Not only is the Trek Marlin one of the most searched bikes on our website, it's also Trek's best selling mountain bike! And for good ...
May 2023 · Andrew McLemore
Riders can expect updated geometry, a new frame, increased tire clearance and a rear axle system that "enhances stability," Trek said.

Can the Marlin compete with the bigger players?
Lots of frame sizes
Excellent tyre choice
Dropper seatpost
Upgrade potential
Roomier seated position would be preferred
Quick-release rather than thru-axle
Rattly internal cable routing

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

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
