Mk2 Alpine
Designed in the UK. Tested and developed exclusively in the Alps.
When Billy at Dirt Magazine was looking for the ultimate hardtail to do the 2007 Mega Avalanche on, he chose the Alpine. It's also the tool of choice for the guides at trailAddiction.com who ride their Alpines day in day out covering thousands of genuine Alpine trail miles every season.
Made from a mix Reynolds 853 double butted air hardened cro-moly and 4130 cro-moly tubes, the Alpine is a hardtail frame designed for tearing up and down proper mountain trails. The Alpine works best with a 120-160mm travel suspension fork so the rider can dial in the ride and amount of travel they want based on the type of trail that lays in wait.
Frame weight is around 5.5lbs. If you're the type who thinks that's too heavy, you probably don't ride hard enough to justify owning an Alpine.
Alpine builds
As with all Dialled Bikes frames you can put them together to suit the way you ride. Take a look at some Alpine builds here.
