Top level customer support !

Since buying a Main bike in late 2023, I've been emailing a support tech there nicknamed "Gravy" and the guy is a godsend: super fast communication for all of my questions for various problems from me smashing stuff to basic or upgraded replacements. The support has been phenomenal and far beyond what any other brand has provided - I'll easily buy another Marin when I destroy this one or if budget allows - sooner

Wish I could say good things about m bobcat trail 5

Wish I could say good things about my experience buying a bobcat trail 5 bike. I got it only 3 months ago.Unfortunately I've had nothing but issue after issues with it. It's spent more time in the bike shop getting fixed then I have used it. I have emailed Marin directly 3 times and never here back from them. Shame as they used to be great solid bike back in the 90s.

You go my bike back on the trail!

You had the part I needed to get my Polygon Xtrda six back on the trail. Bikes Online did NOT have the part.
Your derailleur hanger 3 works as a substitute. It is not exactly the same but works with backing the B limit screw all the way out.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused. Some of our shipments come from a third party supplier and ship at a different time. We will find a way to be clearer about this in the future

Excellent

Purchased a few components from the website. Had an issue with a handlebar. Sent me a new one. No issues. Good quality. The pedals and grips are great. I bought the bike itself (bobcat trail 4) from an independent dealer. No issues with the bike. Altogether. Impressed with everything.

defective tires, no support

Bought a brand-new Marin bike. Both tires were defective from the factory. My local shop sent all the photos Marin requested… and then silence. No response from Marin. No help from the dealer. I had to pay for two brand-new tires myself. On a new bike! Absolutely unacceptable.

We're truly sorry about the defective tires on your new bike and our lack of response. This is completely unacceptable, and you shouldn't have paid out of pocket. Please email service@marinbikes.com with your photos and receipts, and name of the shop - we'll make this right!

Shipping is too expensive

Great support for an "older" model that just needed a proprietary derailleur hanger.
I would have much preferred a shipping option that wasn't a $15 premium via FedEx... Ground for $5? It's a 2oz derailleur hanger, throw it in an envelope. get creative.
