Series 4 aluminum MultiTrac 2 LT frames feature mixed 29”/27.5” wheels, 170mm front and 160mm rear travel, and the utmost in adjustability. Riders can alter the head tube angle and bottom bracket/chainstay length, as well as run 29” rear wheels if desired. “Bear Box” downtube storage includes a zippered nylon bag to house trail essentials, and a 34.9mm seatpost increases strength and is compatible with the latest dropper posts.

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
