Marlin 5 – Trail & Everyday Adventure Bike
If you are planning on a longer hire for a bike packing trip, please consider the Brother Big Bro as it is designed for longer trips that can handle additional weight on the bike!
The Marlin 5 is the perfect blend of everyday practicality and off-road capability — ideal whether you’re cruising around Edinburgh, exploring forest tracks, or heading out for casual trail adventures. The Marlin 5 offers a stable, comfortable ride wherever you choose to go.
Built around a trail-ready frame with a responsive suspension fork, it takes rough paths, canal routes, and light singletrack in stride. The reliable Shimano 9-speed CUES drivetrain keeps your shifting smooth.
If you’re looking for a versatile, rugged, and easy-to-ride bike for discovering more of Scotland — both on the tarmac and beyond it — the Marlin 5 is a fantastic choice for your next adventure.
