About the Trek Marlin 5
Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. A suspension fork, 2x8 drivetrain, and mounts for a rack and kickstand make it an ideal choice for new trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike.
A lightweight aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look, 2x8 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.
Key Features
- Internal Cable Routing: Shift and brake cables routed through the frame to keep things clean and simple.
- Blendr Stem: Clip your gear directly to the stem for a clean look and maximum user friendliness.
- Rear Kickstand Mount: Chainstay mounts make it easy to install a rear kickstand that stays out of your way and supports bikes of all sizes.
- Rack Mounts: Easy to accessorise, so your bike can double as a commuter.
- Suspension Lockout: Locked suspension means your fork remains inactive, increasing pedalling efficieny.
