The Trek Marlin 7 sits second from the top of this popular range of hardtail mountain bikes. With suspension, transmission and disc brake upgrades over the Marlin 6, this model – or the new Marlin 8 – is a sound choice if your riding is taking you into more testing terrain. Durability of the components, as well as performance, is increased, making a noticeable difference for the 4 season rider.

Looking to tackle the trails at Haldon Forest? This bike is a great starting point.

Built with Trek’s Silver Series aluminium, the frame has a premium feel and is available in a wide range of sizes, giving an excellent fit resulting in improved control on the trail. Internal cable/hose routing is a neat and well executed touch, giving the Marlin 7 a contemporary look.

KEY FEATURES:

The RockShox suspension gives a noticeable performance upgrade – smoother and with better control.

The 1x (single chainring) drivetrain gives you all the gears you need, and none you don’t.

The Marlin 7 is performance focused but you still get plenty of versatility too – the standard luggage rack mounts and kickstand make it ideal for commuting or light touring too.

The Marlin models in XS to S frame sizes have a curved top tube and a lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount.

Lifetime frame warranty.
