A tough, light 6061 aluminum frame and the right amount of suspension make the Marin San Rafael an easy choice for commuting, training and having fun.
- Lightweight 6061 aluminum frame has undergone a multistep shaping process to improve ride feel and efficiency
- Odessa suspension fork damps road shock up the front of the bike with an impressive 63mm of travel; also features preload and lockout adjustments
- But what about the back side? No problem. San Rafael's suspension seat post prevents minor bumps from jostling the saddle
- Front and rear V-brakes with power modulation provide reliable, smooth deceleration
- 48/38/28 triple crankset and 11-28 cassette provide all the gears required for fun, swift cruising and efficient hill climbing
- Shimano EZ-FIRE Plus shifters and C-100 front and Alivio rear derailleurs provide responsive, smooth shifting through all 24 speeds
- WTB rims, alloy hubs and Kenda Kwest tires provide an efficient "big wheel" ride that comes to speed quickly and minimizes small bumps in the road
- WTB Comfort V saddle provides the ergonomic support and cushioning required for day-long riding
- 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.
