Get ready to hit the trails with the Marin Bolinas Ridge 2 2026 Hardtail Mountain Bike, finished in a striking Tan Turquoise colourway. Designed to deliver an excellent combination of performance, reliability and value, the Bolinas Ridge 2 is an ideal choice for riders looking to get into mountain biking, explore local trails or simply enjoy the freedom of riding off-road.
As the upgraded model in the Bolinas Ridge range, the Marin Bolinas Ridge 2 takes things a step further with a capable SR Suntour XCM suspension fork, powerful Tektro M280 hydraulic disc brakes and a dependable Shimano 1x8-speed drivetrain. It’s a straightforward, confidence-inspiring hardtail that's ready for everything from woodland tracks and bridleways to more challenging mountain bike trails.
Built for Off-Road Adventure
At the heart of the Bolinas Ridge 2 is a lightweight Series 1 6061 aluminium frame, designed with a low standover height to make getting on and off the bike easy while providing a comfortable, confident riding position.
The SR Suntour XCM DS fork provides 100mm of suspension travel, helping absorb bumps and rough sections of trail while the preload adjustment allows you to fine-tune the fork to suit your riding style.
Grip comes from wide 2.25" MTB tyres, providing plenty of traction across loose, muddy and uneven surfaces. Depending on frame size, the Bolinas Ridge 2 is equipped with either agile 27.5" wheels on XS–M sizes or faster-rolling 29" wheels on M–XL sizes, helping ensure the bike feels well balanced and appropriately sized for the rider.
Simple, Reliable 1x8-Speed Gearing
The Shimano Essa 1x8-speed drivetrain keeps gear selection simple, with a single front chainring and a wide enough range for tackling both climbs and faster sections of trail. The 32-tooth narrow-wide chainring helps maintain chain security when riding over rough terrain, while Shimano Altus shifting provides reliable gear changes.
For stopping power, the Bolinas Ridge 2 features Tektro M280 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors front and rear. Hydraulic braking offers strong, controllable stopping performance with excellent modulation – particularly useful when descending trails or riding in changeable conditions.
Ready to Ride the Trails
Marin has equipped the Bolinas Ridge 2 with a range of practical and durable components, including Marin alloy finishing kit, a wide 780mm riser handlebar for increased control, an FSA headset, Marin MTB saddle and nylon platform pedals.
Whether you're a complete beginner looking for your first mountain bike, a returning rider wanting a low-maintenance hardtail, or simply after an affordable bike for exploring off-road, the Bolinas Ridge 2 is built to make getting out on the trails easy and enjoyable.
