Details

Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail.

It's also versatile because the rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorize and haul a load. Perfect for students or those with rugged commutes.

The Marlin 5 features a terrain smoothing 100mm suspension fork with lockout for pavement or hard surfaces where speed is welcomed. A Shimano Altus 2x8-speed drivetrain gives you a wide range of gearing so you always have the right gear for your terrain and powerful hydraulic disc brakes that work well in any weather.

What you get over Marlin 4:

- Suspension fork with lockout
- Shimano Altus 2x8-speed drivetrain for wider range gearing
- Hydraulic disc brakes

Rack and fender mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter.

Geometry

Sizing

Will my bike have a curved top tube?

Will my bike have a curved top tube?

Smaller frames (XXS-S) have a top tube that dips down as it approaches the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily. The larger frames (M and up) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height.
