Troubleshooting

Motor not providing assistance

Ensure the battery is charged and properly seated. Check that the system is turned on and a mode is selected on the Purion display. Verify all speed sensors are clean and properly aligned.

Display not turning on

Inspect the derailleur hanger for bends. Check the shift cable tension and housing. Lubricate the chain and derailleur pivots. Adjustments may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: Upon receiving your Marlin+ 8, it's recommended to have it assembled and inspected by a qualified bicycle mechanic. This ensures all components are correctly installed and adjusted, including brakes, gears, and suspension. Familiarize yourself with the Bosch Purion 200 display and its controls.

Compatibility: The bike uses standard bicycle components, but specific electric system parts (motor, battery, display) are Bosch-specific. The frame features Boost148 spacing and a tapered head tube. It is compatible with various accessories, including racks, mudguards, and kickstands, thanks to its numerous mounting points. Wheel sizes vary by frame size: XS and S models use 27.5-inch wheels, while M, L, and XL models use 29-inch wheels.

Care:

Cleaning: Clean the bike regularly using mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers, especially near the motor and battery. Use a damp cloth for the display and controls.
Battery Care: Store the Bosch battery in a dry place at room temperature when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures. Follow Bosch's guidelines for optimal charging and storage.
Drivetrain Maintenance: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Regularly inspect the drivetrain for wear and adjust as needed.
Brake Care: Check brake pad wear and rotor condition periodically. Ensure hydraulic brakes are functioning correctly.
Suspension: Follow RockShox's recommended maintenance schedule for the Recon Silver RL fork.
