Expirience with the Trek Marlin 6 gen 3

Trek Marlin 6 gen 3 Review
Ludwig Döhl
You shouldn't overuse the term, but the Marlin 6 gen 3 is a classic in the lineup of the Americans. As an affordable hardtail, this Trek has already paved the way for 10,000s of people into MTB sports. When it comes down to handling, Trek does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Trek Marlin 6 gen 3 is ready for the majority of singletrails. The seating position is sporty. All in all, in the in light terrain category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Trek sets the bar high!

Geometry

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
