Prueba Trek Marlin 8, ¿la nueva superventas de Trek?

Prueba Trek Marlin 8, ¿la nueva superventas de Trek?

Javier Ruiz

Hace unos meses Trek presentaba la nueva generación Marlin, su rígida de XC de aluminio que ahora adopta una geometría más agresiva, compatibilidad con neumáticos de gran anchura y la inclusión de tija telescópica en el montaje de serie. Todo para ser una alternativa más económica a la nueva hornada de rígidas de carbono. ¿Podrá así convertirse en la nueva superventas de la marca? Lo analizamos probando su montaje superior Marlin 8.

La Trek Marlin es una de las MTB de la marca más demandadas gracias a su cuadro de aluminio Alpha Silver con acabados de buena calidad, variedad de montajes y precios contenidos . Un modelo que ha sabido adaptarse a la evolución del Cross Country con diseño y componentes cada vez más versátiles, buscando rendir en subida, llano y descensos.

A las puertas de 2023, la marca estadounidense anunció su renovación , presentando un nuevo esquema de geometría, compatibilidad con horquilla de 120 mm (de serie lleva 100 mm) y compatibilidad con tijas telescópica para todos los 3 montajes de esta 3ª generación . Aunque sólo uno de ellos, la Marlin 8 que probamos en esta ocasión, incluye la telescópica de serie.

Trek Marlin 8 2023: cuadro y geometría actualizados

undefined

Qué mejor entonces que contar con una unidad de este modelo 8 para comprobar todas las mejoras y capacidades de la nueva Marlin. Se presenta con un cuadro de aleación Alpha Silver, con una estética atractiva para el segmento de precio en el que nos encontramos (1.000 – 1.500 €). Es una rígida con personalidad , que agradecemos en estos tiempos de diseños de bicis cada vez más clonados. Experimenta cambios importantes en geometría para acercarse más al Down Country o al Trail ligero . En otras palabras, es una MTB menos clásica, más bajadora y bastante más versátil .

Las modificaciones se notan en el tubo diagonal, ahora más grueso. También en el refuerzo de la parte superior del tubo del sillín, o en el sobredimensionado de la pipa de dirección.

undefined

La posición que se adopta ahora con ella se retrasa ligeramente. Es más centrada y potencia la estabilidad en bajadas y senderos, con un ángulo de dirección de 66,5º (el anterior era de 69,5º, por lo que aquí el cambio es bastante notorio) y en el tubo de sillín de 73,8º (1,9º más que la Marlin 2022). La trasera se mantiene prácticamente igual (vaina de 438 mm), pero el reach o alcance aumenta inevitablemente hasta 455 mm (talla ML de la unidad de prueba, 2,1 cm más que la Gen 2).

undefined

Pasando a los detalles de la estructura, llama la atención la abertura de su paso de rueda para poder instalar cubiertas de 2.4” , medida estandarizada en las MTB de competición y que se está extendiendo cada vez más al resto de modelos. También las dos entradas de cables en la parte superior del tubo diagonal (que sin embargo dejan los cables exteriores exterior bastante abiertos y sueltos, entorpeciendo la manipulación del bloqueo de la horquilla).

undefined

Pero sobre todo teníamos ganas de ver y probar esta bici con el nuevo eje trasero Thru Skew . Se trata de un eje de punteras cerrado para ganar solidez, estética, algunos gramos y mantener un buje estándar de 135 mm. Con el Thru Skew, además, la rueda trasera se puede extraer tanto con llave hexagonal de 5 mm como con una leva desmontable incluida con el eje .

Este es de plástico, con un cabezal de llave que, introducido en el eje, hace girar y aflojar fácilmente el eje. Se puede dejar puesto, pero recomendamos quitarlo y llevarlo en el bolsillo del maillot o en una bolsa de herramientas.

undefined

Sin embargo, en el cuadro de la Marlin 2023  echamos de menos el eficaz bloqueo de giro de la dirección Knock Block de Trek, sobre todo para evitar giros bruscos del ancho manillar de 760 mm. Lleva presente en Mountain Bikes de gama superior de la marca desde hace años y lo esperábamos en este tipo de bicicleta.

undefined

Otra de las novedades que trae esta nueva Trek Marlin 8, al igual que en el resto de montajes de esta nueva generación, es la posibilidad de elegir entre 8 tallas diferentes, incluida la nueva XXS . Se trata del Smart Wheel Sizing, que adapta el diámetro de la rueda a la talla elegida.

undefined

Así, este modelo se ofrece tanto con ruedas de 29”, para tallas de la M a la XXL, en 27,5” (S y XS) y también rescata las ruedas de 26” para la nueva XXS , manteniendo el mismo lanzamiento de la dirección a 66,5º. Nosotros para el test elegimos la M grande o ML .

La versión de montaje  8 es la más alta de la gama Marlin 2023, con un precio de 1.329 € . De él destacamos 3 puntos:

undefined

  • Tija telescópica : el único modelo Marlin 2023 que la incorpora de serie , aunque el resto son compatibles con su instalación. Se trata del modelo TranzX JD-YSP18 que en talla ML arroja 150 mm de recorrido y viene con mando remoto en el manillar, con un tacto muy cómodo, aunque deberás pulsar un poco más fuerte de lo normal para bajarla. La recuperación del recorrido, sin embargo, es muy buena y propia de tijas de mayor calidad.

undefined

  • Transmisión 1x12 : opta por la opción de primer precio de SRAM Eagle, el SX Eagle . El plato es de 30 dientes , que será un gran aliado para mover los 14,5 kg de bicicleta por las subidas, y el cassette de rango 11-50. Nos gusta que todos los elementos de la transmisión sean del mismo grupo SX.

undefined

  • Manillar-potencia : montaje puramente Trail, o Down Country , para el conjunto manillar-potencia, de Bontrager. El primero tiene un ancho de 760 mm (de serie se anuncia de 750) con altura de 15 mm, mientras que la potencia es de sólo 50 mm , además de ser compatible con el soporte Blendr de Bontrager para luces o ciclocomputadores.

undefined

Asimismo, la bici va bien servida de neumáticos, con los rodadores Maxxis Ardent de 2.4” . La horquilla es la RockShox Judy Silver con bloqueo manual TurnKey en la barra derecha y ajuste de rebote, los frenos son los Shimano MT200 con discos de 18o / 160 mm y el sillín es un cómodo Bontrager Arvada con ancho de 138 mm.

undefined

Entre salida y salida con la esta Trek Marlin 8, hemos estado analizando el mercado actual centrándonos en la oferta de rígidas XC con tija telescópica de serie. Un elemento que cada vez piden más los mountain bikers aficionados, en base a lo que obtenemos de nuestras últimas encuestas en redes sociales. Y nos sorprende las pocas opciones que hay en un rango de precio de 1.000 a 1.500 euros , con sólo dos modelos más de grandes fabricantes. Una de ellas es la Canyon Grand Canyon 7 con horquilla RockShox Judy Silver de 120 mm , 14 kg y 1.250 euros. Y la otra es la Cannondale Trail SE 3 , también con horquilla RockShox (Judy Silver) de 120 mm, con Shimano Deore 1x11 y 1.300 euros.

No obstante, a nivel de diseño y geometría, creemos que la Trek Marlin está ahora un paso por delante . Me ha gustado la postura que confiere esta XC todoterreno, que con tija telescópica podrás meter por ese sendero o trialera que antes se te resistía o que temías.

undefined

La TranzX Dropper me pedía sendero estrecho y bajadas empinadas, huyendo de las pistas . Son más de 14 kg de bici y eso es un punto negativo para el llano y las subidas. Pero a la hora de bajar o trazar a gran velocidad apenas se nota este lastre. El accionamiento de la tija a través del mando es rápido, aunque un poco duro al momento de pulsar.

Asimismo, la combinación manillar ancho-potencia corta heredada del Trail o el Enduro aporta estabilidad y control de la dirección. Tenía en mis manos una auténtica bici de Rally en aluminio. Pero también una Trail rígida para las bajadas.

undefined

A pesar de su versatilidad, buen trabajo con el cuadro y la geometría, no me llenó como esperaba esta Trek Marlin 8. Hay puntos del montaje mejorables . Porque estamos hablando de la versión superior de la gama y  elementos importantes como los frenos o las ruedas (con ancho muy limitado de 23 mm y sin ejes Boost) piden un punto más de calidad.

A nivel de transmisión o de cubiertas, sí que he agradecido que se apostará por el 1x12, aunque sea con el pesado SX Eagle , y por un plato de 30 dientes , que mitiga con agilidad de pedaleo y amplio rango de velocidades el peso elevado de la bicicleta. Por su parte, las cubiertas Maxxis Ardent de 2.4” , con una banda muy rodadora, se agarran con fuerza al suelo y aportan confianza en los tramos más resbaladizos o el paso por curva. Además, es un modelo resistente que podrás exprimir sin miedo y con el que tendrás neumático para rodar durante mucho tiempo.

undefined

Las pocas opciones de rígida XC con tija telescópica de serie dentro de este rango de precio es, claramente, un aliciente para que la Trek Marlin 8 2023 pueda convertirse en una superventas este año. Además, el modelo está ya asentado y es bien conocido por el público. Y ha recibido una actualización de cuadro y geometría muy aceptable, aunque con puntos a afinar, como el guiado de los cables, los acabados de las soldaduras o la reducción de peso.

El montaje también pide algún elemento más de calidad o ligero, que al menos permita bajar del límite de los 14 kg. Pero otros componentes como la tija telescópica , la transmisión 1x12 , las cubiertas 2.4 de Maxxis o las diferentes opciones de instalar accesorios (dos portabidones, soportes para bolsas, etc), son aspectos positivos que harán atractiva su compra esta temporada .

Trek Marlin 8 Gen 2 Review

trek marlin 8 gen 2 mountain bike

Trek Marlin 8 is the premium build from Trek’s family of cross-country hardtail mountain bikes. 

The Trek Marlin 8’s price is $1,330, a significant increase on the 7, but this is justified by air suspension, a tubeless-ready wheelset, and wide-range gearing, making it far more capable than the other Marlins. 

Beginner and intermediate riders can be confident aboard this bike, taking advantage of its race-ready characteristics. Alternatively, load it up with a rack and kickstand and use it as a mixed-terrain commuter. 

Our Trek Marlin 8 review will examine the bike’s strengths and weaknesses and offer a verdict on who should buy it. 

How Heavy Is the Trek Marlin 8?

The Trek Marlin 8’s weight is 29.1 lbs, almost three pounds lighter than the cheapest model. In addition, this bike is two to three pounds lighter than similarly-priced hardtails, which makes it notably faster going uphill. 

  • Air suspension fork
  • Tubeless-ready wheelset
  • Lightweight for the price
  • SRAM SX Eagle is a step down from the Marlin 7’s Deore M4100

Trek Marlin 8 Specs

Trek marlin 8 gen 2 full review.

Next, we’ll dive deeper into the components and features that make this bike stand out. But first, note the Trek Marlin 8 2022 is the same as the Marlin 8 Gen 2. 

Is the Trek Marlin 8 a Trail Bike?

When comparing the Trek Marlin 7 vs. Marlin 8, there’s a discernable difference in the ability to handle chunkier terrain. However, the Marlin 8 is still considered a cross-country bike , given the 100mm of suspension and XC-specific components. Most trail bikes have 130mm or more suspension travel.

RockShox Judy Silver Solo Air Fork 

Trek Bikes went for RockShox’s Judy Silver Solo Air suspension fork, which is the standout component of this bike’s setup. It’s relatively light, moves smoothly through the travel, and has decent small bump sensitivity.

Marlin 8 Gen 2 front suspension

The RockShox Judy air fork will easily give you your money’s worth if you decide to take Trek Marlin 8 on proper MTB trails.

Of course, it’s not going to handle big hits on rough trails with only 30mm stanchions and 100mm of travel  (80mm on XXS, XS), but it’s plenty capable on fast, flowy XC trails. It also has basic TurnKey lockout and preload adjustments.

Can You Add a Dropper Post to a Trek Marlin 8?

Yes, you can add some of the best dropper posts to a Trek Marlin 8. There is a hole to run the dropper internally through the top tube, but you will have to run the wire externally through the seat tube, as there is no hole at the bottom.

12-speed Gearing and Shimano Brakes

The Trek Marlin 8 mountain bike uses a modern 1×12-speed SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain, comprising a 30t steel chainring and an 11-50t cassette. This combination provides tons of range for the steepest climbs you’ll encounter.

Trek Marlin 8 SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain

SRAM’s SX Eagle 1×12 drivetrain offers a massive gear range to conquer virtually any hill you come across on your rides.

Although the gear range is better than the Marlin 7, we’re disappointed with the switch to SX Eagle, as it is a step down from Deore M4100 in performance and durability. 

Thankfully, Trek maintained the Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes on this bike, ensuring reliable stopping power in all conditions. 

Tubeless-ready Maxxis Ardent Tires and Bontrager Kovee Rims

The Trek Marlin 8 takes a huge step up with XC-specific Maxxis Ardent EXO tubeless-ready tires. These are fast-rolling, race-ready tires for dry to mixed trail conditions. The three-compound design reduces rolling resistance and optimizes traction, while the EXO layer provides cut and abrasion protection. 

Running a tubeless setup gives the Marlin 8 MTB a massive boost in capability and comfort. Riders can run lower tire pressure to enhance traction, shock absorption, and control, opening up more trail opportunities. In addition, the risk of puncturing is greatly reduced. 

Likewise, the Bontrager Kovee tubeless-ready rims are a marked improvement over the Connection rims on the other four models. They’re lighter, more durable, and designed specifically for cross-country riding. 

Trek Marlin 8 Gen 2 Sizing Chart

  • XXS — 4’5″-4’9″ / 135-145cm
  • XS — 4’9″-5’1″ / 145-155cm
  • S —  5’1″-5’5″ / 155-165cm
  • M —  5’5″-5’8″ / 165-173cm
  • M/L — 5’8″-5’11” / 173-180cm
  • L —  5’11”-6’2″ / 180-188cm
  • XL —  6’2″-6’5″ / 188-195cm
  • 2XL — 6’5″-6’8″ / 195-203cm

Who Is Trek Marlin 8 Gen 2 Best Suited For?

The Trek Marlin 8 is a proper XC bike for cross-country cycling , ideal for beginner or intermediate mountain bikers who want an affordable yet capable option to hit the trails. Likewise, this bike can double as a comfortable mixed-terrain commuter or bikepacking machine, thanks to the rack and kickstand mounts. 

Marlin 8 Gen 2 with a rear rack

Marlin 8 is compatible with a rear rack and even with a kickstand, so it can be a practical daily commuter or even a capable bikepacking machine.

The Marlin 8 is a broadly-appealing option as its versatility, reasonable price, and durability make it a great bike to develop your mountain biking skills on and even upgrade in the future.

  • Trek Marlin 5 Gen 2 Review
  • Trek Marlin 6 Gen 2 Review
  • Trek Marlin 7 Gen 2 Review

Is Marlin 8 Gen 2 a Good Buy?

The Marlin 8 is an excellent buy at this price . You get Trek’s renowned reliability, air suspension, a tubeless-ready wheelset, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, and a lightweight, compliant frame.

Marlin 8 top view

Trek gave Marlin 8 a premium finish, so the bike looks a lot more expensive than it really is, which is a nice plus if that’s something you care about.

It isn’t easy to find a hardtail at this price that handles cross-country racing, but this bike can put it up to the more expensive models. Trek Marlin 8 reviews online also paint an overwhelmingly positive picture, a testament to the quality and the value this bike offers in the sub-$1,500 price range. 

Choose Trek’s Marlin 8 if you’re looking for an affordable, race-ready XC hardtail that’s equally at home in the city.

Trek Marlin 8 Review: A Solid Choice for MTB Enthusiasts?

Profile picture of Petr Minarik - the founder of cyclistshub.com

CyclistsHub is supported by its readers. We may receive a commission if you buy products using our links.

This review of the Trek Marlin 8, the highest-end bike from the Marlin family of aluminum mountain bikes , will help you decide whether it is worth it. I interviewed one of its owners about his experience.

We will discuss the bike’s features, performance, and benefits. Of course, you will also learn about Marlin 8’s shortcomings.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Trek Marlin 8 is a great-value mountain bike suitable for cross-country and adventurous riding. However, due to the short fork travel of 100mm, it’s not the best choice for technical terrain and trails. You can buy it here or continue reading for more info.

I live in Northern England and am an experienced amateur mountain biker. I mostly ride cross country but enjoy a good trail run. I have been riding mountain bikes for the past ten years. Before my current bike, I owned a Carrera Kraken 27.5er.

Trek Marlin 8 Summary

Trek currently offers Marlin 4 up to Marlin 8. The higher the number, the more high-end (and expensive) the bike. Below is the summary of Marlin 8.

Trek Marlin 8 Pros & Cons

Below, we highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of the Trek Marlin 8 bike.

Trek Marlin 8 Pros

  • Renowned brand
  • Good price-value ratio
  • Available in 7 sizes (XXS-XL)
  • Modern gearing (1X)
  • Compatible with racks 

Trek Marlin 8 Cons

  • Limited color options
  • Short travel front fork (only 100mm of travel)

Joe’s Experience with Trek Marlin 8

What other alternatives did you consider before buying the Marlin 8, and why did the Marlin 8 win out in the end?

Initially, I planned to buy a Voodoo Bizango as a budget option, but after doing more research, I discovered that Trek was the better brand. I considered the Trek Roscoe 7 and the Trek Marlin 8, which have modern geometry. 

Ultimately, I chose the Trek Marlin 8 because it had higher-quality components and was the most cost-effective choice.

Have you bought the bike online or in a store? 

I bought my Trek Marlin 8 in-store from Evan’s Cycles.

For what type of riding do you use this bike the most?

I primarily use this bike for cross-country riding, but I have also taken it on several trails.

Trek Marlin 8 shot on a hill.

How would you describe its riding characteristics?

The SRAM derailleur provides a smooth gear shift, always responsive. Due to the Ardent Race tires, the Marlin 8 is one of the faster mountain bikes on smooth and dry terrain. I often pass my friends on this kind of terrain. 

However, a downside of these low-rolling-resistance tires is that they struggle to find traction during wet and slippery conditions, and I often find myself spinning the back wheel.

Does the front suspension work well?

The front fork performs well. It has a Rockshox Judy silver air spring, which offers an adjustable recoil rate and a hydraulic TurnKey lockout, making it responsive and customizable to the rider’s preference. 

However, when riding on more technical terrain, especially downhill, I have struggled to maintain control of the bike, likely due to the short travel suspension – the fork only has 100mm of travel.

Additionally, the shock absorber makes an uncomfortable whining sound upon recoil, but I believe this to be a characteristic of most MTB air springs and is a minor detail.

Would you like to have more gears, or are you ok with the modern 1X drivetrain?

My previous bike had a 3×9 drivetrain, so transitioning to a 1×12 was a big change, and I had to relearn how to use it. 

But with more modern gear ratios, I find climbing with this bike to be much easier and more controllable than with a 3×9 drivetrain. 

Trek Marlin 8 shot from the rear with a focus on its drivetrain.

The only limitation I have experienced so far is on high-speed downhill runs, where I have been unable to achieve higher speeds. Nevertheless, I have still managed to hit speeds of up to 35 mph downhill.

How comfortable is it on a scale from 1 to 10?

I would rate this bike as a 7 for cross-country runs compared to other cross-country hardtails. 

However, for trails, I would rate the comfort as more of a 4, likely due to the short travel in the front fork.

What is your overall feeling from the ride?

Since getting this bike, I have been able to climb hills that used to require me to push my bike. The 1×12 drivetrain has given me a new sense of achievement by enabling me to tackle steeper ascents.

Is there something you don’t like about it?

The only thing I would change about this bike is the lack of a gear indicator dial. Because of this, I have spent a lot of time in the wrong gear, but I have gotten better with experience riding the bike.

What do you like the most about it?

What I like most about this bike is definitely the drivetrain. The 1×12 drivetrain has enabled me to reach heights that were previously unreachable. 

I also appreciate the Ardent Race tires, even though they can be challenging in slippery conditions. They allow me to reach higher speeds with ease.

Trek Marlin 8 Alternatives

The Trek Marlin 8 alternatives include bikes from the same family, such as the Marlin 7 or 6, and MTBs from other brands.

I recommend checking out my article on mountain bikes for under $1000 for more inspiration. 

Would you recommend buying the Trek Marlin 8?  

I highly recommend purchasing a Trek Marlin 8 for cross-country and adventure use. I use it multiple times a week and often push it beyond its comfort zone, but it has never let me down. 

However, if I were to buy a hardtail for trail use, I think it would be worth spending the extra money on a Trek Roscoe . With its longer travel suspension and dropper post, the Roscoe would be much more suitable for trails.

Joe, thank you again for your time and for sharing your experience!

Trek Marlin FAQ

The main difference between the Trek Marlin and Trek Dual-Sport is that the Marlin is a mountain bike, while the Dual-Sport is a versatile hybrid bike. The Marlin is better suited for terrain as it has knobby tires, different gearing, and longer fork travel.

The main difference between Trek Marlin 8 and Marlin 7 is in components and price. Marlin 8 uses better components (Shimano Deore vs. SRAM Eagle), is lighter, and is slightly more expensive than Marlin 7. Check out this Trek Marlins comparison for more details and differences with other models.

The Trek Marlin 8 is a great mountain bike for beginners and those who want to experience off-road adventures. It uses branded components, follows modern trends like the 1X drivetrain, is well-made, and is available in many sizes. Its biggest weakness is its front fork, which has only 100mm travel and weight.

Trek Introduces Marlin+, an Affordable eMTB Series

trek marlin 8 opiniones

Trek offers the Marlin+ in two different builds, the Marlin+ 8 and the Marlin+ 6. These are hardtail eMTBs equipped with Bosch Active Line Plus mid-drive motors and 400Wh Bosch CompactTube batteries . Both e-bikes use 27.5-in. wheels for the XS and small sizes and 29-in. wheels for the medium, large and XL sizes. The XS is equipped with a 100mm-travel fork, while the small, medium, large and XL sizes all receive a 120mm-travel fork.

The Bosch Active Line Plus motors are rated at 250W and produce up to 50Nm of torque. The choice to go with a Bosch is a bit of a surprise; we don’t often see their motors spec’d in this price range, and that detail alone makes the launch of these eMTBs very exciting. In our experience, the Bosch motors are the gold standard for eMTB performance.

And because offroad terrain can vary so much, rather than list a mileage estimate, they suggest that riders will enjoy two to four hours per charge. Riders wanting greater range can purchase Bosch’s PowerMore range-extending battery. These are Class 1 eMTBs, legal to ride anywhere e-bikes are permitted.

With five sizes to choose from, Trek says that the Marlin+ will fit riders from 4 feet 9 inches up to 6 feet 5 inches.

Marlin+ 8

The Marlin+ 8 features a 12-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, 4-piston Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, 203mm rotors and a dropper post. It comes set up for tubeless riding complete with sealant. The Marlin+ 8 retails for around $3500.

trek marlin 8 opiniones

The Marlin+ 6 features a 9-speed Shimano drivetrain, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, 203mm rotors and an alloy seatpost. The Marlin+ 6 retails for less than $3000.

The Marlin+ is available on Trek’s website and should be in Trek stores later this month.

"Look fast, feel fast, go fast."

5 things to do before every mountain bike ride

Do this quick pre-ride safety check before you hit the trails.

Product features

Will my bike have a curved top tube.

Smaller frames have a top tube that dips down as it approaches the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily. Larger frame sizes have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height.

Fit for every rider

Marlin comes in seven frame sizes to suit riders of any height, and Smart Wheel Size ensures you’re on the fastest wheel that fits. The smallest sizes even come with short-reach brake levers and narrower handlebars that give smaller riders better comfort and control.

High tech, high value

Marlin looks and feels great. It’s packed with features usually found only on more expensive bikes, like a stylish frame with internal shift cable and brake hose routing, which can help your cables last longer by protecting them from the elements.

Suspension lockout

Locked suspension means your fork remains inactive, increasing pedaling efficiency. Perfect for extended road sections where efficiency is more important than bump absorption.

Rack mounts

Going for a long ride? Rack mounts make carrying accessories a breeze.

Blendr stem

Bontrager stem technology lets you clip your gear directly to the stem for clean looks, maximum user friendliness.

Internal cable routing

We route shift and brake cables through the frame to keep things clean and simple. And it looks great, too.
