2020 Marin Pine Mountain 2 Review

Jun 2020 · Logan Watts

The 2020 Pine Mountain 2 is an affordable bikepacking-specific trail hardtail with a record number of threaded eyelets. Here's the full review…

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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
