Trek Marlin 4 Mountain Bike

The Marlin 4 is the gateway mountain bike that will take you from rail trails to singletrack. It's ideal for riders who want a mountain bike with knobby tyres that can double as a rugged commuter. Disc brakes, front suspension, Shimano 14-speed shifting (21-speed on Alpine Blue and Matte Black) and mounts for a rack and mudguards make this a great bike for trail riders and campus commuters alike.

The tech you get - A lightweight aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look, trustworthy 14-speed Shimano shifting (21-speed on Alpine Blue and Matte Black) with a wide range of gearing so you always have the right gear for your terrain, powerful hydraulic disc brakes and a suspension fork that takes the edge off bumps and rough terrain.
