The Marlin 6 is the perfect bike for developing your skills on the trail. Its modern, slacker frame geometry provides better control on descents, while the high-quality suspension fork effectively absorbs bumps on the trail. Integrated mounts for racks and kickstands make adding accessories easier, enhancing versatility. If you're looking for a bike that allows you to gain trail experience and is versatile enough to assist you when getting on and off, this is it. Does my bike have a curved top tube? Smaller frames feature a top tube that curves down just before the seat tube. This design results in a lower standover height, making it easier for shorter riders to mount and dismount. Larger frames come with a straight top tube since taller riders usually do not have issues with standover height. A lot of technology at an attractive price. The Marlin not only looks great but also rides incredibly well. It is packed with features typically found only on more expensive bikes, such as a stylish frame with internal cable routing that keeps the cables protected from the elements. Inspired by the demand for a reliable, durable performance drivetrain, Shimano CUES offers a new level of versatility and resilience for both e-bikes and non-assisted bicycles. CUES comes with Shimano's new LINKGLIDE drivetrain technology, which significantly extends the lifespan of wear components such as chains, cassettes, and chainrings. The LINKGLIDE technology has been specifically developed for outstanding durability, smooth yet precise shifting performance, and, of course, a great pedaling feel. It's exclusively available on Shimano CUES drivetrains. Treat yourself to an upgrade for your pedals and enjoy your ride. The pedals are two of the five contact points that connect you to your bike.
