Trek Marlin 5 2020 Mountain Bike Review

Rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorise so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter.

Trek marlin 5 2020 mountain bike review.

I recently used it on trails when my fs cannondale was getting service. First up trek proves you can get a cheap cross country mountain bike without compromising quality with the entry level marlin 5. It s one of the best valued models from the marlin series offering multiple improvements compared to the lower priced marlin 4. This bike will take you nearly everywhere from commuting on city streets to hitting a rocky mountain trail.

Marlin models in xs and s frame sizes have a curved top tube and a lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount. Front suspension with 100mm of travel combined with 21 speeds gives you a rugged yet nimble mountain bike. From electric to fat bikes and hybrids trek is an extremely versatile brand combining several different manufacturers. This is not my first bike but i got it for commuting on the road and gravel in town.
