Matt Jones rides the NEW Marin San Quentin 29
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2023
- @MattJones developed the San Quentin hardtail from the ground up. We wanted to know his thoughts on a 29er version before put it into production, so challenged him to race the Dual and DH at the 2023 Sea Otter Classic. Check out what went down!

marin made the right choice by choosing mattjone as a rider especially for HT.matt is HT legend
100%
That is such a great Ambassador for the sport... I'm in my mid-fifties which is really quite hard to even comprehend, but I still mountain bike quite aggressively and Matt is so well-spoken, cheerful, and enthusiastic that it makes me want to get on the bike everyday...
We agree - he's this nice and convivial in person when cameras are not rolling. What you see on RUclips is how he is all the time.
I got back into mountain biking because Matt’s videos. Happy owner of a 27,5” san quentin 3 now. My first mtb was a Bear Valley with that cool zolatone paintwork. Then I rode a Nail Trail through multiple wheel sets (canti brakes eat through the sidewalls). Marin still fun for me.
Matt great effort and result,love your bike.Great colour combo.
That's it. I'm buying one of those as soon as they arrive to my country! Maybe for Christmas? I'll have to make room for the box then :)
They're hitting global markets at the moment, and provided your country's distributor ordered them, should be widely at the end of the year. Cheers!
Congratulations on the awesome time with the awesome bicycle obviously!
Matt is such a humble chill dude.

Epic vid & riding 🎉
Epicccc!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Hell ya my brother. Reppin the hardtail gang!!! 💪💪💪🤙 Congrats! What a cool spot too. Had no idea they did this at Laguna Seca.
🤙
29" wheels on the SQ3! That's gonna be fun!
Lots of love, cheers, & mabuhay, from my end--the Philippines! #RideOn #KeepBiking
A LOT of FUN
Awesome video!
all done by Matt and Ben
This is what I've been waiting for...a 29er SQ! 🤩
happy we could deliver
@@marin_bikes : I hope it will be available soon in my country (Indonesia).
Good video! I love my 27.5 SQ3 it’s a very unique and fun. I purposely purchased it as I was sick of my 29er and feeling like I was riding a tractor lol! I’m hoping you make the El Roy in 27.5 soon 😉
Right on!
Man this awesome. Just right into with a stock bike! Matt was actually the reason I bought san quentin. Favorite bike I have ever had.
Excellent, glad you are enjoying your SQ!
Man I wish they had a 29” when I got mine. I have a 2021 SQ2. It’s cool. But I def would rather have this thing by far
Maybe next time...
@mattjones pls bring back the Marin X Helfare jersey
Nice win Matt
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh what a good bike, Happy to see Good Year tire instead of Vee Tire
Im still with 27.5 😅
Lucky we do a 27.5 version too ;)
Matt Jones seems a great guy, the SQ3 looks like a decent bike, I’m loving my Rift Zone 2
awesome to hear
Awesome, when will the 29" frame kit option be available?
No current plans, but maybe eventually?
I love your content Matt but that hair is somethin else mate.
Nice to see you're having so much fun on that hardtail.
We are going to put hair guidelines into his contract ;)
Matt definitely needs to do more racing 😂
100%
@marinbikesoffical any idea why the 2024 29r has two lots of graphics for the Bomber Fork?
To keep you on your toes.
Is it the same frame as the 27.5, and if not, will the 29er frame be available to purchase?
Hi - it's a unique frame, designed around the larger wheels (and you can't stuff 29"s into the 27.5: frame). At this point the frame option is limited to the 27.5" version, but time will tell if we add a 29" specific variant on down the line.
@@marin_bikes Thank you for the info. I've been window shopping the SQ for ~18mo now. It certainly ticks a lot of my boxes. If you're tallying votes from internet randos: add me to the "yes, please" category. 🫣
Does this replace the 27.5 version?
it will run parallel to it
For god sake... Im gonna have to buy one of these bikes now........
Is the 29 version gonna be available as frame only as well?
Watch this space.....
So the new SQ or an El Roy? I need a hardtail!
why not both? ;)
I still can't decided between a 27.5 or 29 San Quentin... opinions please?
27.5" is going to feel a bit more playful and also have a slightly stronger wheel than 29", while the larger size wheels will smooth things out a bit in rougher conditions.
The hardtail is sick but not as sick as a Marin DH rig 😎🤘
A 29 inch San Quentin I certainly did not expect that, even I support Marin due to myself being born in California supporting those locally, and I am betting Matt Jones is going to switch to Ohlin forks.
I love Marin too but they are owned by a European company and made in china :P
@@billysbikes8671 They will have my respect
You sure about all that?
@marinbikesofficial so Minestrone doesn't own Marin and the bike aren't made in China? Not that I care, I love your lineup.
So this footage is from April?
Yes, filmed at the Sea Otter classic. He was out on a pre-production sample, hidden in plain sight.
It says 27.5" on Marin website
video beat the website update - its online now
Watch out Marins HT SQ3 29er prices will be going up soon 😅
You sure about that? Over the last year we have reduced prices across our lineup as shipping charges have dramatically decreased.
Noooo! I ordered one 2 weeks ago cause it’s 27,5 only! Lol No 29 for san Quentin!!!😢
Congrats to Matt! Best Rider for that bike!!! Gimme some skill 😂
Mullet Version (party out back buisness up front)???
hmmm.......
Can I get a Hello?
Hello.
I'd bet matt jones would have more fun on a 27.5 alpine trail
I'd bet he'd have fun on any Marin bike ;)
@@marin_bikes true unless it's a road bike 😅
I haven’t been in kindergarten in a while and I’m still as smart as a kindergartner. 😂😂😂😂
Marin Hompeage is updated. San Quentin 27,5 is deleted. only 29 san quentin available. RIP 27,5 san quentin.
i think there is also a 27,5 rift zone missing.... ;-(
@@schnitzlfritzl you caught us midway doing some site updates. Those models are still around
@@marin_bikes hehe seems to be. its back again;-) $ price in german needs an € sign hehe
@@schnitzlfritzl Yep, still updating... we'll get the pricing corrected Friday EU time.
Why does the bike rattle so much
Great question! Its a hardtail riding fast over rough terrain so the chain makes more noise than a full suspension.
no chance this guy is not fit for the job
Good point!
@@marin_bikesteam up with Juliet Elliott from marion or get him XC bike training program and hi will be no1 in few months
Matt “annoying” Jones…
sorry you feel that way
cool
