The 2021 Trek Marlin 7 Womens hardtail mountain bike in Nautical Navy/ Miami Green is where race-worthy mountain bikes begin. The Marlin 7 takes the great value Marlin frame & adds a smooth, lightweight Rock Shox fork & upgraded parts to make an exceptional cross country hardtail that will hold its own against higher-end race bikes. All of the Trek Marlin bikes are built around a lightweight Alpha Silver Aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables & add to the bikes sleek look. The frame is set up for off-road riding but also comes with all the mounts you need for pannier racks & kickstands so it can double-up as a hardened commuter. The Marlin comes in seven frame sizes to suit riders of any height, & Smart Wheel Size ensures youre on the fastest wheel that fits. The smallest sizes come with 27.5" rather than 29" wheels & even come with short-reach brake levers & narrower handlebars that give smaller riders better comfort & control. Marlin Womens models in XS & S frame sizes have a curved top tube & a lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount & dismount. The larger frames (M & ML) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically dont have the same issues with standover height. The Marlin 7 is the flagship model of the Marlin line-up & has a high-quality Rock Shox fork with a lockout & 100 mm of travel, a 2x 9 drivetrain, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes & a low-profile Shimano Shadow rear derailleur thats designed to avoid snagging on trail debris. What makes this a womens specific model? It has the same spec as the mens except the max size is either a Large (L) or a Medium/ Large (M/L) also included is a womens specific saddle. This bike is perfect for Riders who are new to mountain biking & want a serious single-track ready bike with race-ready parts for superior performance so you can take on off-road marathon rides & XC races as well as bossing your commute.
