IN STORE PICKUP OR LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY
Long climbs out of the valley and full days on the KVR get a lot more approachable when you've got a Bosch motor behind you. The Marlin+ 8 Gen 2 is an electric hardtail mountain bike built around a Bosch Performance Line motor with 75Nm of torque and an integrated 540Wh PowerTube battery, giving you strong support on steep climbs and the capacity for longer outings. A 120mm RockShox Recon Silver RL air fork smooths out rough terrain, while a SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, Tektro 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes, a TranzX dropper post and wide tubeless-ready 2.60" tires make it a capable trail bike. Rack, fender and kickstand mounts mean it can work as a weekday commuter as well.

| WHO IS THIS FOR? |
The Marlin+ 8 Gen 2 is for riders who are newer to mountain biking or coming back to it and want an electric hardtail that makes long climbs and bigger days realistic without moving up to full-suspension e-MTB pricing. It suits someone who splits time between flowy singletrack, rail-trail touring and running errands around town, and who will value the 75Nm Bosch motor, the dropper post and the practical rack and fender mounts. Riders who want one e-bike that handles weekend trails and weekday commuting will get the most from it. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations.
