Like many parts on your vehicle, brake pads and rotors are consumable wear items that require periodic replacement. Replacing these items yourself can save you money and help build confidence as a DIY mechanic.

Trek is getting a head start on the competition with the latest version of its Marlin+ electric mountain bike, becoming the first North American bicycle manufacturer to feature Bosch’s newly upgraded Active Line Plus motor. The updated drive system brings more power, less weight, and a smaller footprint to Trek’s approachable electric mountain bike platform, helping make the Marlin+ 6 Gen 2 an even more compelling option for riders who want a capable e-bike without necessarily stepping up to a full-blown, high-performance electric mountain bike. The Trek Marlin+ has traditionally occupied an interesting Goldilocks position in the company’s electric mountain…
