Expirience with the Marin ALPINE TRAIL 1

Ludwig Döhl When things get rough off-road, there's only one solution: suspension travel! With 170 mm travel in the fork, the ALPINE TRAIL 1 appeals especially to riders who want to let loose on the downhills. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. At the seating position, Marin combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust.
