It’s a perfect step-up e-MTB, with proper mountain bike geometry and a trail-ready build that delivers fun without the faff.Power comes from Bosch’s Active Line Plus drive unit, delivering 50 Nm of smooth, quiet torque. It’s especially useful when climbing or covering longer distances, and its AUTO mode adapts the motor support automatically depending on your terrain and effort—so you can focus on the ride. The system is controlled via the compact Bosch Purion 200 remote/display combo that’s simple and intuitive to use.This model gets a serious upgrade over the Marlin+ 6, with a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork that’s air-sprung for better adjustability and responsiveness. With 120 mm of travel and a lockout feature, it keeps the ride composed whether you’re cruising over roots or hammering the fire roads.Shimano’s 12-speed Deore drivetrain gives you the gear range to handle varied terrain with smooth, precise shifts, and the big-range 10-51T cassette means you won’t run out of gears on steep climbs. Stopping duties are handled by Shimano MT420 hydraulic disc brakes with 4-piston callipers—giving you confidence-inspiring braking power on tricky descents or in poor weather.The wide 29×2.6″ Bontrager Gunnison Pro XR tyres are tubeless-ready for fewer flats and better trail grip, paired with sturdy Bontrager Line TLR rims. A TranzX dropper post with 150 mm travel adds even more trail capability, allowing you to adjust saddle height on the move.Whether you’re discovering local woodland loops or adding some electric ease to your weekend adventures, the Marlin+ 8 offers trail performance, e-MTB practicality and all-day comfort—all without draining your wallet.
