![]() Versatile and entertaining enough that getting to the gravity-fueled goods is almost as enjoyable as the downhills themselves. I’m already wondering how I can persuade Marin to let me keep the bike a bit longer.Ĭapable, fun, comfortable and affordable, the Alpine Trail E2 is a top performer. By using the tried-and-tested Alpine Trail platform, incorporating Shimano’s newest EP8 drive unit, and giving the bike geometry numbers that maximize capability and fun on the climbs and descents it's a very appealing entry into their lineup. The ride, the price and support make the Marin Alpine Trail E2 one our favorite e-MTBs of 2021.Įven though my time with the Alpine Trail E2 was brief, it’s abundantly clear Marin has nailed it straight out of the blocks with its first attempt an ebike. We’d opt for beefier tires to really push the E2, but outside of that, our criticisms are few and far between. We loved that it was spec’d with a coil shock, and the FOX suspension does everything it’s supposed to, keeping the bike composed at speed yet playful at the park. Everything about the E2 is tried-and-true, and it has plenty of power and motor/battery customization options for versatile riding situations. It is a solid, no-frills machine from a long-established brand with local dealer support. FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS: At $6,299 (USD), Vital highly recommends the Marin Alpine Trail E2.
