The Trek Marlin+ is an electric mountain bike that's ready to up your game on the trail. It has a new-for-2024 Bosch Active Line Plus motor producing 50Nm of torque and powered by a 400Wh battery fixed into the downtube, which is good for an estimated two to four hours of assist. While that might be less than beefier e-bikes like the 85Nm on Trek Rail, it’s plenty for assisting you up steep, lengthy climbs and feels more powerful than that. The new Shimano CUES gears - tailor-made for e-bikes - have also impressed on our first ride out.

I love the 29er wheels and Charlie Chihuahua rear rack option on the Marlin + 6. During my bilateral knee replacement recovery I bought a FX Sport 4 so I can mount a pizza rack and again perfect to take Charlie Chauhauha with me on the paths and bitumen roads.

He says the battery can come out if you release a few bolts

[@craigcraigster5605]

I just ordered after test riding the bike. Lighter than the powerfly and seems more efficient as well

[@BigBearBikes]

Tappered head tube?

[@BigBearBikes]

Hi, Non-taper is a straight steerer tube (the thing that connects the bike frame to the forks. Tapered will start at 1.5" at the bottom and 1-1/8" at the top usually. The taper gives much more rigidity for a minimal weight increase. That's why you see them mostly on mountain bikes whihc need more strength in this part of the frame. Hope this helps? Thanks BBB

will there be a roscoe electric at all?

[@BigBearBikes]

Probably! Just watch this space.... Thanks BBB 👍

[@Knelson123]

Didn't even make 30 miles on a charge using auto mode only. Glad I rented first.

[@vegasvampire66648]

That's actually good.

[@Knelson123]

@@vegasvampire66648 Unfortunately it just is not enough range for my style of riding. That only lasted about 2 hours. I've purchased a 625w bike instead and should be able to get much more. Keep in mind if you do moderate trail riding with this bike don't expect to go much more than a couple hours.

Many thanks for the comment & feedback. BBB 👍
