    Expirience with the Trek Marlin 6

    Trek Marlin 6 Review Aabove all, the Trek Racebike just feels great. With 14,1 kg, the Trek Racebike counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. With its balanced handling, riding the Trek Marlin 6 feels really intuitive. The seating position of the on long tours moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 724 Euro . Trek gives 25 years warranty on the bike. Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs small.
