Description
Marlin 5 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, 9-speed Shimano CUES 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.
It’s right for you if…
You’re new to the trail and you’re looking for a real mountain bike that doubles as a commuter – and you want it all at an exceptional value.
The tech you get
A lightweight aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike’s sleek look, an upgraded 9-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain, a wide range of gearing so you always have the right gear for your terrain, powerful hydraulic disc brakes and a terrain-smoothing suspension fork with a lockout.
The final word
The Marlin 5 is a great ride for all your adventures. It’s also versatile and a popular ride on college campuses because the rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorise and haul a load.
Why you’ll love it
- The Marlin Gen 3 gives you serious trail capability, with big tyre clearance and slack, confidence-boosting geometry that keeps you stable from singletrack to city
- Mudguard mounts make it easy to accessorise, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
- Its ThruSkew system is safer, simpler and stronger, plus it makes removing the rear wheel easy for flat fixes in a hurry
- Internal routing makes it easy to add a dropper post that lets you lower your saddle on the fly for more confident descending
- Marlin models in sizes XXS and XS have a curved top tube and lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount
Why we won’t ship unbuilt Trek bikes
Due to warranty regulations, Trek bikes must be assembled by a qualified bike mechanic in an approved store. This is an international policy for Trek bikes. Therefore, any Trek Bicycle purchased online must be picked up from Velo Ronny’s or contact us for further options.
