Details

Marlin 7 is your best friend on the trail and wherever else you roll thanks to its confidence-boosting trail geometry. It finds the perfect balance between price and performance with an upgraded RockShox suspension fork that makes quick work of rocks and bumps in your path, and precise Shimano Deore shifting.

It's right for you if...
You want a go-anywhere trail bike that's got upgrades where it matters most, but won't break the bank. You want to build skills on the trail, and need a bike with confidence-inspiring geometry.

The tech you get
A lightweight aluminum frame with modern trail riding geometry and internal routing that keeps cables protected and keep the bike looking sleek. An upgraded RockShox suspension fork that smooths out rowdy trails, 10-speed fuss-free Shimano Deore shifting, and the serious stopping power of hydraulic disc brakes.

The final word
Marlin 7 is the go-to trail bike for those wanting to build skills on the singletrack and get the right bang for the buck with upgraded suspension and confidence-inspiring geometry.

Why you'll love it
- You get real-deal modern mountain bike geometry that keeps handling confident when you're on singletrack, but it's versatile enough for use on roads and bike paths, too
- Its upgraded RockShox fork gives you 100mm of suspension for turning rocks and roots in the trail into smooth-sailing
- Rack and fender mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
- Internal routing makes it easy to add a dropper post that lets you lower you saddle on the fly for more confident descending
- Marlin models in sizes XXS and XS have a curved top tube and lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount

Features:

Expanded size range
With 8 different sizes, Marlin has a bike made to fit every rider. Each frame is equipped with smart wheel sizing, with XXS frames rolling on 26" wheels, and wheel sizes increasing proportionally along with frame sizes, so every rider gets the fit they need.

Trail-ready, Upgrade-ready
The secret to Marlin's popularity is a real trail-savvy mountain bike frame that's upgrade compatible, so it can grow with you as you take on bigger trails and tougher features.

Roll stronger with Thru Skew
Goodbye open dropouts. The Thru Skewer is a better, stronger, more precisely aligned rear wheel retention system that keeps your wheel more secure than quick-release skewers while still using the standard 135mm rear hub spacing.
