Getting fit doesn't have to be work. Marin Redwood is built with positioning, safety and rider enjoyment in mind—so riding it remains fun!

  • Designed for comfort, the Redwood features a front shock with 63mm travel and a suspension seat post, all to soften the bumps along the way
  • Lightweight aluminum frame accelerates quickly under your pedal power; it's also easily moved onto or off a car rack
  • Adjustable stem lets you set the height of the handlebar, thus adjusting your forward lean; overall, the Redwood provides an upright ride
  • And an upright ride reduces pressure in your hands, wrists and shoulders; it also can increase safety as it allows a greater field of view
  • Shimano shifters and derailleurs provide intuitive, responsive shifting
  • The forward triple chainring and rear eight-speed cassette combine to provide 24 speeds that will take you up and down any terrain that comes along
  • Wide 26 in. diameter tires provide a naturally stable ride at slow speeds and are appropriate for paved surfaces and light off-road riding
  • Marin Comfort saddle provides cushion and support for long rides
  • No special shoes required—platform pedals accommodate a variety of casual shoes

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

    Comments about Marin Redwood Bike:

    very nice, I would buy again. If you are looking for a mix between the typical mountain bike and a hybrid/commuter then this is it. The components on this bike are also a higher quality then your typical comfort or hybrid. I have put about 350 miles on it so far and am very satisfied. I am also a big guy, at 6'2" and 250lbs, this bike is very sturdy for a big framed person but still agile.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Marin Redwood Bike:

      I would reccommend this bike to anyone. I am not a expert but after a good deal of research I found this an excellent value. I am going to buy one for for my wife (who keeps using mine). The suspension makes it comfortable, the seat is easy on my posterior, the bike is stable and the brakes are really powerfull.

      My wife wanted to start riding about a year ago so I bought two no-name bikes from a local bike shop, on sale. Mine was a non-geared bike, hers was a three speed. It had been 45 years since my last bike and I didn't think I would use it much. To my suprise I did well and after a 30 mile ride on a non-geraed bike (you really don't want to do that) I started researching the matter and felt the Marin Redwood was my best value. I am now doing 100 miles pretty much every week and have losing about a pound a week. My wife tried my bike and loved it so we are off!

      There have been no quality issues with the bike at all just normal adjustments.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Marin Redwood Bike:

        My first bike in ages and I am very happy with it. I have put 3 to 4 hundred miles on it with no issues.

        I have made a few changes: added Topeak Explorer MTX Rack system to it, replaced the seat post with an Easton EA70 that allows for infinite tilt adjustments, a Brooks Flyer saddle as I couldn't get used to the "curve" profile of the Marin saddle, and Shimano M324 SPD pedals.

        I use this bike mainly for fun rides / exercise on paved bike trails. It seems well made, has plenty of adjust-ability for different riding styles - a good value overall.
