Trek Marlin 5 Gen 2
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 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 drivetrain for wider range gearing
- Hydraulic disc brakes
Due to supply-chain issues, Specs are subject to change without notice.
Wheel size:
- Size XX-Small: 26-inch
- Sizes X-Small – Small: 27.5-inch
- Sizes Medium – XX-Large: 29-inch
Locked suspension means your fork remains inactive, increasing pedaling efficiency. Perfect for extended road sections where efficiency is more important than bump absorption.
Rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter.
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.
