Marlin 4 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly
suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. It features a trail-savvy
frame with a suspension fork, 8-speed Shimano ESSA shifting and mounts for a
rack and kickstand that make it an ideal choice for trail riders or anyone
looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real
mountain bike.
Will my bike have a
curved top tube? Smaller frames have a top tube that dips down as it approaches
the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good
for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily.
Larger frame sizes have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer
legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height.
Fit for every rider: Marlin comes in seven frame
sizes to suit riders of any height, and Smart Wheel Size ensures you’re on the
fastest wheel that fits. The smallest sizes even come with short-reach brake
levers and narrower handlebars that give smaller riders better comfort and
control.
High tech, high value: Marlin looks and feels great.
It’s packed with features usually found only on more expensive bikes, like a
stylish frame with internal shift cable and brake hose routing, which can help
your cables last longer by protecting them from the elements.
Shimano CUES: Inspired by rider demand for
trouble-free drivetrain longevity and performance, Shimano CUES offers a new
foundation for versatility and durability across a range of both electric and
standard bikes. CUES features Shimano’s new LINKGLIDE drivetrain technology for
significantly increased life on wear items like chain, cassette and chainrings.
A better way to produce aluminium: Starting in 2024, we began removing
high-emission aluminium from our manufacturing and replacing it with
low-emission aluminium made with renewable energy. By October 2025, nearly
every alloy bike we make – this one included – had made the switch, driving a
major drop in our footprint.
Shimano LINKGLIDE: LINKGLIDE technology has been
specifically engineered for incredible durability while still delivering smooth
and decisive shifting – along with a great pedalling experience. Available
exclusively on Shimano CUES drivetrains.
Upgrade your pedals and love your bike more: Pedals
are two of the five touchpoints that connect you with your bike, and even
though this bike comes with a pair, upgrading to pedals that boost control and
grip will greatly improve your ride. See the pedal guide and find the best
pedals for your riding style. We recommend flat pedals for simple versatility.
