CloseProduct details
IN STORE PICKUP OR LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY
Whether you're exploring singletrack at Hydraulink Trails or climbing the fire roads around Knox Mountain, the Marlin 6 Gen 3 is built to help riders level up their trail skills. Its updated, slacker frame geometry improves control on descents, while a RockShox Judy fork smooths out rough terrain and tubeless-ready Bontrager Kovee wheels reduce flats and rolling resistance. A 10-speed Shimano CUES LINKGLIDE drivetrain delivers smooth, durable shifting, and an internally routed dropper post lets you move your weight back with confidence as the trail gets steeper.

| WHO IS THIS FOR? |
The Marlin 6 Gen 3 suits riders progressing beyond an entry-level hardtail who want a dropper post and tubeless-ready wheels for more confident, technical descents on trails like Hydraulink or Knox Mountain. Its slacker geometry and upgraded suspension make it especially appealing to riders who've outgrown a basic mountain bike and are building real trail skills. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425. |
| HOW TO SET UP |
Our team will set up your RockShox Judy fork's coil spring preload for your weight, and get your tubeless tire setup dialled in on the Maxxis tyres for local trail conditions. We'll also set up your TranzX dropper post and handle contact point fit — saddle height and handlebar reach — so your pedaling and descending position both feel natural. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online. |
