Trek Marlin 8 Gen 2 2022

£0.00

The Marlin 8 is a race-worthy mountain bike that wont break the bank. The smooth, lightweight RockShox fork, tubeless-ready wheels and wide-range 1x drive train make this model the best choice for new riders who want a fast cross-country hardtail that will hold its own against our higher-end race bikes.

It's right for you if...

You want a race-ready mountain bike with upgrades on the parts that make a big difference in performance, like a lighter, higher-quality suspension fork, wide-range 1x drivetrain and tubeless-ready wheels.

The tech you get

A light frame with internal cable routing, a smoother-feeling RockShox Judy Silver fork with a Solo Air spring and TurnKey hydraulic lockout, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, tubeless-ready Bontrager Kovee wheels and a simple 1x12 drivetrain that ditches the front derailleur for less clutter and easier operation. The wide-range 11-50 cassette gives you all the gears you need for clawing up climbs and blazing down descents.

The final word

The tubeless-ready wheels, RockShox suspension, wide range of gearing and quality parts make it an outstanding choice for new mountain bikers who know they want a serious bike for their money. Its fully capable of taking on big trail adventures and XC races.

Why you'll love it

  1. This is one of our most popular bikes for good reason. You get all the value, plus all the versatility “ it's a totally race-worthy mountain bike, with rear rack mounts if you use it for commuting too
  2. The RockShox fork's Solo Air spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it's lighter than a coil spring
  3. Setting your wheels up tubeless reduces the overall weight of your bike and the chances that youll get a flat
  4. The 1x drivetrain gives you all the gears you need and none you dont
  5. The Marlin models in XXS to S frame sizes have a curved top tube and a lower standover height that makes it easier for smaller riders to mount and dismount

Hi, I'm looking at the Marlin 8, if we order online do you deliver the bike fully assembled? Thanks Kevin

Store Staff

Morning Kevin

Thank you for getting in touch

All of our mail order bikes are first fully built and safety checked in workshop in the same manner as if they were being collected in store to ride away. So gears, brakes etc are all set up correctly.

We then minimally flat pack the bike for shipping.

This usually consists of the pedals being removed, the front wheel being removed and the handlebars removed.

Of course all of which will need refitting at your end.


Best


Rick
