    Summary

    Expirience with the Trek Marlin 8 gen 3

    Trek Marlin 8 gen 3 Review You shouldn't overuse the term, but the Marlin 8 gen 3 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. With its geometry, the Marlin 8 gen 3 is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 14,29 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Marlin 8 gen 3 to in light terrain a buying recommendation in the price range 1329 Euro range. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
