Marlin 6 is a quality introductory cross-country mountain bike with front suspension and an upgraded 2x8 drivetrain that's light, simple and easy to use. It's built in Trek's trail heritage, but also equipped with features like mounts for a rack and a kickstand, which makes it a great choice for daily commuters.

It's right for you if...

You're testing the waters of off-road riding and want a real mountain bike at great value, with a wide range of gears to cover more ground on the road and trail.

The tech you get

The heart of Marlin 6 is a lightweight Alpha Silver Aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look. It has an efficient 2x8 drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes that feel smoother than mechanical disc brakes, and a suspension fork with 100mm of travel plus a lockout feature that lets you temporarily lock the suspension for better efficiency while climbing.

The final word

The Marlin 6 has performance features like suspension lockout, stronger double-walled rims and hydraulic disc brakes. It's also equipped with rack and kickstand mounts and a wide range of gears. These design details make it a great choice if your mountain bike doubles as your commuter.

Why you'll love it

  • The 2x drivetrain gives you all the gears you need and none you don’t
  • Smaller frame sizes (XS and S) have short-reach brake levers that make it easier and more comfortable for riders with smaller hands to brake confidently
  • It has separate brake and gear levers (a feature that's common on more expensive mountain bikes) so you can fine-tune the positioning for comfort
  • Rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorise, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
  • Like every Trek, it's backed by a lifetime warranty
