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

Geometry needs a refresh
