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 ...
Apr 2024 · James Huang
Trek’s entry-level aluminum hardtail mountain bike.
Fantastic frame geometry
Excellent shifting
Good tires
Looks great
Generous tire clearance
Easy-to-live-with semi-internal routing
Sort of a rear thru-axle.
Mega-heavy fork with minimal adjustability
Tubeless costs extra
Limited upgrade potential.
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.
Feb 2023 · Oscar Huckle
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
