Algupära

Marlin — Gary Fisheri, ühe mägiratta leiutaja pärand, kes nimetas mudeleid merekalade järgi (Marlin, Wahoo, Barracuda), sümboliseerides kiirust ja osavust radadel. Esimesed Marlinid (~1995) olid terasest XC-kõvad sabad alg- ja kesktasemel Gary Fisheri sarjas, mille Trek neelas 1993. aastal. Pärast Gary Fisheri kaubamärgi likvideerimist (2010-2014) läks mudel Trek'i alla ja 2018. aastal läbis täieliku ümberkujunduse. Täna nimetab Trek Marlinit 'kõige populaarsemaks mägirattaks' ja soovitab seda NICA kooliliigale.
