Marlin 8 Gen 3

The Marlin 8 is a confidence-boosting trail bike with updated geometry that gives you more control on singletrack without skipping on features for everyday use, like mounts for racks and a kick stand. It’s built for years of progress thanks to 12-speed SRAM shifting and an upgraded RockShox air-spring suspension fork.
