Get ready to explore the trails with the Marin Bolinas Ridge 1 2026 Hardtail Mountain Bike in striking Orange/Black. Designed to deliver an excellent balance of performance, reliability and value, the Bolinas Ridge 1 is a fantastic choice for riders who are new to mountain biking or simply want an affordable, low-maintenance bike for getting off the beaten track.
Built around a lightweight Series 1 6061 aluminium frame, the Bolinas Ridge 1 provides a confident and comfortable ride without the price tag of a high-end trail bike. Its relaxed geometry, low standover height and capable suspension make it an ideal mountain bike for exploring local trails, bridleways, towpaths and off-road routes around Liverpool and beyond.
Built for Fun Off-Road
At the front, the SR Suntour XCE Disc suspension fork provides 100mm of travel and preload adjustment, helping absorb bumps and rougher sections of trail. Combined with wide 2.25" MTB tyres, the Bolinas Ridge 1 offers plenty of grip and control when riding on loose, uneven and muddy surfaces.
Stopping power comes from dependable Tektro MDM280 mechanical disc brakes, with 160mm rotors front and rear. Mechanical disc brakes provide consistent braking performance in a variety of conditions, making them a great choice for riders looking to venture further off-road.
The bike's Shimano Tourney 2x7-speed drivetrain gives you 14 gears to choose from, making it easier to tackle everything from steady climbs to faster sections of trail. The straightforward setup is easy to use and helps keep maintenance costs down.
27.5" or 29" Wheels for the Right Fit
Marin offers the Bolinas Ridge 1 with different wheel sizes depending on frame size:
- 27.5" wheels: XS, S and M
- 29" wheels: M, L and XL
This size-specific approach helps provide the right balance of handling, stability and fit across the range. Smaller 27.5" wheels offer a nimble, responsive feel, while the larger 29" wheels roll efficiently over obstacles and provide additional stability at speed.
