It features a trail-savvy frame with a suspension fork, 9-speed Shimano CUES shifting and mounts for a rack and kickstand that make it an ideal choice for trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike. Loved the world over, the Marlin has long held the hearts of new riders and seasoned rippers alike, and to keep everyone rolling with ear-to-ear grins we've revamped it with more trail confidence than ever. Whether zipping through town, dipping your toes into the trail for the first time or slicing through switchbacks as a well-seasoned rider, you'll appreciate the sleek new frame that ups the capability and brings looks to match. There's a reason why it's always been your favourite. It's right for you if... Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. It features a trail-savvy frame with a suspension fork, 9-speed Shimano CUES shifting and mounts for a rack and kickstand that make it an ideal choice for trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike. The tech you get A lightweight aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look, an upgraded 9-speed Shimano CUES 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. Highlights: - Marlin Gen 3 gives you serious trail capability, with big tyre clearance and slack, confidence-boosting geometry that keeps you stable from singletrack to city - Rack and mudguard mounts make it easy to accessorise, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter - Its ThruSkew system is safer, simpler and stronger, plus it makes removing the rear wheel easy for flat fixes in a hurry - Internal routing makes it easy to add a dropper post that lets you lower your saddle on the fly for more confident descending - Wide-range 1x9 drivetrain ditches the front derailleur for less clutter and easier operation - Shimano CUES: inspired by rider demand for trouble-free drivetrain longevity and performance, Shimano CUES offers a new foundation for versatility and durability across a range of both electric and standard bikes. CUES features Shimano's new LINKGLIDE drivetrain technology for significantly increased life on wear items like chain, cassette and chainrings. - LINKGLIDE technology has been specifically engineered for incredible durability while still delivering smooth and decisive shifting - along with a great pedalling experience. - 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 frame sizes 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 have the right sized controls matched with 26" wheels. Sizes XXS and XS have a curved top tube and lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount.  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. Upgrades from Marlin 4: - Uprated frame with bigger tyre clearance and slacker, confidence-boosting modern trail geometry - Wider 2.4" tyres for more grip, stability and comfort - SR Suntour XCT 30 fork has stronger, wider leg construction for higher performance, and a lock-out function for more efficiency on climbs and smoother roads - Wide-range 1x9 drivetrain ditches the front derailleur for less clutter and easier operation - Shimano CUES with LINKGLIDE provides smooth shifting and extra durability - Tektro hydraulic disc brakes for more stopping power and control - Secure Thru-Skew rear axle - Full-coverage chainstay protection Next model up: Marlin 6 Gen 3 |
