Hardtails aren't just for riding on fire roads and tame singletrack. They are perfect for getting rowdy and having fun on the descents too. The Marin San Quentin 3 29" Bike is built for aggressive trail riding. It has a Series 3 6061 aluminum frame that uses 140mm of travel on the front. The frame features internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, modern trail geometry, ISCG tabs, and Boost 12x148mm dropouts on the rear.
The 3 version of the Marin San Quentin Bike comes with a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain. The gearing is perfect for those steep hills and longer adventures out on the singletrack. TRP Slate EVO 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent stopping power so you can descend with confidence. Marin Aluminum Double-Wall tubeless-ready rims are paired with Maxxis Assegai Tires that can be set up tubeless for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flats. With the TranzX Dropper Post, you'll be able to quickly lift and lower your saddle with the press of a button for more efficient climbing and safer descending with a lower center of gravity.

We get a lot of questions about e-bikes, especially the Orbea Rise, so we figured we’d throw up a quick long-term review of one from one of the employees here at Jenson, Alex. Alex lives up in the mountains here in Southern California and has to do a fair bit of climbing and pedaling around at his local trail system to get to trails. Because he is in such high elevation, oxygen levels are different and make it a bit more difficult to breathe. This alone made it hard for him to enjoy long rides, especially when temperatures drop and snow season arrives.
The Norco Optic and Sight are a couple of the most popular trail and all-mountain bikes available, respectively. New for 2024, Norco has completely updated their suspension platform, moving from a traditional 4-bar design to a high-pivot 4-bar design to increase versatility. No matter how much travel you choose, a high pivot bike will be able to punch above its weight class.

Brand new for 2024, Orbea has released a new, trail-focused version of the Occam; the Occam SL.

With so many choices of bikes you can choose to purchase, not all of them are made to fit every rider out there. Some bikes may be too progressive, some too long, some too short, etc. When a bike comes from the factory, it may not be totally suitable for the rider which leads to more money coming out of pocket to help tailor a more fitting ride. Luckily, there are brands out there who know this is a problem so they make adjustments from the factory to help better fit their customer base. One of these brands is Juliana Bicycles.
