Marin Alpine 29er hardtail trail bike boasts 29 in. wheels to enhance your attack and speed on varied terrain.

29 in. wheels decrease the angle of attack, letting you maneuver easily over obstacles and thus create more forward momentum
In relation to the centerline of the 29 in. wheels, you'll have a lower center of gravity, giving you an increased sense of stability
6061 aluminum frame features organically shaped, custom butted E3 tubesets to provide maximum rigidity while maintaining lightweight responsiveness
Rock Shox Dart 3 suspension fork, with preload, rebound and turnkey lockout, gives you 100mm of travel to meet the demands of your ride
Complete Shimano shifter and derailleur components supply precision and durability
Low-maintenance Hayes mechanical disc brakes provide loads of stopping power in all conditions
Alex TD-20 29 in. rims and WTB Prowler tires roll over obstacles with great ease

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Imported.

Comments about Marin Alpine Trail 29er Bike - 2008:

The Marin 29er looks great with the cool paint and the oversized tires. Bike is probably pretty heavy compared to most since it so bulky, but it rides well. It seems to be at a decent price, but I had to add some Egg Beaters and it could probably use a sleeker seat. Components will need an upgrade, as they are lower end Shimano, but for an entery level bike, I think this is a pretty good deal.
