Marlin Frame Set - Trek Bikes (GB)

Overview

You’re looking for a versatile, wallet-friendly frame set that you can build up exactly the way you want. You'll fly through singletrack, tackle rugged, all-terrain commutes or both, depending on how you spec it.

A lightweight and sturdy Alpha Silver Aluminium frame, internal shift cable and brake hose routing to protect cables from the elements, mounts for a rear rack and kickstand, and a headset. Designed with Smart Wheel Sizing: smaller frames fit 27.5˝ wheels and larger frames fit 29˝ wheels.

It's a light and capable frame set at great value. You can spec it as a solid cross country mountain bike without breaking the bank, or build up a rugged commuter that easily handles potholes and rough roads.

All the value, plus all the versatility – it's a totally race-worthy mountain bike, with rear rack mounts if you use it for commuting too
It's really fun to ride, and feels like a much more expensive mountain bike
Internal cable routing extends the life of your cables and adds to the bike's sleek look
Like every Trek, it's backed by a lifetime warranty

"Unlike some bikes on the cheap end of the spectrum that cater to the recreational user, this one is aimed firmly at entry-level riders who want a bike that's affordable yet capable of riding and racing hard."

Features

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

Going for a long ride? Rack mounts make carrying accessories a breeze.

Chainstay mounts make it easy to install a rear kickstand that stays out of your way and supports bikes of all sizes. No more laying or leaning.
