WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
The Marlin Gen 3 gives you serious trail capability with bigger tyre clearance, internal dropper post routing, ThruSkew rear axle and longer, slacker geometry that gives you more stability on steeper trails and at higher speeds
Its upgraded RockShox fork gives you 100 mm of suspension for turning rocks and roots in the trail into smooth-sailing
Rack and mudguard mounts make it easy to accessorise, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
Internal routing makes it easy to add a dropper post that lets you lower your saddle on the fly for more confident descending
Marlin models in sizes XXS and XS have a curved top tube and lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount
