It does well on the road but i am not comfortable on the trails.
Trek marlin 5 2021 mountain bike review.
It s built in trek s mtb heritage so you get a great ride for all your adventures.
Saddle front brake rub frequent chainsuck recommendation.
Reviews look fast feel fast go fast unlike some bikes on the cheap end of the spectrum that cater to the recreational user this one is aimed firmly at entry level riders who want a bike that s affordable yet capable of riding and racing hard.
That means this bike will perform well in most conditions including climbing descending and cornering.
I recently used it on trails when my fs cannondale was getting service.
The trek marlin 5 s an excellent little all rounder that provides fun for beginners children and everyday thrill seekers looking for everday adventures on a great bike.
2018 trek marlin 5 pros.
It is characterized by a versatile head tube angle of 69 5 degrees which is a good compromise between steep and slack geometry.
This is not my first bike but i got it for commuting on the road and gravel in town.
