   Features

   

   Will my bike have a curved top tube?

   Smaller frames (XS and S) have a top tube that dips down as it approaches the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily. The larger frames (M and ML) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height.

   

   Fit for every rider

   Marlin comes in seven frame sizes to suit riders of any height, and Smart Wheel Size ensures you’re on the fastest wheel that fits. The smallest sizes even come with short-reach brake levers and narrower handlebars that give smaller riders better comfort and control.

   

   High tech, high value

   Marlin looks and feels great. It’s packed with features usually found only on more expensive bikes, like a stylish frame with internal shift cable and brake hose routing, which can help your cables last longer by protecting them from the elements.

   

   Rack mounts

   Going for a long ride? Rack mounts make carrying accessories a breeze.

   
   

   

   Suspension lockout

   Locked suspension means your fork remains inactive, increasing pedalling efficiency. Perfect for extended road sections where efficiency is more important than bump absorption.

   
   

   

   Rear kickstand mount

   Chainstay mounts make it easy to install a rear kickstand that stays out of your way and supports bikes of all sizes. No more laying or leaning.

   
   

   

   Blendr stem

   Bontrager stem technology lets you clip your gear directly to the stem for clean looks and maximum user friendliness.

   Internal cable routing

   We route shift and brake cables through the frame to keep things clean and simple. And it looks great, too.
