Trek Marlin+ 8 Hardtail Electric Bike 2026

Marlin+ 8 is an electric mountain bike that's ready to up your game on the trail. Its Bosch Active Line Plus motor gives you just the boost you need for getting up steep climbs and riding farther, and doesn't break the bank, and a 120mm suspension fork keeps handling smooth through the rough stuff. Upgraded components, like wide tubeless-ready wheels and tires and a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain make this a trail-savvy ride that's ready to go anywhere.
