The 2020 Trek Marlin 5 Women's is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. A front suspension fork, a frame and parts designed specifically for women, 21 speeds and mounts for a rack and kickstand make it an ideal choice for new trail riders or anyone looking for a comfortable, stable commuter with the ruggedness of a real mountain bike. If you're new to the trail and want a serious mountain bike that doubles as a commuter, and you want it all at exceptional value then the Marlin 5 Women's is for you. Featuring a light-weight Alpha Silver Aluminium frame with a sloping top tube on smaller sizes for better standover height and more confidence on the trail, touchpoints - like the saddle, bars and grips - that provide a better fit for women from the start, 21 speeds, a wide range of gearing so you never need to pedal too hard or gently on terrain that varies in elevation, hydraulic disc brakes that feel smoother than mechanical disc brakes and a suspension fork. The Trek Marlin is built in Trek's MTB heritage, and more than capable of taking on trail adventures. But it's also versatile, equipped with rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorise and carry a load.
