Marin Redwood Bike - 2008

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.
