Origin
The Presidio has been Marin's dedicated urban commuter since 2016, designed from the ground up for the daily commute rather than adapted from a trail or gravel platform. It offers rack and fender mounts, reliable hydraulic disc brakes, and a range from basic derailleur to belt-drive Nexus IGH -- scaling from pragmatic budget commuter to maintenance-minimal premium daily driver.
