According to the product specialist

Pros
The Marlin 5 handles well thanks to the lightweight aluminium frame.
Smooth and reliable gear shifting with the Shimano Altus group.
Hydraulic disc brakes provide plenty of braking power.
The option of mounting luggage racks and mudguards makes this MTB also suitable for daily use.
Lightweight aluminium frame with modern geometry for great handling.
Reliable 10-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain.
Hydraulic disc brakes for high braking power in all weather conditions.
Mounting points for a luggage rack, kickstand and more.
Cons
This bike is very suitable for gravel rides but less so for real mountain biking.
The front fork lock-out cannot be operated from the handlebars.
