• X-Fusion Slide Boost fork w/140mm travel

SERIES 3 ALUMINIUM FRAME

The San Quentin 2 features a Series 3 aluminium frame, with more advanced tube forming, more complex dropouts, post mount disc tabs, full internal cable routing, and a boost 148mm thru-axle

MODERN TRAIL GEOMETRY

The slack head tube angle paired with a steep seat tube angle create a ride that will fly uphill with perfect front wheel precision but then descend like it’s on rails. The balanced rider position thanks to the steep seat tube puts your weight between the wheels for impressive climbing and handling on flats, while the slack front end and short rear center help to pull you through the rough descents and corners with an intuitive feel.

ISCG TABS

San Quentin 2 features ISCG 05 tabs for easy chain retention device installation for rowdier riders.
