All bicycles at the MTBIKER shop are new, not-ridden, from an official distributor and with a full warranty. Several brands even offer a lifetime warranty on the frame after registration. We perform all warranty services in MTBIKER stores after personal delivery or after sending the bike (or its part) by courier.

Our bike shipment is as follows:
  1. The bicycle is taken out of the manufacturer's box
  2. The bicycle is assembled, inspected and adjusted (front and rear derailleur, shock, fork, wheels,...)
  3. The bicycle is carefully packaged back into a box and shipped
  4. If you order a bike for in-person pick-up or home delivery, the bike will be waiting for you assembled and checked
  5. If you order a bicycle via courier to your home address, the following must be done at home:
    1. Take the bike out of the box and carefully remove safety material and foils
    2. Mount handlebar to stem (1 minute, 4 or 5 mm hex hey is needed).
    3. Mount front wheel to fork (1 minute, without the need of any tools if the bike has a quick release).
    4. Loosen the screws in the headset, straighten the stem with the front wheel, tighten the upper screw on the fork and then tighten the headset (2 minutes, 4 or 5 mm hex key is needed).
    5. Mount the pedals to the cranks while lubricating the thread and carefully mounting it the right way (1 minute, 8 mm hex key or 15 mm wrench).
    6. Mount seat post to frame (10 seconds, without needing any tools if the frame has a quick link).
    7. Inflate the tires or fork and shock to desired pressure (2 minutes, pump needed).
    8. Check the tightening of hex keys and quick-releases (2 minutes, 4 and 5 mm hex key is needed).
    9. Go for a test drive! Handle your bicycle carefully until you get used to it. If the bike has disc brakes, their performance will be limited from now on - they will gain their full power after 4-5 strong brakes at higher speed.

Variant Marin Nicasio 28 bicykel, strieborná/zlatá

Comfortable, fast, real adventure bike, I really like the geometry of the frame.
It's fast with the factory tires, but it's shaky and tiring on low-quality roads.
The factory bandages are thin for me, not very comfortable on bumpy roads.
You have to get used to the brakes, the braking in upper gear is not very steely.
Despite this, it gets 5* from me, because the bike was a very good purchase for the price.
Tastes and slaps, by changing a few parts and tuning, it can be turned into a professional small exploration machine and you can carve a lot from its weight.

In terms of value for money, at the sale we managed to get it, it's a perfect piece. For me, let's say it will be a kind of bike for going to the shop or going to work in the city. ?
You also get mudguards, a luggage rack, and other external tires for the winter...
Thanks also to the MTBIKER Shop staff. The courier brought it perfectly packed. ?

My first gravel bike in about 25 years and it rides like a rocket. I don't have much to compare it to technically, but I'm enjoying every second with this bike.

Variant Marin Nicasio 28 bicykel, strieborná/zlatá

SK Dobre ranko,
chcel by som sa spytat na Vas nazor, resp. radu. Chcel by som synovi kupit gravel, idealne nejaky entry model a rozmyslame nad tymto modelom. Boli sme v Sobotu v Hradku a skusal ho a celkom mu sedel (56). Chcem sa ale spytat ci ist do tohto modelu, resp ci sa da neskor vylepsit (napr. vyssia sada GRX, hydraulicke brzdy atd.), alebo ist do priklad CTM Koyuk 1.0, alebo Kellys Soot 30. Synator ma sice len 14 rokov je po mne, cize je trochu tazsi a ma cca 110kg a 176cm, tak neviem ci aj Kellys prichadza do uvahy. Alebo pripadne poraddte co by bolo najvhodensie. Povodne sme chceli Cannondale Topstone4, ale ten bohuzial uz nieje mozne objednat. Alebo, keby to aj bolo trochu drahsie, nieje to az taky problem.
Dakujem pekne za Vas uprimny nazor a radu.
Tomas.

SK Dobrý deň prajem,

toto je "námet" na veľmi obšírnu debatu

Ak kúpite drahší model, tak budete mať už v základe kvalitnejšie komponenty. Avšak pri kúpe lacnejšieho prevedenia zostane možno finančne väčší priestor na úpravy - najmä komponentov/doplnkov, ktoré sami zistíte, že po čase synovi možno 100%-ne nesedia, či už sú to kľuky s inou dĺžkou, iný rozsah kazety, alebo napr. aj ten spomínaný upgrade na GRX-ko.

Subjektívnym plusom Marinu je pre mňa osobne trochu "punkový" oceľový rám a klasický vzhľad, v prípade Sootu naopak získate bicykel s karbónovou vidlicou a pevnými oskami. Vyberal by som najmä podľa toho, aby bicykel, resp. jeho rám, ktorý je absolútnym základom spokojnosti s bicyklom, sadol naozaj perfektne.

Žiaľ dostupnosť bicyklov je naďalej problematická, celosvetovo, všetky kusy ktoré od výrobcov dostaneme sa rozchytajú naozaj veľmi rýchlo. V 56-tke máme aktuálne ihneď k dispozícii príp. od Marinu aj model Gestalt - https://www.mtbiker.sk/shop/bicykle/gravel-a-cyklokros/marin-gestalt-ciernamodra.html.

Štandardné váhové limity, pokiaľ sa nerozprávame o karbónových rámoch, sú okolo 120 kg, takže určite tam ešte priestor bude.

SK Dobry den prajem,
dakujem pekne za Vasu odpoved.
Nam sa tiez paci ten Marin, len na druhej strane maju Kellys a CTM pevne osky, co je podla mna vyborna vec
Neviete nahodou ci by sa niekde nedal vyskusat Kellys, alebo CTM?
S tou nosnostou som rad. A mysleli ste ze keby sme uvazovali na karbonom, tak ma nizsiu nosnost? Lebo ja mam Cannondale Topstone5 v karbone a v navode deklaruju 136 kg rider + 15 kg batozina. Ja mam osobne okolo 125 kg a drzi perfektne. Tak dufam ze vydrzi
Dakujem pekne.

SK Dobrý deň prajem,

Kelly aj CTM meškajú s dodávkami, aktuálne kvôli dlhodobej nedostupnosti komponentov na kompletizáciu bicyklov, treba žiaľ sledovať e-shopy a v prípade, že sa kdesi čosi objaví, tak žiaľ aj docestovať prípadne väčšiu vzdialenosť, bicykle naozaj idú ako "teplé rožky".

Ten karbón - samozrejme, neplatí to univerzálne, karbónové komponenty a rámy/vidlice sú konštruované v mnohých prípadoch aj na oveľa vyššie zaťaženia, viď. napr. karbónové zjazďáky. Skôr si treba pri týchto modeloch dávať pozor na hmotnostný limit pri každom výrobcovi, najmä ak sa jedná o modely, kde je tlačená hmotnosť bicyklov do extrémne nízkych hodnôt..

Mam jednu (slubujem ze poslednu) otazku a sice: mozem objednat ten Marin Nicasio a popri tom cakat ci by sa neobjavil Kellys alebo CTM? Resp. ako dlho ho mozem mat objednany (odlozeny) u Vas?

Variant Marin Nicasio 28 bicykel, strieborná/zlatá

Hello, a few questions :
Is there a thru axle or a quick release?
Is the fork carbon or aluminum?
What is the weight of the bicycle?
Does it make sense to replace mechanical brakes with hydraulic brakes on this category of bicycle?
Can you do a very brief comparison of the pros and cons compared to the SooT 30, which is in the same price tag and category?
Thanks

SK Ahoj,
osky sú na klasický rýchloupinák. Vidlica nie je ani hliníková, ani karbónová, je oceľová ako aj rám. Hmotnosť vystaveného bicykla vo veľkosti 58 je 13,29 kg. Výmena bŕzd v tejto cenovej kategórii asi nemá zmysel. Kellys má hliníkový rám, karbónovú vidlicu a pevné osky. Výbava je prakticky totožná Shimano Claris až na kľuky.

Hello! This bike has chainrings: FSA Tempo Compact, 50/34T, and speed: 2x8. I would like to ask if it is possible to get replacement chainrings (or cleats) 46/30 or 48/32?
Also a question: does the Shimano Claris derailleur have a short arm (for max. 32 sprockets) or a long arm (for max. 34 sprockets)?
Thank you.

SK Dobrý deň,

prehadzovačka je určená pre max. 32 zubové pastorky.

Prevodníky je možné vymeniť - jedná sa o štandardný 5-bolt systém s rozmerom 110 mm BCD. Dostupné však nie sú všetky rozmery, ale aktuálne sú k objednaniu napr.: https://www.mtbiker.sk/shop/komponenty/kluky-a-prevodniky/prevodniky/ta-specialites-zephir-bcd-110-prevodnik.html

SK Dobrý deň! Ďakujem za info. Pozrel som tie prevodníky, a v popise majú kompatibilitu na 9/10 rýchlosť. Spomínaný bicykel Marin Nicasio je však 8 rýchlostný. Sú tie prevodníky kompatibilné aj na to? Poprípade s nejakými nedostatkami napr.pri radení alebo pohonu?
Vďaka!

SK Dobrý deň,

prevodníky by mali sadnúť bez problémov - šarapatu by to robilo opačne, ak by ste chceli použiť 8-speed prevodník s 9/10-rýchlostnou reťazou (širšie zuby prevodníka - užšia reťaz). Teoreticky môže byť dosadanie reťaze na zuby prevodníka trochu hlučnejšie, ale ťažko to vopred odhadovať, funkčne bude radenie rýchlostí v poriadku.

SK Dobrý deň,

podľa tabuliek Marinu je veľkosť 50 vhodná pre bajkerov s výškou 152 až 160cm. Každopádne určite je to len orientačný ukazovateľ - zaléži aj od telesných proporcií, dĺžky rúk, nôh, príp. osobných preferencií posedu a i. Kľudne Vám môže táto veľkosť sadnúť ideálne - nie je problém si bicykel príp. vyskúšať na predajni.
