Trek Marlin 5 Trail Bike Quick Expert Review a Bike Shop Owner and Mountain Bike Rider

The Trek Marlin 5 is a trail-worthy daily rider that's perfectly suited for everyday adventures, on and off the trail. A suspension fork, 2x8 drivetrain, 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 live near Ontario CA, come on by and take a test ride.

Why you'll love it

It's a real mountain bike that's also perfectly suited to daily commutes, rides around campus, or just getting from A to B on any surface
Smaller frame sizes (XXS, XS, and S) have short-reach brake levers that make it easier and more comfortable for riders with smaller hands to brake confidently
Marlin models in XXS through S frame sizes have a curved top tube and a lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount
Rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
Like every model in the Marlin family, it's backed by Trek's lifetime warranty

My trek marlin 5 2022 came with radius brakes. I thought they were supposed to have tektro. Should I return it on that premise?
