Trek Marlin 7 Gen 3 (2027)
The Marlin 7 is the top of the Marlin range and the point where the parts stop being compromises. A RockShox fork rather than a budget coil unit, and SRAM NX Eagle at 12-speed with the range to get up anything.
If you are choosing between the 5, 6 and 7, the honest answer is that the fork is what you are paying for. It is the part you feel on every descent and the part that is most expensive to upgrade later.
Who it suits: riders who will ride real trails regularly, and anyone who would rather buy once.
