Expirience with the Marin Alpine Trail Carbon 1

Ludwig Döhl The Alpine Trail Carbon 1 is a modern enduro for riding in rough terrain. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Marin Fully, the 63,5 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled 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. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Enduro 3849 Euro with higher quality components. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Marin sets the bar high!
