Trek sends a brand new e-hardtail into the ring

Trek Marlin+

Trek presented the Marlin+, an e-bike version of its most popular mountain bike model. The new Marlin+ is based on the popular Marlin and equips the all-rounder hardtail with an intuitive Bosch motor that takes all bikers comfortably and quietly to their destination - whether on the single trail or in the city. And at a comparably low price, so that all riders can experience the best of Trek and Bosch.

The Marlin+ impresses with the same versatility of its non-electric siblings, such as a high-performance hardtail frame with a 120 mm suspension fork that smoothes out rocks and roots, as well as thru-axles at the front and rear for precise handling. Its 2.6 inch wide tires provide plenty of grip, while thanks to Smart Wheel Sizing, every frame size of the Marlin+ is paired with the optimal wheel size. This means that the frames from size M upwards are equipped with fast-rolling 29˝ wheels and the size S and XS models arrive in stores on size-specific, agile 27.5˝ wheels.

The heart of the Marlin+ is Bosch's new Active Line Plus mid-motor. The Active Line Plus develops 50 Nm of torque and impresses with its particularly quiet and smooth drive assistance, so that bikers always have enough e-boost available without overtaxing them. The motor receives the energy it needs from a 400 Wh Bosch CompactTube battery fully integrated into the frame with optimized energy density in a more compact, lighter package.

The 400 Wh battery enables long rides of up to 4 hours. And in combination with the 250 Wh PowerMore Range Extender from Bosch, the riding time with electric assistance can be extended by a further 60%.

Ease of use is a top priority on every ride thanks to Bosch's combination of the new Purion 200 display and the remote control. The elegant remote control provides all important riding data at a glance, without distracting you with unnecessary extras. A practical AUTO mode intuitively adjusts the motor assistance to the terrain, conditions and rider feedback, so you can worry less about the settings and concentrate fully on the trail ahead.

As with the non-electric Marlin, riders of a Marlin+ benefit from its versatility, including mounting points for pannier racks, mudguards and bike racks. This gives buyers the choice of riding their Marlin+ as a potent trail bike or converting it to the ultimate all-terrain commuter bike.

The all-new Trek Marlin+ is available now through Trek's global dealer network and in select markets online at trekbikes.com.
