Alcatraz 1
The Alcatraz 1 allows the rider to follow in Matt Jones’ footsteps to build and personalize the best dirt jump bike possible. At home boosting your local 6-pack, ripping up the pump track, or hitting the local skate park the Alcatraz has what you need to take care of business.
The Series 3 aluminum frame is built for the hard knocks and is stiff enough for lightning-fast acceleration and tough enough for the heavy hits. Short stays keep manuals easy and ambidextrous cable routing means you can run your brake on the left or right of the bars. There’s a suspension-corrected CrMo fork, front and rear Tektro disc brakes, Vee Tire rubber and plenty of bombproof Marin components. Best of all, it’s available in two frame sizes, regular and long.
The all-new Alpine Trail series is our boldest and most capable line of enduro bikes ever, built upon our most advanced, most adjustable frames to date.
Series 4 aluminum MultiTrac 2 LT frames feature mixed 29"/27.5" wheels, 170mm front and 160mm rear travel, and the utmost in adjustability. Riders can alter the head tube angle and bottom bracket/chainstay length, as well as run 29" rear wheels if desired. "Bear Box" downtube storage includes a zippered nylon bag to house trail essentials, and a 34.9mm seatpost increases strength and is compatible with the latest dropper posts.
While the Alpine Trail 1 is the starting point in the three-model lineup, we didn’t make any concessions regarding the spec. High-performance Fox suspension keeps you in control, while a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain transmits your power to the wheel. TRP’s Slate Evo 4-piston brakes feature 203mm rotors, keeping all that speed in check in a powerful, fade-free manner.
Big mountains, epic passes, and all-day ripping descents. If you live for the alpine adventure and gravity-fueled downhills, look no further than the Alpine Trail series. Updated for 2021, the Alpine Trail is built around the longest travel version of our critically acclaimed MultiTrac platform with progressive slack headtube/steep seattube geometry, low-slung aluminum frames, and 29" wheels. The Alpine Trail is here to conquer all singletrack in its path.
Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Frame
- Alpine Trail Carbon 1 and 2 models feature high modulus carbon fiber and monocoque construction to deliver the strongest and stiffest Alpine Trail to date.
Modern Geometry

Functional Long Travel
- The Alpine Trail was built to give riders long travel with no sacrifice in pedaling efficiency, providing a bike that will outshine the competition on the climb and still allow you to hold it wide open on the descents.

"XR" = "Xtra Rad" here at Marin, and like the XR models that have preceded the new Alpine Trail, we created a model for the more discriminating rider.

Don't forget the Maxxis rubber and our proprietary CNC machined 35mm stem and matching Trail Bar.
