You get modern trail geometry and extra grippy 27.5+ tyres to fill you with confidence on technical single track which will ultimately help you develop your riding skills faster. Much like the Marlin, the value for money on the Roscoe is outstanding. Not many other manufacturers make a bike like this in the same price range, the only other similar bike we stock is the Cannondale Cujo. The Trek Roscoe is an entry level trail hardtail. The Marlin has the best value to performance ratio in its category. The Marlin is perfect as a first mountain bike, commuting, or even some more serious XC and trail riding. Trek have also updated their designs to be more simplistic with larger logos which gets a big thumbs up from us. The frame is a hand me down from last years more expensive X-caliber and all models use hydraulic disc brakes, making for a bike that looks and rides like a much higher end bike. The Trek Marlin has impressed us this year. Almost all of the bikes in Trek’s range are now available for women, and often in nicer colours too.

This means that all the design and focus that goes in to the brand’s best selling models are now directly available for women instead of handing down features to individual women’s bikes. Like many other manufacturers, Trek have stopped making some of their women’s models and instead are producing their flagship bikes in a women’s spec with specific contact points and altered frame and cockpit geometry. But it may surprise you to find out that the technology trickles down to even their lowest price points, providing bikes that are both packed with features and excellent value for money. Trek is the world leader in Mountain Bike technology, so it’s no surprise that their bikes are regular podium winners in Downhill, XC racing and more.
