Description
Features
It’s a real mountain bike that’s also perfectly suited to daily commutes, rides around campus, or just getting from A to B on any surface
Smaller frame sizes (13.5˝ and 15.5˝) have short-reach brake levers that make it easier and more comfortable for riders with smaller hands to brake confidently
It has separate brake and shift levers (a feature that’s common on more expensive mountain bikes) so you can fine-tune the positioning for comfort
Rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorize, so your mountain bike can double as a rugged commuter
Like every model in the Marlin family, it’s backed by Trek’s lifetime warranty
