Today Petaluma, Califonia's Marin Bikes launches its new Four Corners 2 Adventure Touring bike, an up-spec'd version of the Four Corners 1.
2 Adventure Touring bike after seven years of hibernation. The Four Corners 2 is a step up from the Four Corners 1, so Let’s check out the up-spec version.Well, first, this upscale model has been out of circulation for 7 years. It’s aimed at the more discriminating rider with the higher-end, Series 3 double-butted CroMo frame and fork with front and rear thru-axles.
It’s also rocking a SRAM Apex 1×12-speed drive train, hydraulic bracks, and tubeless compatible rims and tires. Geometry for the Four Corners 2 is said to follow the tracks of the Four Corners 1. But, the 70°-71° HTA runs a lil’ more progressive than a typical touring bike. The Seat tubes are routed and ready for dropper posts if that strikes your fancy. The handlebars are wider as well, at 440-460mm. Both the wheel sizes for the Four Corners 2, roll on 44mm wide tires but have frame clearance for up to 50mm.Four Corners 1 was an absolute brick of a bike, frame absurdly heavy for the segment, far beyond necessary for off road loaded touring.Nothing against Marin but at that same price point you should really check out the Breezer Inversion Pro. Beautiful frame.
The 2024-25 Ridley X-Night RS ‘cross race bike gets stealth routing, aero shapes, and a sleeker design to shed mud better than ever.The latest fines and penalties from the UCI aren’t from doping, but from a mechanic pretending to be a team rider.
