Alpine Trail XR 2025

The Marin Alpine Trail is Marin's big-hitting, big-wheeling, hard charger. It's built for the roughest and rowdiest around. Whether you're a park rat, enduro racer snake or just love to send it with the big dogs, the Alpine Trail is the perfect beast for the job.

Consistently a Biketart staff favourite enduro mountain bike, Marin's Alpine Trail is seen here in the high level XR spec. 

170mm/160mm travel and fast / nimble MX wheel combo nails the set-up for enduro runs and furious bikepark laps.  Marin have spec'd a great build kit on this bike with tough, high-level components like the Rockshox ZEB Ultimate fork and Super Deluxe coil rear shock, SRAM Eagle GX 1x12 drivetrain and powerful 4-piston DB8 brakes. To finish the build off are Marin/Formula wheels wearing Maxxis tyres, a TranzX dropper seatpost and Marin finishing kit. A beast of an enduro package at an fantastic price point.
