The Marin Alpine Trail XR is your go-to bike for epic all-mountain adventures where travel and geometry are key. Built tough for rowdy enduro-style riding and racing, it can take a beating. The Series 4 6061 aluminum frame with 29er wheels, precision forgings, expertly shaped tubes, and full internal cable routing (including an internal dropper post) offers the top-end alloy frame from Marin. Its heart is the MultiTrac suspension platform. The 160mm RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fork and 150mm Super Deluxe coil shock deliver class-leading performance on rock gardens, slick roots, and loamy descents. The forged one-piece rocker link provides strength and stiffness, keeping the rear tracking straight under pressure while allowing for maximum tire clearance and short chainstays. It comes with a Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain, Shimano BR-MT420 4 piston hydro disc brakes, an FSA Gradient crankset, and burly Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5” tubeless compatible tyres.
Using your Marin Alpine Trail XR is a breeze. Just hop on and start your all - mountain adventure. When riding, make sure to adjust the internal dropper post according to the terrain. For uphill sections, raise it for better pedaling efficiency, and lower it when going downhill for more stability. As for the brakes, the Shimano BR - MT420 4 piston hydro disc brakes offer great stopping power, but use them gradually to avoid sudden stops that could throw you off balance. When it comes to maintenance, regularly clean your bike after each ride, especially if you've been in muddy or dirty conditions. Check the tire pressure of the Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5” tubeless compatible tyres before every ride to ensure a smooth and safe journey. Lubricate the chain and drivetrain every few rides to keep them running smoothly. Also, have a professional check the MultiTrac suspension platform and the RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fork and Super Deluxe coil shock periodically to maintain their optimal performance.
