The Marlin 5 is a versatile and trail-ready bike, perfect for both daily commutes and off-road adventures. With a suspension fork, a 2x8 drivetrain, and convenient mounts for a rack and kickstand, it's ideal for new trail riders or anyone seeking a comfortable, stable ride with the durability of a mountain bike.

Key Features:

• Versatile Use: A real mountain bike that doubles as a daily commuter, suitable for all surfaces.
• Comfort for Smaller Riders: Smaller frame sizes (S) feature short-reach brake levers and a curved top tube with lower standover height, making it easier and more comfortable for riders with smaller hands and shorter legs.
• Customizable: Rack and kickstand mounts allow you to accessorize your bike, making it a rugged and reliable commuter.
• Fit for All: Available in seven frame sizes, with Smart Wheel Size to ensure the fastest fit for every rider.
• High-Tech Design: Features usually found on more expensive bikes, such as internal shift cable and brake hose routing, which help protect the cables and extend their life.
• Lifetime Warranty: Like all models in the Marlin family, the Marlin 5 is backed by Trek's lifetime warranty.

Rear Kickstand Mount

The Marlin 5 features convenient chainstay mounts that allow easy installation of a rear kickstand. This design keeps the kickstand out of your way while providing stable support for bikes of all sizes, eliminating the need to lay or lean your bike.

Suspension Lockout

For those long road sections where pedaling efficiency is key, the suspension lockout feature comes in handy. By locking the suspension, the fork remains inactive, ensuring more energy is directed towards forward motion rather than absorbing bumps.

Rack Mounts

Planning an extended ride? The Marlin 5 is equipped with rack mounts, making it simple to attach and carry accessories, ensuring you're well-prepared for longer journeys.

Blendr Stem

The bike's Bontrager Blendr stem technology allows you to clip your gear directly to the stem, offering a clean look and maximum convenience for mounting devices like lights or computers.

Internal Cable Routing

The Marlin 5 features internal cable routing, where shift and brake cables are neatly routed through the frame. This design not only keeps the bike's appearance clean and streamlined but also protects the cables from the elements, enhancing durability and reducing maintenance. Plus, it gives the bike a sleek, polished look.
