It’s a well-equipped 150mm travel mullet ripper that’s on the affordable end of the catalog.
BikerumorMarin’s managed to strike the perfect balance between compliance and resistance, hitting the sweet-spot of ebike suspension on its first attempt – and that’s quite some praise.

Price: $6299.00 | Model Year: 2022 | An all mountain enduro electric bike with long travel Fox 160mm front and 150mm rear suspension. Setup as a mullet with 29
An all mountain enduro electric bike with long travel Fox 160mm front and 150mm rear suspension. Setup as a mullet with 29" front wheel and 27.5" rear wheel. Available in four frame sizes to offer improved fit.
Shimano Deore XT 12-speed drivetrain with wide 10-51 tooth cassette. Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes with large 203mm rotors, quad piston front caliper, tool free adjustable reach levers for easy adjustment on the trail.
Purpose built frame with downtube integrated battery pack. Shimano EP8 high torque motor is compact and lightweight, but still responsive and powerful. It offers 120+ RPM pedal support and up to 85 newton meters of torque.
Battery pack requires a 4mm hex wrench for removal vs. a security key. Charge port interface is low on the frame and difficult to plug in. Power button and display navigation button are separate from control pad. The bike is only available in one color.

The Marin Alpine Trail e-mountain bikes offer killer performance for the price, an upgrade-worthy frame, and generous rider fits.

Marin Alpine Trail XR is a budget-friendly mountain bike that packs some serious muscle, making it an extremely capable 1550/160mm option.
jul 2021 · Ed Thomsett
Big fun on a (relatively) small budget
Geometry tweaks make it an even better descender
Super-active rear suspension
Worthy of upgrading when you have the cash
Annoying cable rattle
A few minor spec grumbles
Heavy for a carbon bike

Equipped with on-trend geometry and a very attractive price tag, the Marin Alpine Trail 7 might just be one of the best value enduro bikes on the market. So how does it perform on the trail? And what compromises have been made to get it down to this price point? Read on for our Marin Alpine Trail review.
Extraordinarily capable bike for the money
Totally solid & quiet on rough trails
Loves to corner aggressively and descend like a hooligan
Top-notch suspension that's easy to setup
Tyres offer fantastic all-condition grip
Powerful brakes with big rotors & metal pads
Rear wheel de-tensioned during first ride
Pivot hardware came loose
Not the lightest bike around
Dropper post lever is a bit wiggly & cheap

Test riders queued up early to ride the Marin, not only for the newness of the bike itself but also because it was the first test bike that was equipped with the new Shimano EP8 motor.

WIth moderate, supportive travel, aggressive geometry and even more aggressive spec, the Alpine Trail Carbon is here to party ... at $4,100!
Amazing value
Modern, aggressive geometry
High-end spec where it counts and not where it doesn't
Comfortable climbing geometry
Moderate travel may be overwhelmed by aggressive spec and geo
Fox 38 fork may be overkill for some riders
Not a fast climber
