The 2021 Trek Marlin 7 Men's Hardtail Mountain bike in Marigold to Radioactive Red Fade 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 bike's 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 you're 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.
