The Alpine Trail E will take you further, faster, allowing you to tackle the most aggressive trails either up or down. Built upon Marin’s premium Series 4 aluminum frame, with detailed forgings, highly manipulated tube profiles and full internal cable routing, giving the rider the highest-end alloy frame that Marin offers, compatible with modern coil or air shocks. The Alpine Trail E features the same proven MultiTrac suspension technology but optimized for the Shimano STEPS system and integrated with their highest performance EP8 motor and burly 630Wh battery. With this combination there is no need for platform or lockout levers, just get on and blast up the hills. The 29” front and 27.5” rear wheel sizes are the ideal combination for the Alpine Trail E, with larger front wheel easily rolling over most any trail obstacle and offering the best cornering traction, while the burly 27.5” x 2.8” rear setup adds playfulness and enhances acceleration and braking traction.
