The Marlin is Trek's hardtail mountain bike for getting started and progressing. All four versions share the Alpha Silver aluminium frame; what changes is the drivetrain, fork, wheels and brakes.
| Version | Drivetrain | Fork | Wheels | Brakes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marlin 4 | Shimano ESSA, 8-speed | Suntour XCE 28 | Connection | Tektro or Power |
| Marlin 5 | Shimano CUES, 9-speed | Suntour XCT 30 | Connection | Shimano MT200 |
| Marlin 6 | Shimano CUES, 10-speed | RockShox Judy | Kovee TLR | Shimano MT200 |
| Marlin 7 | SRAM Eagle, 12-speed | RockShox Judy Silver, air | Kovee TLR | Shimano MT200 |
Which one to choose
Marlin 4 or 5 if you'll ride tracks and gravel roads. Marlin 6 if you want to start on singletrack: it gains a RockShox fork and tubeless-ready rims. Marlin 7 if you already ride often: the air fork adjusts to your weight and the 12 gears give more range for climbing.
Looking for electric assistance? The Marlin+ 8 has a Bosch Active Line Plus motor and a 400 Wh battery.
