Upgrading the popular Trek Marlin MTB Hardtail! This applies to #trek #marlin 5, 6 and 7 mountain bikes. Be aware that 2019 Marlin 5 needs a rear wheel/ hub upgrade to be able to install a new cassette. For 2020/ 2021/ 2022 Marlin, all models can have the drivetrain upgraded easier, no need for new rear hub! 2023 did not introduce major updates or changed the frame significantly, everything still applies #upgrade
