Trek Marlin 6 Matte Lichen: a hardtail for adventure

The third-generation Trek Marlin 6 relies on slacker geometry and a dropper seatpost to widen the playground of an affordable hardtail mountain bike. A 100 mm RockShox Judy fork, Shimano CUES 1x10 drivetrain, Tubeless Ready rims and an Alpha Silver aluminium frame complete the package, for 15.00 kg in size M. Matte Lichen/Keswick Green Fade moves from a soft, light matt lichen green to a deep fir green.

Who is it for?

For the nature lover who enjoys exploring the tracks of the hinterland, from the Espinouse to the plateaux of the Larzac, for the rider who combines mountain biking with small day-long adventures, or for a cyclist looking for a truly versatile hardtail. The rack mounts also let you carry gear.

The LVR workshop view

Alpha aluminium, Trek's expertise. The Alpha Silver of the Marlin 6 is the same alloy as on the other Marlins, but this model makes better use of its potential: the dropper post routing built into the frame is used here as standard. Trek designed this third generation with a slacker head angle, which makes the bike calmer as the slope steepens.

	Marlin 6 (Alpha Silver)	Marlin 5 (Alpha Silver)	Procaliber 6 (Alpha Platinum)
Positioning	First true trail Marlin	Versatile in town and on tracks	Cross-country hardtail
Key equipment	Dropper post, TLR rims	Fork with lockout, rigid post	Higher-grade aluminium
Fork	RockShox Judy, 100 mm	Suntour XCT 30, 100 mm	120 mm
What it means	More relaxed descents	Cheaper, less versatile downhill	Livelier, more performance-oriented

In short: the dropper post is the piece of equipment that most transforms a beginner's mountain biking experience. Being able to drop the saddle with a push at the bar before a descent saves you from stopping and builds confidence. The Marlin 6 is the first Marlin to offer it as standard.

The slacker head angle of this third generation steadies the front of the bike at speed and on slopes. On the long tracks of the Espinouse, this calm behaviour reduces fatigue and builds confidence when you are discovering a route. The dropper post rounds things off for more technical descents.

For day rides, the rack mounts let you carry a picnic and clothing, and going tubeless reduces the risk of punctures far from anywhere. We can help you choose suitable bags and equipment. This matt green fade blends into the landscape and hides dust well.

Which Marlin should you choose?

Model	Fork	Drivetrain	Wheels / tyres	Weight (M)
Marlin 4	Suntour XCE 28, 100 mm	Shimano ESSA 1x8	29 x 2.40 in (inner tube)	14.90 kg
Marlin 5	Suntour XCT 30, 100 mm, lockout	Shimano CUES 1x9	29 x 2.40 in (inner tube)	15.10 kg
Marlin 6	RockShox Judy, 100 mm	Shimano CUES 1x10 + dropper post	Tubeless Ready rims	15.00 kg
Marlin 7	RockShox Judy Silver air, 100 mm	SRAM NX Eagle 1x12 + dropper post	Maxxis Rekon Tubeless Ready	14.15 kg

Our take: for exploring and long rides, the Marlin 6 offers the essential dropper post and 11-48 cassette. The Marlin 7 will be lighter, with an adjustable air fork on top.

LVR sizing advice

The dropper post travel follows frame size: 100 mm in XS and S, up to 170 mm in XXL. If you are between two sizes, the smaller one leaves more room to move around on the bike when descending.

Rider height (cm)	145-155	155-165	165-177	173-180	177-188	188-195	195-203
Inseam (cm)	69-73	74-78	79-83	81-86	84-89	89-91	91-97
