- Marlin Gen 3 gives you serious trail capability, with big tire clearance and slack, confidence-boosting geometry that keeps you stable from singletrack to city
- Its RockShox fork gives you 100mm of suspension for turning rocks and roots in the trail into smooth-sailing
- Fender mounts make it easy to accessorize, 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 stand over height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount.
