Description
LARKSPUR
The Larkspur is the ultimate mountain bike based commuter with a Series 2 CrMo frame featuring wide-range gearing, and 27.5×2.35 “Road Plus” tyres that accelerate quickly and roll almost as fast as skinnier road tyres while eating up potholes and curbs. Larkspur models also feature a mixte step-thru design combined with dropper seatpost for easy mounting and dismounting, even with baskets and baby seats.
DISC BRAKES
Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance.
WIDE-RANGE 1X GEARING
Trickle down technology from the mountain bike world, like disc brakes and wide range 1x drivetrains, fit perfectly into this hybrid bike designed to take you anywhere you want to go in a simple, comfortable, and fun riding bike.
DROPPER SEAT POST
With a dropper post and remote handlebar lever, the rider could cruise along with correct leg extension then drop the post when coming to a stop and place their feet on the ground easily – perfect for urban commuters. Another benefit is getting on and off the bike easier.
TYRES
A collaboration between Marin Bikes and Vee Tire Co., the Larkspur’s GPVee tyre is the perfect blend between a fast street tyre and knobby tread for cornering off of paved surfaces.

The Larkspur are at home in the concrete jungle, built for jumping curbs and cutting through a park on the way to the grocery store or class. This is the classic bike shop employee commuter bike built for the everyday rider.
MOUNTAIN SOUL FOR THE URBAN RIDER
Veteran urban riders have been building and cruising bikes like the Larkspur for years, making bikes that are just as functional as they are fun. Picking the best from the mountain bike world and blending it with commuter sensibility, these bikes are ready to take you most places worth riding to.
DISC BRAKES
Disc brakes have long become standard equipment on mountain bikes for their reliability and all-weather stopping power. The hydraulic disc brakes on the Urban CrMo line are powerful and nearly maintenance free for the average riders with no cables to stretch or fray.
STEEL FRAME AND FORK
The Larkspur features a Series 2 CrMo steel frame and fork built for years of daily riding and abuse, with full fender and rack mounts. “Steel is real” is a saying for a reason — in this age of carbon and aluminum frames, CrMo steel remains a favorite for its strength and unmistakably lively ride quality.
