Style | Marlin takes its cue from light, fast XC bikes. The right wheel size for each frame size, performance pedigree and an unbeatable ride feel make Marlin the perfect trail rider. Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. A suspension fork with lockout, 2x8 Shimano Altus gearing, 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. Even better - Marlin 5 now comes in a new XXS size with 26" wheels and appropriately sized parts to give the smallest riders the best control on the trail. Highlights: - XC light, mountain tough: Alpha Silver Aluminium frame is race light, mountain strong, and ride tuned for peak performance. The new frame features sleek tube shapes and clean internal routing for all cables and hoses including both derailleurs and rear brake. - Trail Ready: not all bikes with knobby tyres are ready to handle the real world of off-road riding. Trek's Trail Ready certification indicates the frame has passed Trek's strict testing for durability and impact standards, and is ready to handle the rigours of real off-road riding. - Versatile: built in mounts make it easy to add a rack and mudguards if you want to. - Lifetime warranty: built to last, the Marlin is backed by Trek's limited lifetime warranty. - Shifting is handled by Shimano's reliable 2x8 speed Altus gearing. - Powerful Tektro hydraulic disc brakes give excellent control and feel. - Terrain-smoothing SR Suntour forks with lockout function for more efficient climbing and road riding. - The right fit: available in a wide range of eight frame sizes, ranging from XXS to XXL, there's a Marlin for anyone, at any height. This is the widest size range in the industry. Smart Wheel Size ensures every rider gets the fastest wheel that fits. Extra small and small frames have 27.5" wheels, short-reach brake levers and narrower handlebars that make it easier for riders with smaller hands to stay in control. XXS frames also have the right sized controls matched with 26" wheels. Medium and above frame sizes have 29" (29er) wheels. The 29ers gain from Trek's vast experience with bigger wheel sizes, and feature advanced frame geometry and a custom offset fork to give you brilliant handling: precise at low speed without compromising high-speed stability. The right wheel size paired with your frame size gives you the perfect combination of responsiveness and control. Everyone wins. So go on, find a trail and enjoy! Upgrades from Marlin 4: - SR Suntour XCT 30 fork (XXS: XCM 30) with lock-out - Shimano Altus 2x8 gearing - Tektro hydraulic disc brakes more more power and feel - Formula DC-22 cassette rear hub Next model up: Marlin 6 Gen 3 Sizing Guide N.B.
