Expirience with the Marin Alpine Trail XR

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 XR appeals especially to riders who want to let loose on the downhills. When it comes down to handling, Marin does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Marin Fully is ready for the majority of singletrails. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. Nevertheless, before making a purchase decision, you should not forget: for 5059 Euro Marin delivers an extremely good suspension. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Marin is behind its products.
