Marin Alpine Trail E1

When you take on the long climbs of the Laurentians or the technical trails of Charlevoix, you want a bike that carries you as far as your desire to ride. The 2026 Marin Alpine Trail E1 is an enduro electric mountain bike built for exactly that: climb without burning out, then let off the brakes when the trail drops.

At the heart of the bike is the Bosch Gen 5 Performance Line CX motor. It gives you 120 Nm of torque and up to 600% assist, enough to turn steep climbs into a real joyride. The 800Wh removable battery lets you ride all day, and you can pull it out to charge at home or swap it mid-ride.

The Series 4 Alloy frame is lighter and tougher than ever, with weather-sealed internal cable routing and solid chainstay protection. Out back, the MultiTrac2 LT suspension delivers 160 mm of well-controlled travel, while the X-Fusion Vengeance fork soaks up the big hits with 170 mm of travel. You stay planted through the chattery ground, wet roots, and rocks you'll find all over Québec.

For braking, the TRP DHR EVO Comp brakes with 200 mm rotors bite hard and manage heat well on long descents. The Shimano CUES 10-speed drivetrain is built to handle the motor's torque without flinching, and the Schwalbe Magic Mary tires grip loose dirt and wet ground alike.

The adjustable geometry lets you tune the head angle and bottom bracket height to match your terrain. The mixed wheels — 29 inches up front, 27.5 inches out back — combine stability and agility, and the Bosch Kiox 400C color display keeps all your ride data in view.

Efficient on the climbs. Solid and confidence-inspiring on the way down. An all-mountain electric bike built to ride hard on the terrain right here at home, in Purple Fade.
