The Marlin+ 8 in Purple Flip/Black Fade is an electric mountain bike that's ready to up your game on the trail. Its Bosch Active Line Plus motor gives you just the boost you need for getting up steep climbs and riding further without breaking the bank, and a RockShox suspension fork keeps handling smooth through the rough stuff.

You get 12-speed Shimano Deore shifting, Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes and wide, 2.6 in tubeless-ready wheels that boost grip and help prevent flats.
