What is the Marin El Roy?

Did the El Roy get discontinued? I was thinking of purchasing one from bikes online in Australia but it just vanished and never came back.

So I've been dreaming about building a hardtail and then I realized you already did it

Does it have enough clearance for a 203 mm rotor upgrade in the back?

Love my el roy but I really wish yall would make a size smaller size with maybe a 10 or 20mm shorter reach. As a 5'8" rider it requires a lot of muscle to bunny hop this beast

Hey, I think about getting the frame only, can I run it with 160mm fox 36?
My concept is that with proper 20% sag the geo is actually like around of 140 mm fork..

Hello,
I'm interested about the frame kit, I would like to know what size is the seat tube? What kind of bottom bracket it is and its size? Last question, does the bike accept a 1 1/2 1 1/8 fork?
Thx a lot

I've used this thing as a daily driver all of 2023 -- it is RAD with a capital R. It can handle enduro, trail, XC...whatever you ask of it. Best endorsement I can give is my very sweet Chromag Stulus has stayed in the garage while I've pulled this thing out daily. I ran it with 2.6 Butcher T9s both ends (plus CushCore) and now I'm running 2.6 DHF/Dissector. Super stable speed limo. It's like a big freeride GS ski...the more speed you feed it, the more it comes alive! Awesome job Marin :)

I love my Marin El Roy!! This bike is a real swiss knife(California Knife maybe?? Haha) you can roll everything with this trail slayer!! I hope Marin will never stop producing this bike

Great work John. The El Roy is such a great bike, the Swiss Army Knife of bikes for sure, cheers Joe.

Hey guys! Just wondering how the 2023 Marin Alpine Trail XR climbs? Sick channel love the bikes.

Just while you guys are here:

I’m a small MTB channel looking to grow. Was wondering how I could get a test bike from you guys to do a review? If not, I completely understand, it’s a lot to ask for a free bike 😂

Anyways thanks for answering my questions!

Sincerely,

Fishyy.

It's a very good bike, I wanted to buy it but what puts me off is the blue color. I don't like this blue, I find it ordinary. I wanted to buy (in France) the previous model in black but it was sold out. Is there a new model planned in a new color?

Such great Geo on the Hardtail! (External routing #1! also just replaced all 10 bearings on linkage of my alpine trail, phewf!) I was wondering if anyone has tested or checked clearance for 650bx3.0? its nice to have a plus bike here in Alberta for milder winter days, then a shred-mobile hardtail for summer fun! My wife who is 5ft7 has ridden my 21 Alpine Trail XL before no problems, the reach is deceptively short with a steep seat tube and slack Head tube, old Reach and wheelbase numbers are so different with STA\HTA like that, me want!!

Questions can you buy just frame , does it have a real bb ie threaded bb shell , and what does the large frame weight cheers 👏👍✌

Should have called it the Stretched Limo.

A Marin San Quentin in steel would be awesome.

Come on Mr Oldale - El Roy's is indeed an awesome eating place, but it is in Sonoma County... be Petaluma Proud

One of the only few bikes I would love to own only because of the Steel frame, and the other is the Pine Mountain.
