I'm glad they took care of that issue for you. And thank you for adding to the conversation.

As soon as mine arrives, yes.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave feedback, my friend.

Yes, that saddle is a little rough on the bottom. Most of them are at that price point. I'm glad you found one that works for you and that you are enjoying the ride. Thank you for watching and adding to the conversation.

We appreciate you watching and adding to the conversation, Tyler. I'm glad to hear the bike is treating you so well. Please adventure safely, and thanks again for the support.

Personally, I would choose the Marlin 6. You get a few more refinements over the Marlin 5, but more importantly, you get a 10-speed over the 8-speed the Marlin 5 has. I hope this answer is helpful to you, my friend. Thank you for watching.

Hey Ross, thank you for taking the time to watch our video and ask your question. With all the refinements of Gen 3, it really is the way to go. The front suspension is the biggest one, in my opinion. Either way, you'd get a fun bike that provides miles upon miles of fun and adventure. I hope this answer is helpful for you.

Thanks, Stacy; I appreciate your support.

Yes, the Fuel EX line-up for Trek is like the Toyota Tacoma line-up. You really can't go wrong. Thanks for watching and adding to the conversation, my friend.

Nope, I don't believe you would have an issue at all. An XL frame should be the right size for you.

Thank you again for the support and feedback, Gary. Stay hydrated and safe out there this summer.

Wow, that is a tough choice, my friend. I am not a fan of Di2 shifting, but that doesn't mean it's not a great group. If it were me, I would purchase the Emonda and, at some point, upgrade to SRAM AXS. This is just one person's opinion, though. Either way, you go, I do not feel you would be disappointed. Thanks for watching and asking your question. I hope my answer proves helpful.

Thank you for watching.

When Brandon says trim shift, he means downshifting.

That might have been my heart coming out of my chest, lol. Thanks for watching, my friend.

Oh yeah, they were out of control at Skyline last week.

@@GetOutArizona What trail at Skyline, Turnbuckle?

@@ahwatukeeazdoctor5789 Pretty much the entire ride... Turnbuckle West, Pyrite, Chuckwalla...

@@GetOutArizona Awesome! I plan to take a short ride on the Mule Deer Trail this weekend.

@@ahwatukeeazdoctor5789 I’m having spinal repair surgery this Saturday morning so I’ll be off the trails for a few weeks. I’ll have a bunch of shorts and a couple trail videos rolling out though while I’m down.

Great question, and thank you for asking. I believe the Giant Contend 3 is a competent and capable bike, and I do not feel you would be disappointed if you went this route. My suggestion is to take both bikes for a test ride and see which one fits you the best. Fit and feel make all the difference. I hope this answer is helpful to you, my friend. Thank you for watching and taking the time to ask it.

Trek is having a ridiculous sale right now. The X-Caliber 9 is marked down to $1399. I would choose that over the XC8 if your budget allows. I hope this answer is helpful. Thank you for watching and asking your question.

@@GetOutArizona Thanks guys. What’s the address to your bike shop in Pheonix. I’m gonna visit soon!

@@ras864 Here ya go, my friend. maps.app.goo.gl/FkPJTSo9YNXh3yy27

I used to be a “Roadie” but I’m priced out of the market so I’m enjoying the ride of the Hard-Tails around town. I’ll in search of the lightest one. It appears that the best deal is Marlin 8 Gen 2. Am I right????

@@ras864 The Gen2 Marlin is a fantastic deal. But with some of the sale prices being as much as 50% off, there are a lot of fantastic deals to be had. Again, it depends on your budget. Hell, I'm trying to justify the purchase of a 9.8-Calibe, lol

This is a great question. Thank you for asking. The geometry is more aggressive than that of a Domane, so riding a 56CM in a Domane may feel different than riding a 56CM on the Madone. I have always been a 56, and yet, on some bikes, 56 feels a shade small. It's usually the geometry, and with a few tweaks, the fit is perfect. I hope this answer is helpful for you. Thank you again for watching.

That is awesome! I love it! Thank you for taking the time to watch and add to the conversation, my friend. Keep us posted on how you are enjoying the bike and adventure safely.

That's awesome. Thanks for watching and stopping in. Let us know how you're enjoying your new ride.

Yes, you can use the new trays on your old wrack. 1UP addressed this question in a response to a similar question. It's a great question though and prudent of you to ask. The new rack does fold. I asked that question myself, as mine is permanently mounted to my truck and folded up when not in use. Thank you for watching my friend. I hope these answers are helpful.

I don't understand your question. On the one hand, the maximum speed would be as fast as you can travel. If you are referring to the maximum speed the bike can tolerate, Trek has no available data. This is an intriguing question, though. Thank you for watching and taking the time to ask.

depends how much HP/TORQUE engine your bike has (engine referring to your self)

Thank you for taking the time to watch and adding to the conversation, my friend.

David, you are correct, the HD does support up to 65 lbs per tray. If we said 50 lbs, that is an error. Thank you for pointing that out.

Thank you for watching and adding to the conversation, David.

It literally does have a carbon fork, it says right on the side of it 😂

@@Kaspurr84 I appreciate you pointing that out, @kaspurr84. I didn't want to be a dick to @davidramirez199 by stating that obvious point, as well as the fact we mention that multiple times in the video. I appreciate you watching and adding to the conversation.

No, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Keep us posted on how you are enjoying your new ride.

Wade, thank you for watching and taking the time to add to the conversation. I know our other viewers will appreciate it as well.

Thank you for your feedback my friend and taking the time to watch,

Proper fit and comfort are everything. I hope it works for you. I know I ride a large frame because I'm in that gray area in size. Keep us posted on how it works out.

This is a great question. The Roscoe 6 is definitely a sweet spot for the line. However, the Roscoe 8 is a ridiculously good bike you will enjoy for many years. You will have zero issues besides regular maintenance and replacing worn parts. I know that budgets are important, and I would never tell anyone to overspend. However, in this case, I believe the extra dollar will increase your bike investment's longevity. I hope this answer is helpful for you. Thank you for watching.

@@GetOutArizona Yes, that answer was very helpful! I like it when people can give you definite answers lol. I just got the bike.

@@Jose-sy1je Awesome! Congratulations on the purchase. Please keep us posted on how you enjoy it and adventure safely, my friend.

I love riding in Northern Arizona. I should be returning in the next month or so. Thank you for watching.

Yes, the Matlin frames have a sweeping top tube.

Craig, this is a great question. Thank you for asking. You would have to purchase a generic mounting bracket for this bike. Has track did not specifically create mounting points for a pet trailer. I am sure that most pet trailer companies offer this type of kit. I hope this answer is helpful for you.
