It's right for you if...

You want an introductory mountain bike at an incredible price, but also want a commuter that's rugged enough to hop curbs on the way to class.

The tech you get

A lightweight aluminum frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look, trustworthy 14-speed Shimano shifting with a wide range of gearing so you always have the right gear for your terrain, powerful mechanical disc brakes, and a suspension fork that takes the edge off bumps and rough terrain.

The final word

Marlin is made for any adventure. The rack and fender mounts make it a great choice for commuters who want to get a little rad on the way to class or the grocery store.

Why you'll love it

1. Marlin Gen 2 is ready to roll with easy to use features that help you get the best bang for your buck
2. Rack and fender mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
3. Smaller frame sizes (XS and S) have short-reach brake levers that make it easier and more comfortable for riders with smaller hands to brake confidently
4. Marlin models in XS and S frame sizes have a curved top tube and a lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount
5. Like every model in the Marlin family, it's backed by Trek's lifetime warranty
