2024 Marlin 4 Gen 2 - Crimson

It's ideal for riders who want a mountain bike with knobby tyres that can double as a rugged commuter. Disc brakes, front suspension, Shimano 14-speed shifting and mounts for a rack and mudguards make this a great bike for trail riders and campus commuters alike.

You want an introductory mountain bike at an incredible price, but also want a commuter that's rugged enough to hop kerbs on the way to class.

A lightweight aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look, trustworthy 14-speed Shimano shifting with a wide range of gearing so you always have the right gear for your terrain, powerful mechanical disc brakes and a suspension fork that takes the edge off bumps and rough terrain.

The Marlin is made for any adventure. The rack and mudguard mounts make it a great choice for commuters who want to get a little rad on the way to class or the shops.

The Marlin Gen 2 gives you all-around versatility with fast-rolling tyres and balanced, neutral geometry that keeps you comfortable and in control off-road. No wonder it’s our best-selling mountain bike ever.
Rack and mudguard mounts make it easy to accessorise, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
