Trek Marlin 6 Mountain Bike 2021

The Trek Marlin 6 Mountain Bike is a joy to ride. The aluminium frame is paired to a 100mm travel R Suntour XCT 30 fork giving you plenty of bump-smoothing suspension for the rougher stuff, with a lockout for when you're on the tarmac or smoother trails. It's not only highly capable out on the trails but add a rack and kickstand to the integrated mounts and it can be transformed into a great commuter too.

Shimano Altus components make up the drivetrain, offering a wide range of gears in a 2x configuration, plenty for hills and descents alike, while the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes offer modulated power so you can stop fast in wet and dry conditions. Cables are all routed internally, keeping them well protected from the elements. A key feature of this bike is that the tube shapes differ depending on the size of the frame. The XS and S have a curved top tube and therefore a lower standover height, making mounting and dismounting easier if you're a smaller rider. The Bontrager wheels are also sized in the same way; 27.5" on the smaller bikes and 29" on the larger ones, ensuring confident handling across the range.
