Trek Marlin+ 8
Plug in and get hooked
Soar up trails, through town and everywhere in between with the ultimate do-anything e-MTB. The Marlin+ is an electric hardtail that gives you all the versatility you crave and adds in a simple boost for flattening climbs and cruising with ease. You get features that matter most, like a Bosch drive unit and a confident and capable bike frame – without the hefty price tag.
As a hardtail eMTB, the Marlin+ 8 offers the direct, efficient feel that cross-country riders demand, with a suspension fork up front to keep you in control over roots, rocks and rough ground. Its geometry balances sharp handling with stability, making it as capable on technical climbs as it is fast on flowing descents.
Smooth, Natural Assistance
The integrated drive system delivers smooth, natural-feeling support that responds instantly to your pedalling, giving you the extra boost exactly when you need it. Its intuitive power delivery makes every climb more manageable without ever feeling forced, so you still enjoy the lively, connected ride of a true XC hardtail eMTB. A high-capacity, long-lasting battery is cleanly integrated into the frame, providing the range to tackle big days out, link up longer loops or simply enjoy more time in the saddle without worrying about running low.
Explore Without Limits
The beauty of the Marlin+ 8 hardtail eMTB is how it transforms every ride. For new riders, it takes the sting out of climbs and opens up trails that might have felt out of reach. For experienced mountain bikers, it adds range and speed without sacrificing the precision of an XC hardtail. Whether it’s long days linking up your favourite loops, venturing further into the hills, or simply squeezing more adventure into a busy week, the Marlin+ 8 makes every ride bigger, better and more rewarding.
Intuitive and informative
The Purion 200 remote gives you all the data you want with a bright colour display that clearly shows your battery life, range and speed. Simple controls let you change display data and power up your ride.
