Loved the world over, Marlin has long held hearts of new riders and seasoned rippers alike, and to keep everyone rolling with ear-to-ear grins we’ve revamped it with more trail confidence than ever. Whether zipping through town, dipping your toes into the trail for the first time, or slicing through switchbacks as a well-seasoned rider, you’ll appreciate the sleek new frame that ups the capability and brings looks to match. There’s a reason it’s always been your favorite. Please visit the shop to test ride and/or purchase your Marlin today.

01
Marlin’s head tube (a) sits at a slacker (more acute) angle. The slacker head tube angle (b) moves your front wheel farther in front of you. Take it to the trail, and this slacker head tube angle (b) boosts stability and control for confidence when descents get steep and rowdy.

02
To balance a slacker head tube angle (b), Marlin features a steeper (more upright) seat tube angle (d). A steeper seat tube (c) lets you get the most out of every pedal stroke, so you don’t waste power on the climb to the top.

03
Marlin is equipped with a short stem and wider handlebar for more direct control and responsiveness when you’re maneuvering through rocks and roots. Meanwhile, a longer reach (e) gives you extra stability so you can ride faster and more confidently.

Secure your ride

A new Thru-Skew axle provides better rear wheel security, holding your wheel in place snugly and ensuring it doesn’t slip out of the frame, even when you’re rolling through rough-and-tumble terrain.

Fully guarded

Full-length, full-coverage guards on the chainstay protect your frame and keep your ride quiet.

Float on the trail

Big 2.4˝ tires elevate traction, so you stay planted on dusty switchbacks. But not only do bigger tires give you more grip — they also soak up bumps for a smoother ride.

Upgrade ready

With a frame this nice, you won’t want to part ways with your Marlin as your skills grow. Marlin Gen 3 is upgrade-ready, so you can upgrade your bike when you upgrade your skills.

New internal cable routing lets you install a dropper post — and sizes XS and up can be upgraded to a bigger, 120mm fork when you’re ready to take on bigger trails.

A bike for everyone

We believe that ever rider deserves a well-fitted bike, that’s why Marlin is available in every size from XXS to XXL — and even an “extra-medium” size for riders who fall in between a medium and large. Each size is tuned to its riders, with Smart Wheel Sizing that scales the wheel size with the bike size, so every rider has comfortable stand over height. Smaller, XXS, and XS frames also feature a curved top tube to boost confidence and make getting on and off a breeze.

The Marlin family

Both generations of Marlins are true mountain bikes aimed at the rider who wants a versatile hardtail capable of off-road singletrack or in-city missions. Both generations have a 100mm travel suspension fork and 29” wheels on most sizes except for smaller sizes with proportionate suspension travel and wheels, thus making it a great bike for shorter riders as well.

Marlin Gen 2

Get all-around versatility on Marlin Gen 2. It fits up to 2.2˝ tires, and features balanced, neutral geometry that keeps you comfortable and in control as you venture off road.

 

Marlin Gen 3

Get serious trail capability with Marlin Gen 3’s bigger, 2.4˝ tire clearance, internal dropper post routing, and a stiffer and more secure ThruSkew rear axle. Plus, its updated longer, slacker geometry gives you a boost in stability on steeper trails and at higher speeds.
