Season:FA25

Brand:Trek

Code:5292531-PFBF

Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that is perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail.

This bike features a trail-savvy frame with a suspension fork, 9-speed Shimano CUES shifting, and mounts for a rack and kickstand. It is an ideal choice for trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike. It is right for you if you are new to the trail and looking for a real mountain bike that doubles as a commuter, all at an exceptional value.

The bike includes a lightweight aluminum frame with internal routing to protect cables and add to its sleek look. It has an upgraded 9-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain with a wide range of gearing, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and a terrain-smoothing suspension fork with a lockout. Marlin 5 is a great ride for all your adventures. It is also versatile and a popular ride on college campuses because the rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorize and haul a load.

Features:

  • Marlin Gen 3 gives serious trail capability, with big tire clearance and slack, confidence-boosting geometry that keeps you stable from singletrack to city.
  • Rack and fender mounts make it easy to accessorize, so this 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 pinch.
  • 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.
