M275 hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin double-wall aluminium rim (29mm internal width), forged alloy hub (110x15mm), 32H, 14g black stainless spokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin double-wall aluminium rim (29mm internal width), forged alloy hub (141mm QR), 32H, 14g black stainless spokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Tire\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27.5\/29x2.5\", wire-bead, tubeless-compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Tire\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27.5\/29x2.5\", wire-bead, tubeless-compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePedal\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marin MTB plastic platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImported By: Ciclo Essentials Private Limited, B-55A, Sahakar Marg, Jaipur - 302005, India.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Quantity: 1N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomer Care Address: 291, 10 Main, 5 Block, Jayanagar, Bangalore - 560041.
