Marin has always strived to develop bicycles that are Made For Fun. The type of mountain machine that’ll take on rugged trails in remote locations to slapping on a number plate to take a podium at your first race. Each model designed is to be playful and to maximize the opportunities for two-wheeled fun.
With that in mind, Marin launched the Alpine Trail Carbon. This new carbon version is based on the popular alloy Alpine Trail range. Marin replicated the progressive geometry by sticking with a slack 63.5º head tube angle paired with a steep 78º seat tubes. Marin Claims that this is the strongest and stiffest Alpine Trail to date. This should improve cornering, jumping, and the all-around enduro riding experience.

Thanks for the video, guys, looks like you're having a blast with the bike.
Cool, where is that trail you rode in the video?
Hi, i am in te market for enduro bike. Mainly intrested in bike around 160/170mm. But this bike drawn my attention due to value of the build. Do you have any chance comparing it to trek slash or something similar? Thanks in advice
idd go with the xr version. Much closer to a big travel enduro rig
Are Carbon bikes known for developing cracks in the frame and/or worse under heavy use? I would be doing some trail stuff but also dirt jumping (bmx background). I have a rift zone 1 I want to upgrade to a lighter bike but scared i may damage it a lot sooner than an alloy bike.
Alloy frame will take some crashes a little better or like if you hit your frame on a rock or something. Carbon might crack but usually alloy is fine. I have a Marin alpine trail xr coming from a canyon spectral carbon which I cracked the frame.
@@bikingwithryan5968 Thanks for the reply, I'm with you on that. I'm just going to upgrade my Rift Zone 1 with lighter parts. I totally missed that they are roughly the same weight also. That's a ot of money to the drop it on a rock and damage the frame.
@@hnationmusic3099 yeah for sure. My alpine trail xr is 37 pounds and I’m totally used to it now. But definitely they some lighter parts could make a difference
@@bikingwithryan5968 do u recommend the spectral or Marín Alpine?
@@fookserrano8239 the alpine trail feels more like a enduro bike or race bike but it’s still playful as well. But the spectral is just a very fun bike. But not as cofindece inspiring in rougher steeper trails
480mm chainstays?
Says 430mm on their website...
Ya make nice bike around 2000 dollars
Wow long chainstay
It's actually 430mm
Marin great stuff made mt bikes in 90s 🤣🤣🤣
Rider height / weight ? Frame size? Suspension setup? no... ok.
How much lighter is this than the XR?
the XR is alloy and has a rear coil shock, id say it would be heavier
@@gls-dave620 I got the carbon and it’s not light at all so I’d expect the XR is chunky!
@@willpringle8729 i have the carbon 1 and yeah you are right for carbon its heavy. However its very very stiff. Still dampens out rough terrain very well
@@willpringle8729 carbon one still pedals uphill very well. thanks to steep seat tube
Affordable $4199 wish I could say that shit. It cost more than my car.
Shieeeet! It's affordable for the components and carbon frame you get compared to most bikes in this category. Good luck finding a bike with these specs for less than 6500. Stop making excuses ese. Get on your grind, hustle or just buy a Walmart bike.
