2021 Marin Alpine Trail XR | NEW BIKE DAY | Unboxing & Test Ride!

[@Bicycle_Dan]

Great riding! I got my Alpine Trail XR back in December and have been loving it. I will say, it doesn't stay quiet long, no complaints otherwise. Additionally, the production value of your videos is excellent. Looking forward to more content.

[@MagooOnABike]

Awesome thanks mate! I did actually come across a few of your vids while doing research. Glad you enjoyed!

[@smbmxable]

New bike day is a great day 🤙 The bike looks and is awesome man...congrats

[@MagooOnABike]

Thanks man!!

[@felixfam0481]

Im so hyped that your hyped on your new bike!

[@MagooOnABike]

Hahaha cheers bro!

[@Max_Johansson]

those red lyriks look the dream🤙 such a good value bike too🔥

[@MagooOnABike]

Hahah they do look beast!!

[@brendanrowe1406]

I have this bike same bike and all I can say is it is a downhill weapon. I am impressed even though it is heavier and tougher to ride uphill than my Norco. A 30T chain ring swap helps. It's a great bike!

[@scorch222]

yessss mate!! what a rig, congrats! well deserved. cant wait to see more content from you on the new beast

[@MagooOnABike]

Congrats on the new ride.

[@MagooOnABike]

Thanks dude!

[@MTBMcPhee]

Nice rig man, love how stoked you are on it during the first lap. Is it your first coil?

[@MagooOnABike]

Hahah, yep first coil, is an absolute dream so far!!

[@MTBMcPhee]

@@MagooOnABike yeah man, I thought the coil was just ok until I rode it at Keira. It's mind blowing through the high speed chatter.

[@MagooOnABike]

@@MTBMcPhee Oh for sure! Honestly the best thing I've ever experienced..

[@eggmanfn]

@@MagooOnABike 🥱🥱 the glory had a coil magoo

[@MagooOnABike]

@@eggmanfn Oh yeah hahah. This one is the first working coil :)

[@eywa5]

It has arrived! Stoked af. I watched your unboxing at least 15 times hahahahaha. My rear wheel was a bit loose, the spokes. So i spent most of the day tightening the spokes and then true the wheel. Went for a ride afterwards... it was awesome. How much do you weigh and what size you went for, and what's the shock spring lbs?

[@MagooOnABike]

Awesome!! I'm about 70KG, and I bought a 400lbs spring for it. Lagre comes with 450lbs spring stock

[@jakecini1984]

hey man love the content!! about to upgrade bikes, im gonna be riding some of the same and similar tracks you ride, just wondering what bike you'd maybe recommend for an intermediate level rider. keep up the great content!!

[@MagooOnABike]

Hey mate! Totally depends on your budget. I can recommend and of the Polygon Siskiu bikes, or even something like the Marin Alpine Trail 7, or XR (like my bike). These are great options, and I'd highly recommend going with something from Bicycles Online; however you can still get some great bikes elsewhere. If you do but something from Bicycles Online, it would be great if you can do so through the link in the description :)

[@jakecini1984]

@@MagooOnABike thanks heaps for the reply man, definitely going through the link. Thanks again really appreciate it.

[@engrross0209]

Is there enough clearance between the pivot and chain ring for chain guard installation?

[@MagooOnABike]

I'm honestly not sure, but there is mounting points for a bashguard so I assume so :)

[@eywa5]

That's a nice rig mate! I have opportunity to buy one, however, I am thinking about it's weight. Is it true it weight above 16kg? If so, I think it's to heavy for everyday riding... And that it is too slack in the front? Can you help me and tell me if that hughe slack front end, combined with 16kg of tis weight makes it too cumbersome on flats and uphils?

[@MagooOnABike]

Hey mate! It certainly is on the heavier side (16.5KG), however, it feels super stable at speed, and suprisingly climbs pretty well. The head angle is super slack, but I've never found it too slack. I ride it uphill and downhill multiple times daily, and absoloutly love it!! If you've got any other questions feel free to ask! If you do decide to buy one, doing so through my link (in description) would help a lot!!

[@eywa5]

@@MagooOnABike for your nice content, and especially now for your fast reply when I'm in a big dillemma - you got a sub :) Ok so from what I read, it climbs well, and it's heavy... I just wonder if it's overkill for my local trails. My other bike that I got my eye on is a Trance X 2, which is a 135/150 travel bike with geo that would be perhaps better for my trails, BUT, Alpine trail XR has top notch suspension compared to Trance... So my choice is: Be a bit overbiked on top suspension, or be on more balanced geo/lighter bike with mid-range suspension :( help me mate XD

[@MagooOnABike]

@@eywa5 Hahaha yes quite a predicament. I would honestly take a look at what the most common 'theme' of bike is out on your trails, and maybe make a decision based off that? Both bikes are incredible, like you said; Marin does have superior suspension (which feels awesome) which was a big plus for me (and my trails). It's really all about weighing up what you prioritise and deciding from there. If you want something a little bit lighter and more agile, I'd probably go with the Trance, however if you are willing to sacrifice a bit of weight and moveability you'll get some insane downhill handling and very acceptable climbing with the Marin. This may have confused things even further, but I can neither say one or the other; both bikes are great :) Thanks for the sub!

[@eywa5]

@@MagooOnABike went with the marin... heck all, overbiking ftw :)

[@MagooOnABike]

@@eywa5 yewww congrats!!

[@dc1890]

Would this be ok as my first mountain bike? Was looking at the T7 but found this one sale for same price from a private seller and new with zero miles, so I feel like I'd lose out if I didn't get it lol

[@MagooOnABike]

Yes mate 100%! This will be levels above the T7

[@dc1890]

Hi, what size is it and what's your heigth?

[@MagooOnABike]

Size L, 178cm

Can you tell me did it come with tubeless valves, sealant, and were the rims pre-taped?

[@MagooOnABike]

Rims taped, no sealant or valves.

[@hannes6114]

How old are you and how were you able to afford these bikes?

[@Zmithie]

So sick! Enjoy! 🤟🏼

[@BikingCarFanatic]

Great video mate. Just researching these as I'm looking to buy. Hope you're still stoked on it?

[@MagooOnABike]

Hey mate! Got a different bike now, but can confidently say it was a great bike! I just wanted something a bit lighter and 27.5" wheels :)

[@BikingCarFanatic]

@@MagooOnABike Yeah they do seem a bit of a porker with the coil on it. How much weight did you drop for the new steed?

[@MagooOnABike]

@@BikingCarFanatic Dropped from 16.8kg to 15kg, wouldn't mind losing another kilo or two on the next bike!

[@BikingCarFanatic]

@@MagooOnABike yeah my current bike is 14kg. A good weight for climbing, but looking for a more descent focused bike 🤙 Also looking at the Canyons, but the XR seemed pretty good for the price.

[@MagooOnABike]

@@BikingCarFanatic Oh the XR spec for the price is unbeatable, really impressive price

[@yeyefish3785]

I’m looking about buying this bike but not really sure what size to get. So I was wondering what size you got and how tall you are?

Hey man, I'm about 180cm and got a size Large. Fit well!

Thanks just ordered a size large. Can’t wait🤘

[@barrakingbeatz7794]

Have you riden a Norco sight? I’m tossing up between the a1 sight and this bike

[@MagooOnABike]

Hey mate! I have never tried out a sight, from what I hear they're pretty good. This bike is pretty awesome too, much of a muchness between the two. If you do decide to get this bike, it would be much appreciated if you could buy through the link in the descripton! Cheers :)
