It's right for you if...
You're new to the trail and you’re looking for a real mountain bike that doubles as a commuter – and you want it all at an exceptional value.
The tech you get
A lightweight aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look, an upgraded 9-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain, a wide range of gearing so you always have the right gear for your terrain, powerful hydraulic disc brakes and a terrain-smoothing suspension fork with a lockout.
Versatility
The Marlin 5 is a great ride for all your adventures. It's also versatile and a popular ride on college campuses because the rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorise and haul a load.
Why you'll love it:
The Marlin Gen 3 gives you serious trail capability, with big tyre clearance and slack, confidence-boosting geometry that keeps you stable from singletrack to city
Rack and mudguard mounts make it easy to accessorise, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
Its ThruSkew system is safer, simpler and stronger, plus it makes removing the rear wheel easy for flat fixes in a hurry
Internal routing makes it easy to add a dropper post that lets you lower your saddle on the fly for more confident descending
