Expirience with the Marin Alpine Trail 7

Ludwig Döhl The Alpine Trail 7 is a modern enduro for riding in rough terrain. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Marin Fully. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Enduro of Marin. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Enduro 3199 Euro with higher quality components. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 3199 Euro, Marin provides more than the competitors in the same price range. We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
