Thanks for watching and for the feedback mate! We've been really impressed with the new Alpine Trail, and Lia did a fabulous job on the review. [Wil]

I had mine for a couple of months, Excellent bike, they ride sick.... Lack anti-squat so pedal like ass but managable. I see you've said its heavy... its in the 17kg bracket...... so that puts it with alot of other enduro/super enduro..... FYI - i did sell it and bought a slash. even more capable but pedals like a trail bike in comparison.

All the info presented I need to make a buying decision. Thanks for being so thorough and actually trying all the different geo settings!!!

Thanks Joe! And agreed, we're loving the direction Marin has been heading for a while now, the price-to-performance ratio is really impressive. [Wil]

I was using the microphone in my comment below. I said specialized bikes are the bikes that I prefer. I hate making cell phones. Peace

[@323johnnybravo]

Marin is really showing me something. Trek take notes.

[@RobertNye-vq6hf]

I wouldn’t own another Maren the hex bolts start to rust and when you rinse it off after riding it even in the dust if you don’t make sure you wash it off completely and dry it it’ll rust completely specialized bike. That’s just my opinion. Happy trails.

[@sandycarmichael31]

Mmmn only marginally lighter than Polygon Collosus N9 and sounds like perhaps the Collosus with it's six bar suspension platform pedals better than the Marin despite being heavier? The welds on the alloy frame look fairly prominent, wish the value bikes from bikes online took a leaf out of Orbea's hydro polished alloy which looks like carbon except from a small visible weld near the BB. However it appears both Orbea and Marin are guilty of speccing underwhelming brakes my Rise H15 came with 2 piston Deores, which is even more ridiculous than DB8s on the 17kg Marin XR. How would the XR compare against a similarly rugged Commencal Meta AM or SX?

[@liwx]

what trail network is that ? where is it ?

[@bunthoeuntek1382]

Looks like a mix of Majura and Tuggers pines in Canberra

[@marklouieadame]

This need 3 position rear suspension trail, downhill and climb wish they make switch or electronic switch

[@a8f235]

Frame storage is such a meme lol.

[@marksandoval5361]

Maybe this bike should be called the Alpine Enduro XR because that's no Trail bike.
