The Bolinas Ridge 2 is Marin's do-it-all trail hardtail, a lightweight aluminum frame paired with upgraded Tektro hydraulic brakes, Shimano Essa 8 speed derailleur and an upgraded coil fork, built to handle everything from gravel path cruises to steep singletracks while still staying affordable.

The adjustable coil suspension fork smooths out roots and rocks so you stay in control on rough ground, while hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, effortless stopping in mud, gravel or rain. Wide-range gearing means climbs stay manageable and flats stay fast. Knobby tires dig in where road and gravel bikes wash out.

Comfortable, upright geometry keeps you relaxed on long rides, and the durable build holds up to daily commuting just as well as weekend trail time. It's one bike that genuinely does everything.

What's different from the Bolinas Ridge 1?
The biggest upgrade is the brakes — hydraulic instead of mechanical, which means lighter lever pull, better control, and no cable stretch to adjust over time. The drivetrain steps up too, with a wider gear range and simpler shifting for less adjustment fuss and more durability on the trail. You also get a better fork and a nicer finishing kit. Same great frame, noticeably better ride.
