The Trek Marlin+ 8 brings the easy-going feel of a hardtail mountain bike together with the boost of a Bosch motor. Built around an Alpha Gold Aluminium frame with a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork (up to 120 mm travel), it uses the smooth, natural-feeling Bosch Active Line Plus drive unit and a 400 Wh battery, paired with a 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain and Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. Tubeless-ready wheels, wide 2.60" tyres and a dropper post make it confident on the trail, while rack, mudguard and kickstand mounts keep it practical for the commute. It is a versatile, accessible e-MTB for Kiwi riders who want help on the climbs.

The Marlin+ 8 is for riders who want the reach and climbing help of an e-bike without stepping up to the cost of a top-tier e-MTB. The trusted Bosch system, dropper post and 4-piston brakes make it capable on real trails as well as the daily ride. For New Zealand riders, it opens up longer rides, steeper hills and bigger days out, while the rack and mudguard mounts mean it can carry the load on a weekday commute too.
