Marlin Gen 2 Frameset
-
Detail
Overview
It's right for you if...
You’re looking for a versatile, wallet-friendly hardtail frameset you can build up exactly the way you want. You'll fly through singletrack, tackle rugged, all-terrain commutes, or both, depending on how you spec it.
The tech you get
A lightweight and sturdy Alpha Silver Aluminum frame, internal routing to protect cables from the elements, mounts for a rear rack and kickstand, and a headset. A rear quick-release skewer makes it easy to take off the rear wheel. Designed with Smart Wheel Sizing: smaller frames fit 27.5˝ wheels and larger frames fit 29˝ wheels.
The final word
It's a light and capable frameset at a great value. You can spec it as a solid cross country mountain bike without breaking the bank, or build up a rugged commuter that easily handles potholes and rough roads.

This frameset is legit! Upgraded from an old hardtail and the difference is night and day. The Marlin Gen 2 handles everything I throw at it, from flow trails to chunky descents. Super happy with my purchase.

Just built up my Marlin Gen 2 frameset and I'm stoked! Geometry feels dialed for hitting the trails. Can't wait to rip some singletrack this weekend!

Okay, so I was a little nervous about building my own bike, but the Marlin Gen 2 frameset made it surprisingly easy. The frame is super well-made, and the welds are clean. Took it out for its maiden voyage yesterday, and it handled like a dream! Climbs like a goat, descends like a cheetah (if cheetahs rode bikes, that is). Seriously, if you're on the fence, just send it! You won't regret it. This is going to be a long, beautiful relationship. I'm already planning our next adventure to Moab!

Solid frameset! Great value for the price. Easy to build up and feels really confident on the trails. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a capable all-mountain ride.
