Expirience with the Marin Alpine Trail XR

Marin Alpine Trail XR Review The Alpine Trail XR is a modern enduro for riding in rough terrain. The combination of a 63,5 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Alpine Trail XR, even if you ride fast. 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. Considering that in the range under 4500 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
