Marin Alpine Trail E1

The Marin Alpine Trail E1 uses a 29-inch front wheel to roll over obstacles easily and a 27.5-inch rear wheel to provide better traction and a more playful, agile feel in tight corners. This combination is designed to give you the stability of a big-wheeled bike with the maneuverability of a smaller one.

The E7000 motor delivers 60Nm of torque, which provides consistent, natural-feeling assistance on technical climbs. While it isn't the most powerful motor on the market, it is highly efficient and reliable, making it well-suited for long days in the saddle where battery management is key.

For most riders, a 504Wh battery offers a solid range for a few hours of aggressive trail riding, depending on the assist mode used and the elevation gain. If you plan on doing all-day epics with significant climbing, you may need to manage your power modes carefully to ensure you don't run out of juice.

With 160mm of travel up front and 150mm in the rear, this bike is built to soak up big hits and chatter. The RockShox Super Deluxe Coil rear shock provides a very supple, consistent feel that tracks well over rough ground, giving you plenty of confidence on descents.

The Shimano Deore 10-speed drivetrain is specifically chosen for its durability and simplicity on e-bikes. While it has fewer gears than some high-end mountain bikes, the electric assist compensates for the range, allowing you to tackle steep gradients without needing a massive gear spread.

Yes, the bike is equipped with Shimano MT420 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. These are designed to provide the extra stopping power and heat management required to safely control the increased weight and speed of an electric mountain bike.
