The 2023 Marin Pine Mountain was just updated with fresh paint, improved geometry, new build kits for the year ahead, with completes starting at just $1,500. Find more details and photos here…

The Marin Pine Mountain is part of the brand’s “Adventure” collection and the only steel hardtail in their entire lineup. It saw a major redesign in 2020 that included a record number of threaded eyelets, more progressive geometry, and their own moto-style “Bedroll Handlebar.” Since Logan’s review, the Pine Mountain has continued to stand out as a well-priced entry level bikepacking bike and has received some promising updates over the years that address a few of the concerns he voiced in his review.

The 2023 Marin Pine Mountain is still a Chromoly steel hardtail based around 29 x 2.6″ tires, a 120mm travel fork, a wide-range 1x drivetrain, and enough mounts to make you dizzy. Compared to the 2020 version Logan tested, the latest version has been updated with a longer reach, slightly slacker head tube, and a touch more stack. This year, there are two builds/frame colors to choose from: the entry level Pine Mountain 1 and the upgraded Pine Mountain 2. Find details on both below.
