Trek Marlin 8 Gen 3
Marlin 8 is a confidence-boosting trail bike with updated geometry that gives you more control on singletrack without skipping on features for everyday use, like mounts for racks and a kick stand. It’s built for years of progress thanks to 12-speed SRAM shifting, and an upgraded RockShox air spring suspension fork.
Why you’ll love it
- You get real-deal modern mountain bike geometry that keeps handling confident when you’re on singletrack, but it’s versatile enough for use on roads and bike paths, too
- You get a premium RockShox fork with an air spring that’s lighter and more adjustable than a coil
- You get the simplicity and range of 1×12 drivetrain for putting down power on the trail
- The included dropper post lets you get your saddle out of the way when you roll into technical sections and steeper descents.
- Marlin models in sizes XXS and XS have a curved top tube and lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount
