Big battery, high-powered, slack geometry eMTB gets long travel suspension design
Powerful and frugal bosch motor
Great climbing position
Value for money
Balanced adjustable geometry morphs bike for specific needs and terrain
Sensibly specced
Chunky weight figure limits performance
A handful when the terrain tightens or you stray off line

Gravel bikes are just mountain bikes from the ‘90s! We’ve heard this many times, and it looks like Marin has gone with that analogy with the DSX FS. Gravel is a wide-ranging genre that is morphing rapidly filling all of those gaps between road and MTB and I enjoy Marin’s take on things with this bike. It’s a lot of fun to ride because it feels relatively light and nimble, and can accommodate up to 2.1in knobby tyres meaning it’s not just restricted to hardpacked gravel tracks either.

The Alpine Trail moves to a four-bar layout, with twelve geometry configurations to choose from.
Meaningfully adjustable geometry makes it adaptable
Very capable on its intended terrain
Steep seat tube angle feels great on steep climbs
Plenty of seat post insertion depth for long travel droppers
Small cannot mount a water bottle
On the heavier side
Poor performance of the RockShox Zeb Ultimate (at low pressure) lets the XR AXS model down
