Marin Presidio 1

CITY Transit The Marin Presidio is purpose-built for the commute. Spinning to school, zipping to college, quick trips to the store, long-hauls where you’d rather leave the car in the garage. And because life is never a straight A-to-B, we’ve made it tough enough and customizable enough to deal with whatever the journey throws at you. Every Presidio comes with fast-rolling and puncture-resistant tires, comfortable geometry, hydraulic discs and plenty of mounting options for bags and racks. The Presidio will take care of business day in and day out. Our entry-level and most affordable model, the Marin Presidio 1 is built around a Series 1 aluminum frame and CrMo straight blade fork with 700C wheels, a Shimano 8-speed drivetrain and powerful Clark’s hydraulic disc brakes. Lightweight Aluminum Frames - Presidio frames are constructed of lightweight 6061 aluminum tubing with rack and fender mounts. Series 2 tubing on the Presidio 3 and 2 models add internal cable routing, and belt drive compatible forged slider dropouts for internally geared hubs. Marin Slider Dropouts - Our new slider dropouts were created specifically to bring the best technologies for commute bikes into a clean and tidy package. The dropouts slide to tension belts and chains, while incorporating flat mount disc brakes, and a direct mount rear kickstand to support the bike where weight is centered with gear. DISC Brakes - Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance. Internally Geared HUBS - Internally geared hubs on the Presidio 3 and 2 package the gearing into a compact, maintenance-free package.
