Trek Marlin 5 Gen 3 Bike - 2025

Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. It features a trail-savvy frame with a suspension fork, 9-speed Shimano CUES shifting, and mounts for a rack and kickstand that make it an ideal choice for trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike.

Features

  • Its ThruSkew system is safer, simpler, and stronger, plus it makes removing the rear wheel easy for flat fixes in a pinch
  • Internal routing makes it easy to add a dropper post that lets you lower your saddle on the fly for more confident descending

Senior bike rider

I am very happy with this bike. I am a 70 year old rider that rides a combination of bike paths and trails. Tires are excellent, shifting is flawless, love the brakes. Purchased this bike from my local bike shop that specializes in Trek bikes. They have lifetime free adjustments and expert maintenance.
