    Marin Alpine Trail E1/2 thread

    Question for anyone else with a Medium E2... I bought a side access Zee bottle cage, thinking that it would allow a medium sized bottle as it does on my enduro bike, but even my smallest (620ml) bottle won't fit into the cage without hitting the toptube. It only just clears the coil at the back...

    I've picked my E2 up today from a UK shop. It was delivered to them yesterday FYI. All built up and ready to go for a bash before sunset. Can't wait

    Marin Alpine Trail E1/2 thread

    Same story here. Pre-ordered the E2 last November, told it would arrive by Spring... given up calling the LBS for updates now as its always another month away. I'll just keep my eye on this thread to see if anyone else in the UK has received theirs! Still not a lot available with similar...

    2021 Marin Alpine Trail EMTB released

    So..... still not seen anybody on an E2 yet. Does anybody have any idea what month the first batch are going to show up?! The Megawatt and a few other recent releases are very tempting, but still want to hold on for the E2 ideally.

    Yup, I've got an E2 pre-ordered also. I'll only start pestering dealer if I see other people are getting theirs delivered! As even the sponsored Marin riders are all on E1's I'm guessing they are still a way off...

    Is that for the first batch of E1s or E2? They'll be here when they're here...

    Thought you'd found a contender then, but for a similar reach (M marin vs L Haibike) the seattube on the Marin is 70mm lower! That makes a big difference when hitting the jumps when you want the seat out of the way.

    2021 Marin Alpine Trail EMTB released

    Yup. I got on the phone right after I saw your message in this thread, and just missed out on the April E2's by the sounds of it. I don't know how many bikes big brands plan to make for each batch, but doesn't 85 sound a bit on the low end? Especially considering the split in frame sizes too...

    2021 Marin Alpine Trail EMTB released

    I've just spoken to my local Marin dealer- and they confirmed all the E2 bikes for April/May are now pre-ordered (in little over 24hrs!). Next batch of E2's due October.... soooo that's annoying!
