The Trek Marlin+ 8 electric hardtail mountain bike is singletrack-worthy and a fun commuter bike too.
Comfortable commuter and fun bike for light-duty trail riding
Capable, MTB-worthy parts spec
Modern look and feel
Entry-level fork isn’t very responsive
Battery isn’t easily removable
Tires are fast rolling but aren’t ideal for cornering or running lower pressures
