Overview of components
Fork
The Marlin GS comes factory-installed with the Manitou fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Marlin GS model has 27.5″ aluminum wheels. 27.5″ wheels are a mixture between 29″ wheels and 26″ wheels. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Marlin GS has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
