Product details

IN STORE PICKUP OR LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY

Whether you're climbing up to Hydraulink Trails or working the flow through Knox Mountain, the Marlin+ 8 is your entry into trail e-MTB riding with just the right boost and value. Equipped with a Bosch Active Line Plus motor, it helps you crush climbs and go the distance without blowing the budget, while a 120mm RockShox Recon Silver suspension fork smooths out roots and rocks. Tubeless-ready wheels and wide 2.6" tires, paired with a precise 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, give you the control and confidence to explore farther and faster on Kelowna's trail network.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Marlin+ 8 suits riders looking to dip their toes into the electric mountain bike world for trails like Hydraulink or Knox Mountain, with enough power from the Bosch Active Line Plus motor to take the burn out of long climbs without a premium price tag. Its tubeless-ready wide tires and simple, intuitive controls make it especially appealing to riders who want confident trail capability without a steep learning curve.

HOW TO SET UP

As a certified Trek dealer, our team can walk you through the Bosch Purion 200 display and assist mode setup, personalize your motor assist levels, and tune the RockShox Recon fork to your weight and riding style — making sure everything is dialled before you leave the shop. We'll also set up your internally routed TranzX dropper post and get your tubeless tire setup dialled in on the Gunnison Pro XR tyres for local trail conditions. We offer ongoing e-bike servicing and expert year-round advice. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.

FAQ

Q1: What size Trek Marlin+ 8 do I need?
Trek offers the Marlin+ 8 in five sizes, XS through XL, with wheel size scaled to frame size for optimal handling. Check Trek's geometry chart for exact measurements, or come into either Fresh Air location and our team will get you set up on the right size.

Q2: Is the Marlin+ 8 right for Hydraulink or Knox Mountain?
Yes — with a 120mm-travel RockShox fork, wide tubeless-ready 2.6" tires, and a standard dropper post, the Marlin+ 8 is well suited to the singletrack and fire roads found at Hydraulink Trails and Knox Mountain.

Q3: How far can I ride on a single charge, and what factors affect range?
Range depends on your assist level, rider weight, terrain, and elevation gain — the Bosch Purion 200 display shows an estimated remaining range in real time, and our team can walk you through the Bosch eBike Flow app's range tools to help you plan your rides.
