Marlin 7 is where race-worthy mountain bikes begin. The smooth, lightweight RockShox fork and upgraded parts 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.
The star of the Marlin 7 show is an aluminum frame packed with subtle features that make this 1000 dollar cross country bike perfect for both casual rides and aspiring racers alike, not to mention a paint job and sleek frame that's easy on the eyes. The bike boasts the kind of sharp and precise steering you’d expect from higher-priced racing models, and the 100mm RockShox XC30 coil spring fork delivers surprisingly good performance
