Expirience with the Trek Marlin 7 Gen 3

Ludwig Döhl You shouldn't overuse the term, but the Marlin 7 is a classic in the lineup of the Americans. As an affordable hardtail, this Trek has already paved the way for 10,000s of people into MTB sports. When it comes down to handling, Trek does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Trek is ready for the majority of singletrails. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Trek Hardtail. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 15,03 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. With the Racebike von Trek, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the on long tours is better than the competitors in this price range. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Trek is behind its products.
