2022 Marin Alpine Trail E1: INCREDIBLY good fun!

All new Marin Alpine Trail E1 Electric Mountain Bike, priced at £4295, is a brilliantly fun ebike from Marin that is built to shred trails and downhill. Progressive geometry with a slack head angle (63 degree), steep seat tube (78 degree), short chainstay (435mm), reach up to 505mm in XL. It feels GREAT!
Aluminium frame, 160 Fork, 150mm coil rear wheel travel, mullet ebike (29er wheel on front and 27.5" rear).
DISCLAIMER: Marin paid for me to produce this video. This has allowed me to work with The Bike Pilot to film, capture and produce the video and therefore is market as 'Paid Promotion'. In no way did Marin have any control or influence over the video, narrative or final content. I believe that being open and honest is important. As brands now have direct access to YOU, my loyal audience via my channel, you deserve to know all the good stuff and bad stuff about the products I'm testing.
They make a couple of versions. I'm riding the more affordable model but they also do one with the 2021 Shimano EP8 motor and 630Wh battery, along with better fork and component spec.
Bike Prices:
Marin Alpine Trail E1: £4295 / €4899 / $4499 (US)
Marin Alpine Trail E2: £5695 / €6199 / $5999 (US)
I'd really think that if you want the most from the bike the E2 version will be the one for full sends with the Fox 38 fork and better climbing from the more low down grunt from the EP8. However, the E1 version that I have been riding is still proper good fun and very reasonably priced at £4295. Geometry and frame is the same between the two bikes, just different component / motor spec.
