Marlin Hardtail Mountain Bike Series

Marlin is a trail-tough mountain bike, created by Trek’s Alpha Aluminum that’s ready for any all-terrain adventure, whether you’re exploring the forest on singletrack or navigating the urban jungle. It’s durable, versatile, easy to accessorize. And just as much at home on potholed city streets as on the dirt. Marlin’s stylish frame has internal cable routing, which can help your cables last longer by protecting them from the elements. Plus, it’s easy to outfit Marlin for any adventure with the integrated rack and kickstand mounts. Marlin comes in seven frame sizes to suit riders of any height. And Smart Wheel Size ensures you’re on the fastest wheel that fits.

The smallest sizes even come with short-reach brake levers and narrower handlebars that give smaller riders better comfort and control. Marlin is built on a race-inspired frame with high-value components and loads of features you’d typically find only on pricier mountain bikes. Plus, it’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty and the world’s best retailer support network. Add it all up, and you get a fun, common-sense entry into the wild world of singletrack on a bike you won’t out-pace as your skills advance and your rides get faster and longer.

Marlin looks and feels great. It’s packed with features usually found only on more expensive bikes, like a stylish frame with internal cable routing, which can help your cables last longer by protecting them from the elements.
