Trek Marlin+ 6 Gen 2: $2,999, and the Shelf Still Says 50 Nm
Electrek, 29 October 2026, says the Marlin+ 6 Gen 2 is the first North American bike on Bosch's new Active Line Plus, at $2,999, 60 Nm, 600 watts, Class 1, assist to 20 mph. The Trek family page this desk opened the same week still starts at $2,499.99 and prints 50 Nm and a 400 Wh pack. Two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine minus $2,499.99 is $499.01. The 600-watt peak did not move. A 720 Wh battery and a 115-mile claim in that Electrek piece are a Bosch touring sentence. Electrek says Trek has not confirmed that pack on this bike.

A 29er and a 700c share a 622-millimeter bead and are not the same tire. Four inches is about 102 millimeters. Pressure is the range printed on that casing. Schwalbe’s E-50 mark is a European approval for machines up to 50 km/h, not a US class sticker.

Torque Sensor vs Cadence Sensor
A cadence sensor sees that the pedals are turning. A torque sensor sees how hard you push. That difference is the ride, the hill, and the pack. It is not the watt number.
