This cheap mountain bike is the perfect gateway drug to your next (trail riding) addiction.
Wide range of gears with 2x9 drivetrain
Wheels and tires aren’t tubeless-ready
Jun 2019 · Alan Muldoon
The first of two 29er to make it into the sub 500 category, the Trek Marlin 6 certainly didn't behave like a fish out of water.
Top-rate frame quality, available in seven sizes Independent Shimano shifters
Cable and chain rattle. Rear tyre is too skinny
Dec 2015 · Guy Kesteven
Violently uncontrolled fork and blunt frame lead a list of reasons that Trek’s Marlin is best kept away from real off roading. Buy if you're a glutton for punishment looking to get into mountain biking
Size-specific wheels, range of paint jobs available
Punishingly stiff frame and handlebars, undamped fork, some poor finishing kit
