If you're looking for your first mountain bike and want a slightly different machine, this is a great place to start: A nimble hardtail that takes cues from lightweight cross-country racers. It even does it without blowing up your checking account!

Trek knows that first impressions count, and they want your first real mountain machine to be fun, durable and confidence-inspiring. The Marlin 5 gets down to business with an Alpha Silver aluminum frame that is both light and rugged. With clever hydroformed tubes and a dialed frame geometry, the Marlin 5 goes where you point it. Mounts for bottles, rack and fenders (sold separately) make the Marlin 5 a versatile runabout as well as a trail-tamer. The Marlin 5's adjustable Suntour XCT suspension fork helps soak up bumps and keep the front wheel planted. Bontrager Connection alloy wheels are built with 32-spoke construction and are shod with trail-ready XR2 tires for easy acceleration and confident grip. Tektro's M280 cable-operated disc brakes bring better stopping power to the Marlin 5, even in wet and sloppy conditions. Lightning-quick shifting is courtesy of Shimano's 7-speed RapidFire shifters and Tourney deraillers. A Shimano Tourney 42/34/24T crankset and 12-32T Shimano cassette offer a massive gearing range for roller-coaster singletrack. An alloy Bontrager Blendr stem adds mounts for optional lights or a computer, while a Bontrager Evoke 1 saddle provides a comfortable perch for day-long adventures.
