It's right for you if...

You want a trail bike that's dialed for building confidence on the dirt, and versatile enough for commuting to work or school.

The tech you get

A lightweight aluminum frame with modern trail riding geometry and internal routing that keeps cables protected and keep the bike looking sleek. A 100mm RockShox Judy front suspension fork that cushions rocks, roots, and bumps in the trail, 10-speed fuss-free Shimano CUES shifting, and the serious stopping power of hydraulic disc brakes.

The final word

Marlin 6 is an ideal trail bike for riders who want to progress on the dirt, and want a bike that can keep them rolling off of the trail, too.

Why you'll love it

1. 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
2. Its RockShox fork gives you 100mm of suspension for turning rocks and roots in the trail into smooth-sailing
3. Rack and fender mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
4. Internal routing makes it easy to add a dropper post that lets you lower your saddle on the fly for more confident descending
5. 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
