Big All-Mountain Days Where Travel and Geometry Matter Most. Built for Abuse and Rowdy Riding. Enduro-Style Riding and Racing. Big Bike, Big Wheels, Big Fun The Alpine Trail Is a 29” Wheeled Suspension Bike Built for The All Day Enduro Rider that Earns Their Downhill Fun.
Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Frame
Alpine Trail Carbon 1 and 2 models feature high-modulus carbon fibre and monocoque construction to deliver the strongest and stiffest Alpine Trail to date.
Series 4 Aluminum Frame
Alpine Trail models feature Series 4 aluminium 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 one-piece rocker link. The strength and stiffness of the rocker keep 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 seat stay 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 63.5º head tube angle paired with a steep 78º 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.
Suspension Setup
Rear Shock Setup
Recommended Sag = 30%/19.5mm
Step 1: Set the correct pressure in the rear shock.
Step 2: Sit on the bike and cycle the suspension (*with the correct riding gear).
Step 3: Reset the O-ring and sit on the bike, DO NOT BOUNCE, carefully step off.
Step 4: Measure sag (from o-ring to seal of shock), If it does not match the bike’s recommended sag in millimetres repeat process.
Step 5: Adjust the rebound setting to ensure proper control.
Fork Set up
Marin recommends that all bikes' front and rear suspension feel balanced
Step 1: After the rear sag is set follow the recommended pressure from the fork manufacturer.
Step 2: Bounce evenly up and down on the bike, cycling the suspension up and down to make sure both front and rear suspension feel balanced, if the front does not match the rear add or release pressure.
Step 3: Once the bike feels balanced adjust the rebound damping to ensure proper control.
