The Trek Marlin 7 Gen 2 Hardtail Mountain Bike Quick Review - Best in Class

The Trek Marlin 7 Gen 2 is where race-worthy mountain bikes begin. The smooth, lightweight RockShox fork and upgraded parts make this model the best choice for new riders who want a fast cross country hardtail that will hold its own against our higher-end race bikes.

If you live near Ontario CA, come on by and take a test ride.

The Trek Marlin 7 Gen 2 hardtail mountain bike has a light frame with internal shift cable and brake hose cable routing, a smoother-feeling RockShox Judy fork with a lockout, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, and Bontrager wheels. A simple 1x drivetrain ditches the front derailleur for less clutter and easier operation. Don't worry, with the wide-range 11-46 cassette, you still get all the gears you need for clawing up climbs and blazing down descents.

I rented this bike at the trail park and it feels very good riding it.

Your reviews are spot on. I went from a Road Bike to Mountain- Trek Marlin 5. The Marlin series is a good buy and the bikes hold up well. Thanks for sharing.

tbh you want a 1x12 drivetrain pref. 10-51 (52), and a FOX 34 Rythm fork would be optimal for hardtail. Compared to a rockshok silver.

Honestly stepped up to this from a bike I've had for almost 10 years. Honestly I am so confused lol. I love the bike but it is huge and I need me some tips how to fully use it 😭
