You can demo the new Heckler and report back.
We rented beater bikes and rode the city, the big bridge, Mill Valley, then took a boat back. Well worth it.
If you want trails I think just north of the bridge you have Mt Tam:

Supposed to be solid. Or more south to a bunch of things.
A coworker of mine does the stuff east of Oakland:

Mount Tamalpais State Park on Trailforks
Mount Tamalpais State Park Mountain Bike, Horse, Hike, Trail Running trails near Mill Valley, California. 75 trails with 89 photos

Joaquin Miller Park (JMP) on Trailforks
Enter Joaquin Miller Park and you will quickly forget that you are minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Hikers, equestrians, bicyclists, joggers and picnickers...

I was in the same situation a month ago and did a bunch of research. If you’re in San Francisco* proper then heading north to Marin country is the closest option as Norm and Patrick said, see https://www.trailforks.com/region/marin-county/ridingareas/
But although mountain biking was invented in Marin, trail access has been restricted a lot there. So I headed down to Santa Cruz instead, as MadisonDan advises. It’s not close — took me a 30 min Lyft ride to San Jose then a 45 min bus ride — but I rode for three days and it was worth it. Tremendous, flow trails. Gorgeous pine forests. A trail that leads to the beach and the ocean. The second best cycling trip I’ve taken.
I rented from https://www.cycleworks.bike/ who will also give you a tour of some of the key trails and shuttle you to the top of the mountain. Feel free to message me for more details.
* If you say “San Fran” people will mark you as a green East Coaster. “SF” is acceptable
