The 2020 Pine Mountain 2 is an affordable bikepacking-specific trail hardtail with a record number of threaded eyelets. Here's the full review…
A happy-medium geometry that offers a snappy feel on the trail, solid climbing prowess, and a fairly stable ride
Built around 29 x 2.6” tires
Unbelievable amount of bosses and a downloadable diagram for making a custom frame bag
Well-priced as an entry level bikepacking bike, but there are a few needed upgrades
Vee Flow Snap tires are horrible and dangerous
Geometry misses the ideal mark with a reach that’s a little too short
Not as compliant as the older model
Heavy build with few disappointing components; handlebar is too stiff and fork is just okay

Steel frame absorbs vibrations
Geometry needs a refresh

You'll need razor-sharp skills to get the Pine Mountain rolling at serious speeds, but it's got no shortage of simple charm. Buy if you want a refreshingly straightforward steed for savouring cross-country excursions rather than bombing trails
Appealing retro simplicity, lively character, excellent as an adventure bike
Geometry and rigid setup mean only the most skilful riders will want to cane it on the pine mountain, quick-release wheels detract from handling accuracy
