The Marlin+ 8 in Buff Beige is an electric mountain bike that's ready to level up your trail rides. Its Bosch Performance Line motor delivers powerful support for steep climbs and longer adventures, while a 120 mm RockShox Recon Silver RL fork keeps handling smooth through rough terrain. Upgraded components like wide tubeless-ready wheels and tyres, a SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and powerful 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes make it a capable trail bike that's ready to roam. It's right for you if... You want real trail capability with a serious boost behind it. You're riding longer loops and steeper climbs than a basic e-hardtail can handle, and you want the grip and flat protection of wide 2.6 in tubeless-ready wheels and tyres. The tech you get An Alpha Gold Aluminium frame with UDH and real mountain bike geometry, plus a 120 mm RockShox Recon Silver RL air-sprung fork. A Bosch Performance Line drive unit putting out 250 W and 75 Nm, assisting to 25 km/h, fed by a 540 Wh Bosch PowerTube battery and controlled through a compact Bosch Purion 200 remote. Add SRAM Eagle 12-speed shifting with a 10–50 cassette, Tektro 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes on 203 mm rotors, a TranzX dropper post and wide 2.6 in tubeless-ready wheels. The final word The Marlin+ is the go-to for riders looking to get into the electric mountain bike world. This one steps it up: a full-power Bosch Performance Line motor, a bigger 540 Wh battery and a longer-travel fork make it far more bike than the entry rung, without stepping into full-suspension money.
