Had the E2 for about a year now and it’s a beast! It’s like a monster truck of bikes. It’s my 4th E’b and my favourite, suspension’s excellent and steady as a rock through the rough- it smooths out trails so much you just wanna go faster. Slack front gives you confidence, short rear helps with the pop. Jumps really well for an E’b and as you said you don’t see many at the Bike park

Nice bike Lance and it looks like it rides is good as well. All ways looking forward watching your next video mate

Great edit Lance. I really enjoy it. Love the drone shots and the slow motion and great talk.

You actually look better on that bike than the kTM 🤷🏻‍♀️😜🤣

Lance,your original pronunciation is correct,mate....I lived there for 20 years...Cheers

Love your videos Lance and nice review. I must be a bit like Graham and like something a bit different. I have also bought a Marin Alpine Trail E2 but a medium (You are welcome to ride it if you are down in Hawkes Bay). I am 59 and very new to mountain biking, but i am loving it. E-mtbs are just awesome.

Kia Ora Lance. Sold my 2018 Levo and bought the E1 version of this bike in late 2021. The suspension eats up the rough stuff no problem and it jumps as smooth as butter. I was nearly going to fork out the extra 2.5K for the E2 but glad I didn't as the 60 nm E7000 motor in Trail and turbo mode is plenty strong to power me up steep and tricky terrain. First bike I've ridden and owned with a coil rear and couldn't imagine going back to non-coil. Keep up the good work, bro 😎 (PS -- I'm 178cm and usually buy size L but opted for size M b/c the reach is 465. Glad I did as it's poppy and playful while also being stable as a rock DH. I can see how the XL would handle like a tank for you).

Nice review Lance. We need to see the Captain shredding the beast.

I live in San Francisco, just south of Marin County where Mt. Tamalpais and the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame are both located. I've been living in SF since 2010 and EVERYBODY here pronounces it the same way you do: Mah-ren, NOT Mare-inn.

Nice bike love those alloy welds. Aye aye captain.

Lovin' the man rambling Lance🤣👍

Had my E2 two years now and it's an awesome bike

Marin's new Suspension platform works fantastic whether its ebike or A steam bike. and they are built very strong, very good fun geo. IMO They are in the top 3 Ebikes

Marin 4 life ,still riding my resto mod 1999 Marin Hawk Hill Ovation 🤠💯🙏🇬🇧EPIC

Looks like quite the capable machine that bike. There is some good international reviews on the scott ransom eride 920

This thing is a weapon and loves the punishment. I love this e-bike and it just ploughs through everything. Good fun in the jumps too and is stable as a rock. This thing eats G5s for breakfast. I wont even ride my Giant Reign anymore

I am on the hunt for this bike. It's the only full powered emtb on my list. Your jumping skills have really improved! Keep up the good work mate!👍🏽

Great video. Good info. Nice bike

Cool bike! Alpine trail are very good 👍 design. Short in the back, low stand over, long, slack, jumps and climbs well! Chunky welds are strong 💪 😂. Very good value and cooler and tougher than more expensive stuff. Good bike to lend to people👊

We call it muh rin over here in Cali…lol but pronounce it however. We all know where it’s at. One of my favorite bike brands.

Was gonna buy one of these but just couldn't find a medium anywhere. We rented E1s in Bentonville AR for a day and had a great day, though I'm pretty sure the forks were blown.

Good looking scooter 👍

I'm jsut getting back into riding after a 30 year break. I dont expect to be doing much jumping or racing just paved or groomed trails mostly. I've got a Rift Zone XR on order arriving next month. However I've now been looking at ebikes a bit as I understand them better. This one has me curious for sure.

You should delay your trip to Whistler till the next year after, They are replacing Fitz to an 8 pack chair next summer, will be awful for lines even with the new creekside gondola

Great video, very impressive riding. I am just about to pull the trigger and get this bike while there are a couple of them available in the UK. I am 6.2. Should I get the XL, or will it be too stretched?

Heya Lance, great video, ballsy to do even the middle drop at night I reckon! I may have missed it as I keept on getting inturupted while watching video, but what is the Battery size on this bike?

Masterpiece 😮

My wife has a marin alpine and I have a rail. Down hill the Alpine is definitely a better bike.

What camera are you using if you don't mind me asking looks really good

How does it compared to a Trek Rail? Meaning Geo, ridding EP8 vs CX4? Is this Marin more agro (endurish kind a way), than the Rail? Thanks a lot! Nice review

Nice bike, Marin are making some really cool bikes at the moment. What’s your thoughts on coil vs air rear shocks.

How good is the battery life? I mainly want an e-bike because down here in my part of the world (Southern California) To get to the good local trails in the hills you gotta typically do a several mile climb which I don’t ride mountain bikes strictly for the work out. So any help getting to the top easier and quicker without giving meysf a heart attack I love ha. Curious how many km/miles you can go before the battery is about to die. But that bike sure looks sharp!!

Your first pronunciation of Marin is correct, they pronounce it a bunch of times in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNuWoaeZyLSuhYk.html

Hey Lance. I’m on the hunt for this bike at the moment. Judging from what I’ve seen, read and been told by a couple of mtb mechanics- the Marin E2 is a great price for the great components etc. especially the motor. I currently have a 2020 Specialized Enduro Expert. With 170 travel front and back as well as a token in the forks and rear suspension. Mainly because I an 95kgs and 169cm tall. But to be honest, I’m not an elite rider and don’t send every feature in the park either. How did you find the smaller amount of travel on this e-bike ? Did it bottom out? I have never ridden a coil bike either.

Thank you for another great review. I wanted to buy that bike myself but supply issues in America made that impossible. Was the bike poppy? What did the slack front and short chainstay length feel like?

Nice bike for the money. No need to get an expensive e-bike to have fun. What light did you use while riding at night?

Fox 38s FIRE 🔥

Interested in your thoughts on the Trek Fuel EXE.

How tall are you? Looking at buying one of these but not sure on size.

Do you know when they are dropping the 2023 model?

Everyone here in the bay area ca prounounces it like you: muh-rin, for marin county

Personally, I'm a huge fan of the aluminum welds, especially when done as immaculately as the Marins. I'm sure they're done robotically, but they are still a work of art in my opinion. I just ordered one of these beasts, and I can't wait to start ripping it up on my backyard trails and beyond! How tall are you if you don't mind me asking?

Wouldn't touch Shimano with a barge pole, I'm been waiting since February for my replacement motor... A lot of excuses.... Covid, shipping, manufacturing.. Blaa Blaa Blaa.. Stuck in limbo for 9 months..

Is grahams bike model factory?

and to add about the carbon vs alloy, Modern alloy bikes generally suck. I've been through several Alloy frames this year they just crack at welds or bending etc Been alot of debate recently about alloy vs carbon but usually the carbon hate comes from the guys who cant afford it, its repairable to quite a degree where as a Alloy is trashed

first comment

Trek money 💰 for life ! So disappointed in the captain 😂

Thst bike looks ridiculously huge 😅

I have lived in Northern California my whole life (47 years). I have never heard it Pronounced Mairin, It is pronounced Maurin.
