It's built in Trek's trail heritage, but also equipped with features like mounts for a rack and a kickstand, which makes it a great choice for daily commuters.
It's right for you if...
You're testing the waters of off-road riding and want a real mountain bike at great value, with a wide range of gears to cover more ground on the road and trail.
The tech you get
The heart of Marlin 6 is a lightweight Alpha Silver Aluminium frame with internal routing to protect your cables and add to the bike's sleek look. It has an efficient 2x8 drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes that feel smoother than mechanical disc brakes, and a suspension fork with 100mm of travel plus a lockout feature that lets you temporarily lock the suspension for better efficiency while climbing.
The final word
The Marlin 6 has performance features like suspension lockout, stronger double-walled rims and hydraulic disc brakes. It's also equipped with rack and kickstand mounts and a wide range of gears. These design details make it a great choice if your mountain bike doubles as your commuter.
