Integrated rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to add accessories to this versatile steed.

Marlin models in sizes XXS and XS have a curved top tube and lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount

10-speed fuss-free Shimano CUES shifting, and the serious stopping power of hydraulic disc brakes.
Inspired by rider demand for trouble-free drivetrain longevity and performance, Shimano CUES offers a new foundation for versatility and durability across a range of both electric and standard bikes. CUES features Shimano’s new LINKGLIDE drivetrain technology for siginificantly increased life on wear items like chain, cassette, and chainrings.
Full-length, full-coverage guards on the chainstay protect your frame and keep your ride quiet.
Rack and fender mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter.
