Model Significance

The AL-Mega XT served as the absolute flagship model within Alpinestars' 1990 lineup. Built around the brand's iconic elevated chainstay (ECS) design, the chassis was constructed from oversized 7005-series aluminum "Mega" tubing finished with a clean, brushed surface texture. It drew its name from the premium Shimano Deore XT component group specified as standard factory equipment. This platform represented the pinnacle of the brand's engineering during the formative era of professional mountain bike racing.
