Just so to trekbikes.com. The sale is on their homepage.
FWIW, while I'm a Trek fan — it was the only brand I used to ride but I've branched out now — there are better options for the price. The Marlin 6 for $750 is a decent price for what you get though.

It's worth going to a couple local bike shops if possible to get a sense of size and style before ordering anything online. You can look at frame geometries and more to understand how anything purchased online will fit.
If it's just riding around a neighborhood and not on technical trails, any basic bike will work, even from a big box store. I think big box store bikes are more trouble than they are worth but some are okay for basic riding.
Most areas have good options on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. I've had great success with that but you need to know what you're getting -- age, original price, shape it's in, etc. Sometimes there are excellent bikes people are selling because their child outgrew it. That can take more patience but it's the best way to get a nice bike for a good price.
Other possibilities. REI has options in the $500 - $700 range. The $600 Marlin 5 from Trek would be a good bike to ride around the neighborhood and on light trails: https://www.trekbikes.c
Specialized has some lower-end bikes that could be solid as well for many people (Rockhopper or the more expensive Rockhopper Comp): https://www.specialized.com/us/en/shop/sale/c/sale?q=%3Afeatured%3Aarchived%3Afalse%3Aclearance%3Atr... [specialized.com]
They also have some amazing higher-end bikes, as does Trek and many other companies.
If riding will be just on paved or gravel roads, also consider looking at a "hybrid" bike. They can be more comfortable. For example: https://www.trekbikes.c
I'm not the best person to ask about this though! I've been out of the biking scene for decades and am now only recently getting back to it.

All hardtails for around $600. Leaning towards the Specialized Rockhopper Sport because it seems to have a better drive train, and the lowest price. Any thoughts or suggestions?
