Trek Marlin 5 Hardtail Mountain Bike 2023 in Azure Blue

Season:2023

Brand:Trek

Code:345872022Azure

The Trek Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. An upgraded suspension fork (compared to the Trek Marlin 4), 16 speeds and mounts for a rack and kickstand make it an ideal choice for new trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike.
The Marlin 5 features a lightweight aluminium frame with internal shift cable and brake hose routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look and a suspension fork that takes the edge off bumps and rough terrain. The smaller frame sizes (XXS, XS and S) have short-reach brake levers that make it easier and more comfortable for riders with smaller hands to brake confidently and a curved top tube and a lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount, so you get a bike perfectly moulded to your size.

This versatile hardtail delivers a great ride for all your adventures, but also doubles perfectly as a commuter bike so you can get the best of both worlds!

Key Features & Benefits:

  • SR Suntour suspension fork: Upgraded over the Marlin 4.
  • Hydraulic disc brakes: For reliable stopping in all conditions.

    Question asked by Ayaan on 27/02/2022 11:30:16
    I can confirm that pedals are included with this bike purchase (VP-536 platform pedals). All bikes are delivered fully assembled apart from the need to fit the pedals(if included in the bicycle specifications) and align the handlebars. Please pay close attention to the instructions included for fitting the pedals. A MultiTool and Pedal Spanner are supplied. Thread in the pedals by hand first and then use a pedal spanner to tighten. Note not all bikes are supplied with pedals so you can choose which type suits your requirements and order appropriately

  • Can you do stunts and tricks on this bike?
    Question asked by Jake on 28/09/2022 07:42:00
    This bike is NOT designed for stunts and tricks. It is a mountain bike that is suited to riding out on the trail, used on the daily commute, rides around the campus or simply getting from A to B on any surface.

    You might want to consider a jump bike if you want to get into tricks and jumps. Jump bikes have evolved as a half-way between mountain bikes and BMX bikes. As the name suggest, jump bikes are typically used fordirt jumping and park jumping, as well as street & urban stunt riding. Take a look at offereings from DMR and Kona for suitable bikes, specifically 'jump bikes'.
