Key Features

• The Marlin Gen 3 gives you serious trail capability, with big tyre clearance and slack, confidence-boosting geometry that keeps you stable from singletrack to city


• Rack and mudguard mounts make it easy to accessorise, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter


• Its ThruSkew system is safer, simpler and stronger, plus it makes removing the rear wheel easy for flat fixes in a hurry


• Internal routing makes it easy to add a dropper post that lets you lower your saddle on the fly for more confident descending
