The Marlin 6 is the perfect bike to improve your trail skills. Its updated, slacker frame geometry makes it easier to control on descents, while the improved suspension fork takes advantage of uneven trails. Integrated rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to add accessories to this versatile bike.
FEATURES
- The Marlin Gen 3 offers great trail capability with increased tire clearance, internal dropper post routing, ThruSkew rear axle, and a slacker, longer geometry that gives you more stability on steeper and faster trails.
- Its RockShox fork gives you 100mm of suspension to turn rocks and roots on the trail into smooth sailing.
- Fender mounts help equip it with accessories, so your mountain bike can also work for your daily commutes.
- Internal routing makes it easy to add an adjustable seatpost that allows you to lower the seat on the fly for a safer descent.
- Marlin models in XXS and XS sizes have a curved top tube and lower standover height, making it easier for smaller riders to get on and off the bike.
