[@jonathanjedi640]

That's the craziest trail I've seen you ride....awesome, and on a hard tail.

[@marin_bikes]

Stoked you like it!

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

So stoked!!

[@DeepStrut]

looks like a solid bike at a great price

[@RiggsRides]

Dang that thing is beautiful🤙

The new trail XR looks so sick! Keep up the great work dude 🤘

[@kallebackstrom264]

Love thes videos, keep on gojng with this content riding is the best! Love the steep loamy stuff that's rowdy as bro. Peace from Australia!

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

Thanks kalle!

[@aaronburela432]

Love the design 👌 as a alpine trail 8 owner this was an instant new favorite bike when I saw this.

[@boiing9274]

You Canadians are a different breed, man! You're out there with no gloves when snow is still outside, and I get scared to go out without gloves when its 15° Celsius outside lol!

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

By Canadian standards I’m soft... I hate the cold 😂. It rarely dips below freezing here on Vancouver island at the lower elevations

[@boiing9274]

@@MarkMatthewsMTB who doesn't hate the cold?! (As I write this i think of snowboarders) well then I am highly uncultured on Canadian standards lol 🤯

[@thebrianboys7815]

Great Edit!

[@mattlyone3147]

Very nice video Pretty narly ride on the sanquetin 3. I just got one 2 months ago. Too much snow in Idaho to ride unfortunately. Is that a PNW dropper post lever you have. THANK YOU for no background music on the riding portion of the video. First time I have seen your channel, I subscribed.

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

Yes it is, love it

[@mtbville]

Sick vid 😀🤙

[@caseypotts2580]

Do you find that the tires on the san Quentin are to big begin 2.6 inch tires mainly for jumping. Thanks

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

My bike isn’t stockings a custom build with Hutchinson Griffus tires. 2.4 rear, 2.5 front

Hey love this Bike it looks so clean 🤘🤙 How much does the bike weigh

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

I'm not sure the stats might be on Marin's website.

[@matthias2417]

You have such a good weather for skiing why dont you do ski/snowboarding videos, i would like it

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

I grew up 3.5 hours away from a ski hill but I snowboard for fun sometimes. I am not that great at it yet and I can't afford a season's pass this year. So it's over $100 every time and biking is free/more fun! Hard to justify haha.

[@Islandstonr]

Hey mark on a side note what’s your favourite Xs nation products?

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

The cbd cream and some of the drink powders

[@jackn7013]

I'm watching late but amazing video! Also, I have a question. I'm looking to get some new brakes and I don't have a massive budget, but I could either get shimano deore xt 2 piston brakes or shimano slx 4 piston brakes, which would you choose and why?

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

I would go SLX 4 Piston because more power. They are very similar in quality the XT is just lighter weight.

Marin should offer Suntour equipped bikes for consumers. I'd be so stoked to try out a Suntour fork without having to spend more money to buy a new fork.

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

That’s a really good idea!

[@TheGeoffreyDyck]

Actually shocked at the valueof the alpine trail

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

Same!

[@shredditsbiking]

Ayeeee. Early gang.

[@thecount1001]

looks better than the carbon version.

Why do you use a POC Helmet painted? An amazing rider like yourself cant get sponsored by them? Escuse my blunt honesty :) love your content, keep up the good work

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

I actually had a meeting with POC and they weren’t interested. I’ve struggled to find an mtb clothing or helmet sponsor for a couple years, but I’m Supported by Kavu! They buy my favorite helmets for me and get them painted. It’s a rad deal!!

I'd prefer XT or SLX brakes and lower spec drivetrain.. quite strange spec with standard shimano hubs yet ultimate suspension. At least the expensive components are good though 🤷‍♂️
