why you will love it

The smaller frame sizes (XXS, XS and S) have short brake levers better suited to riders with small hands so they can brake with confidence.
Marlin models in frame sizes XXS through S feature a curved top tube and lower inseam height, allowing smaller riders to get on and off the bike more easily.
Rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to fit accessories, so your mountain bike can also double as a tough commuter bike.
