TREK Marlin 8 Gen 3 Crimson

It's right for you if...

You want a bike that's ready to progress with you on the trail, and is versatile enough for daily riding to school, work and grocery shopping.

The tech you get

A lightweight aluminium frame with modern trail riding geometry and internal routing that keeps cables protected and keeps the bike looking sleek. An air-spring RockShox fork that's lighter and more adjustable than a coil spring, wide-range SRAM shifting and the serious stopping power of hydraulic disc brakes.

Why you'll love it 

1. You get real-deal modern mountain bike geometry that keeps handling confident when you're on singletrack, but is versatile enough for use on roads and bike trails too 
2. You get a premium RockShox fork with an air spring that's lighter and more adjustable than a coil 
3. You get the simplicity and range of 1x12 drivetrain for putting down power on the trail 
4. The included dropper post lets you get your saddle out of the way when you roll into technical sections and steeper descents. 
5. 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
