Technology
SERIES 4 ALUMINUM FRAME
Alpine Trail models feature Series 4 aluminum frames, with detailed forgings, highly manipulated tubes, and full internal cable routing, giving the rider the highest-end alloy frame that Marin offers.
ONE PIECE FORGED ROCKER
The heart of the Alpine Trail’s MultiTrac suspension is the forged and welded one-piece rocker link. The strength and stiffness of the rocker keeps the rear of the bike tracking straight, providing smooth suspension operation under the most demanding conditions.
BRIDGELESS SEATSTAY
The stiffness of the one-piece rocker link allows for a bridgeless seatstay design, offering zero compromises on stiffness while at the same time allowing for maximum tire clearance and short chainstays.
MODERN ANGLES
The Alpine Trail has a slack head tube angle paired with a steep seat tube angle and long reach to provide the best modern trail bike experience. The bike lets you climb better than ever before,while giving you even more confidence when descending.
Reviews
-
"By keeping it simple and focussing on the things that ultimately matter – ride quality and handling – Marin has produced a bike that’s more than the sum of its parts. Occasionally you sling a leg over a new bike and it just feels right from the first run; the Alpine Trail is one of those bikes."
-
"If you’re looking for a fun 29er enduro bike at a fair price, you should take a closer look at the Marin Alpine Trail. With its very balanced geometry and the mostly good spec, the Alpine Trail is a sound basis for a loyal companion for everything from long rides, bike park visits and enduro races."
-
"I can only offer early impressions on the Alpine Trail, but so far those impressions are very favourable. The frame is solid and well executed, and the suspension package is top-notch, proving you don’t need highly complex suspension systems just to get a competent all mountain bike."
-
"I didn’t have any expectations going into the ride, but I certainly wouldn’t have predicted that I’d be so in tune with the bike that I might as well have been aboard my personal ride. The planted feeling from geometry and playfulness from the suspension struck that magic balance of handling."
-
"The Alpine Trail is a good option for someone looking to get into enduro riding with a well-rounded bike at an attainable price."
