Expirience with the Trek Marlin 7 Gen 3

Ludwig Döhl As a in light terrain, the Racebike von Trek ticks all the boxes. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. When entering the saddle, the Racebike von Trek conveys a balanced seating position. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the Trek Marlin 7 a real mountain goat in the Racebikes. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame! Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Trek Hardtail sizing runs small.
