I I have a large alpine trail e2 and it fits great.
I’m 6’ with long arms.
Anyone about my size have an alpine trail?
Are you riding a large or and XL?
The e2 reach is 487 and the pedal bike is 480.
XL reach is 515 seems like that’d. R huge

I'm 6-1 with average arms. I rode a large then went to an XL. The XL was much better for me.

Good to know
Have you tried other bikes lately like a ripmo, stumpy evo or any Santa cruz bikes?
I’m comfortable on an XL ripmo and tallboy. S5 evo.
The reach on the E2 feels perfect with a 50 stem
Guess I could put a 35 stem on an XL alpine trail
I really like the feel of the e2 just like pedaling more than e-Moto most rides.

We are a Transition and Marin dealer. If you're looking for the perfect bike that is not a Marin get an alloy Patrol. There are some XL bikes avail for almost nothing.

If you like Marin hang in there. Your patience will be rewarded.

Yo tengo una alpinetrail 7 que es igual geometría que xr, instale una RockShox zeb de 170mm, y para bajar anda súper bien mas estabilidad y rigidez.
Sag de 25%, 2 tokems

Marin Alpine Trail Al

It rides really well and is very poppy

Well dang. There was talk of a new AT breaking cover at Sea Otter but apparently that was wishful thinking.

Hang in there.

Also would like to know what they are like as they are a decent price in the UK currently. Other option would be a Merida one sixty 500.

Like Deore 4 pots so I sure about the TRP brakes on the blue XR.

Worldly different in quality, with the Merida being so much nicer - The Merida stuff is Some of the nicest quality you can get.
Sure the Headset routing can be a pain once every 12 months for 5minutes..........

Cheers for the reply. Why do you say that?

I'm currently torn between a 160 500 or getting a 140 500 and buy a 170mm fork and shock for bigger days as they are the same frame and build kit. Two bikes in one if you get what I mean

I'm assuming there'll be an Alpine Trail XR with AXS out soon? A specific Google search shows some pictures and renders...
