Style: The 2011 alpine 160 stays pretty much the same as the 2010 model with the exception of the steerer tube is now of the tapered variety. This gives greater stiffness to the front end whilst still allowing choice of a wide variety of stems. In addition the seatpost is now enlarged to 30.9 allowing the use of an adjustable height type post.


Everything about the Alpine 160 points to versatility, reliability and astonishing speed and agility whatever the terrain or gradient. Breathtaking downhill handling comes from a relaxed head angle and low standover and bottom bracket heights, coupled with massive lateral stiffness provided by a burly monocoque downtube, revamped single-pivot assembly borrowed from our legendary 224-evolution downhill bike and a Maxle rear dropout. A mixture of Reynolds and 6061 tubing delivers a combination of superb rigidity and impressive strength-to-weight ratios, and new CNC-machined shock mounts help dissipate loads and eliminate areas of stress. Meanwhile, the Alpine's steepened seat angle, short back end and careful pivot positioning deliver comfort and climbing efficiency you'd have thought impossible in a bike this fun to ride.

Pedal all day, hit the Alpine lifts or destroy a Megavalanche - it's your call, but the one bike you need is an Alpine 160.
