Maximum Enduro Performance. Zero Compromises.
Built to charge harder, hit bigger lines and take on the toughest terrain, the Marin Alpine Trail 1 2026 Full Suspension Mountain Bike is a serious enduro machine designed for riders who want maximum confidence on every descent. Finished in a striking Black Blue colourway, the Alpine Trail 1 delivers race-inspired capability with a durable aluminium frame, long-travel suspension and a carefully selected component package ready for aggressive trail riding.
Sharing the same DNA as the top-spec Alpine Trail XR, the Alpine Trail 1 features Marin’s Series 4 6061 Aluminium frame, the advanced 160mm MultiTrac LT suspension platform, adjustable geometry and integrated downtube storage. Whether you’re smashing technical descents, railing berms or pushing your limits on demanding bike park trails, this bike is built to handle it all.
Enduro-Ready Frame & Suspension
At the heart of the Alpine Trail 1 is Marin’s Series 4 aluminium chassis, engineered for strength, stiffness and reliability when riding at speed. The frame features adjustable headset geometry and chainstay length, allowing riders to fine-tune handling characteristics to suit their riding style and terrain.
The MultiTrac LT suspension platform provides 160mm of controlled rear travel, delivering excellent small bump sensitivity, traction and support when landing big hits. Up front, the X-Fusion Vengeance 170mm fork gives you the confidence to attack steep descents, technical sections and rough terrain with precision.
A mixed-wheel setup combines a 29-inch front wheel with a 27.5-inch rear wheel, creating the perfect balance of rollover capability, grip and agility. The Alpine Trail 1 is also compatible with full 29-inch wheels, giving riders further setup options.
Shimano Deore 12-Speed Drivetrain
The Alpine Trail 1 is equipped with a reliable Shimano Deore M6100 12-speed drivetrain, offering smooth shifting and a huge 10-51T cassette range to tackle steep climbs and fast transitions between trails.
The Samox forged alloy crankset provides durability for aggressive riding, while the KMC X12 chain ensures dependable performance ride after ride.
Powerful TRP Hydraulic Brakes
When you’re riding at this level, stopping power is essential. The Alpine Trail 1 features TRP Slate EVO 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with large 203mm rotors front and rear, providing powerful, controlled braking even on steep, technical descents.
