Named after one of the most iconic sections of coastline and Insta-inspiring gravel riding of the American West, the Marin Headlands embodies everything about this beautiful and rugged terrain. A full unidirectional carbon chassis is purpose- built for multi-surface adventures, be they short days or long weeks in the saddle.

The META SX V5 is driven before its ridden. The 165mm of travel is combined with our new Virtual Contact System (VCS) kinematics. Even more effective, it comes into its own when released in the bike park or on steep trails. This is a bike for riders looking for an enduro bike that feels as close to a DH bike as possible. META SX V5 RIDE The META SX V5 RIDE benefits from a duo of ROCKSHOX suspension. On the front, we feature the 170mm Zeb with a terrain-proof chassis and 38mm stanchions. It inherits the new DebonAir+ spring and the new Rush RC hydraulic cartridge. On the back, the Super Deluxe Select+. By tweaking the negative and positive air volumes, you can adapt it specifically to your tastes. The end-of-stroke travel is also better managed, and the additional cartridge increases the volume of oil for more consistency. It's SRAM for braking with a pair of DB8s. These new brakes are designed for intensive braking and limited maintenance thanks to the use of mineral oil. We equipped this META SX V5 RIDE with a SRAM NX EAGLE 12-speed drivetrain. The ultra-wide range helps make it possible to face all the steep and uneven terrain. Finally, SPANK Spike Race 33 rims because their solidity is already proven. We added MAXXIS Assegai EXO and Minion DHRII EXO+ tyres for the perfect combo. *Please note that bike specs are subject to change without prior notice.

Active ingredients include: 29" wheels, berm-defying cornering tendencies, and a love for long rides. The Ripmo AF (Aluminum Frame) brings the award-winning performance of the carbon Ripmo to a wider, rowdier audience. It's everything we love from the carbon Ripmo, plus a few tweaks. IT'S METAL Over our long tenure from moun­tain biking's awk­ward ado­les­cence to its cur­rent any­thing-shred­dy era, we've exper­i­ment­ed with steel, aluminum, and tita­ni­um-remem­ber the Bow-Ti, the first super­bike? We remem­ber the met­al times, too, and it feels good to offer a pre­mi­um ride expe­ri­ence to our broad­en­ing fam­i­ly of rid­ers, cour­tesy of durable, afford­able alu­minum alloy. MODERN GEOMETRY With a steep, 76-degree seat tube angle and a rangy but not stratos­pher­ic reach, the Rip­mo AF places rid­ers cen­tral­ly and upright over the bot­tom brack­et. It makes for an effi­cient posi­tion that can go the long haul with­out plac­ing too much weight on its slack, 64.9-degree head­tube angle. A 44mm reduced-off­set fork is more sure­foot­ed on steep descents and stead­ies high speeds. Bet­ter up, bet­ter down. DW LINK Since 2005, we've part­nered with sus­pen­sion guru, Dave Weagle, on the dw-link sus­pen­sion plat­form. It pro­vides an unpar­al­leled com­bi­na­tion of climb­ing effi­cien­cy and down­hill per­for­mance, which has been proven repeat­ed­ly at the high­est lev­els of racing. COIL COMPATIBLE The Rip­mo AF is com­pat­i­ble with both coil and air shocks due to a more pro­gres­sive lever­age rate. It allows for coil's lin­ear­i­ty to thrive and we spec air shocks with tunes that pro­vide pop with­out feel­ing too harsh. On the trail, it gives the sus­pen­sion a sup­ple feel through­out the entire­ty of the stroke, enhanc­ing trac­tion no mat­ter how deep you dig. DVO Now that we made the frames lever­age rate pro­gres­sive enough for a coil we had to find a coil shock that could han­dle the increased stress of being dri­ven off of a cle­vis. The DVO JadeX is up to the chal­lenge so the Rip­mo AF comes with cus­tom-tuned DVO suspension. 2.6" TIRE CLEARANCE Ibis helped pio­neer the wide rim rev­o­lu­tion, which inspired the new crop of wider 2.4" – 2.6" tires. When paired togeth­er, this com­bo can be run at ultra-low pres­sures, which results in elbow-drag­ging cor­ner­ing trac­tion with­out sac­ri­fic­ing straight-line speed. PICK YOUR SIZE We use words like small, medi­um, and large to describe our siz­ing, because it's easy to under­stand, but our ultra-low standovers give you the abil­i­ty to size your frame based on reach and preference. LONG DROPPER POST What's bet­ter than a drop­per post? A longer one. Our frames are designed to accom­mo­date the longest drop­per posts pos­si­ble. Rid­ers over 5'8" (or 173cm) can eas­i­ly run a 185mm drop­per post, while folks between 5' and 5'8" (152cm – 172cm) can use a post 125mm or longer, depend­ing on inseam length. REMOVABLE ISCG05 MOUNT Our option­al ISCG 05 mount is there if you want it, remov­able if you don't.

On the trail, it gives the sus­pen­sion a sup­ple feel through­out the entire­ty of the stroke, enhanc­ing trac­tion no mat­ter how deep you dig. DVO Now that we made the frames lever­age rate pro­gres­sive enough for a coil we had to find a coil shock that could han­dle the increased stress of being dri­ven off of a cle­vis. The DVO JadeX is up to the chal­lenge so the Rip­mo AF comes with cus­tom-tuned DVO suspension. 2.6" TIRE CLEARANCE Ibis helped pio­neer the wide rim rev­o­lu­tion, which inspired the new crop of wider 2.4" – 2.6" tires. When paired togeth­er, this com­bo can be run at ultra-low pres­sures, which results in elbow-drag­ging cor­ner­ing trac­tion with­out sac­ri­fic­ing straight-line speed. PICK YOUR SIZE We use words like small, medi­um, and large to describe our siz­ing, because it's easy to under­stand, but our ultra-low standovers give you the abil­i­ty to size your frame based on reach and preference. LONG DROPPER POST What's bet­ter than a drop­per post? A longer one. Our frames are designed to accom­mo­date the longest drop­per posts pos­si­ble. Rid­ers over 5'8" (or 173cm) can eas­i­ly run a 185mm drop­per post, while folks between 5' and 5'8" (152cm – 172cm) can use a post 125mm or longer, depend­ing on inseam length. REMOVABLE ISCG05 MOUNT Our option­al ISCG 05 mount is there if you want it, remov­able if you don't.

The Marin Alpine Trail E takes all the greatness of our longest travel, most aggressive enduro platform to make our most capable eMTB to date.
