Marlin 6 Gen 3 Video: • THE 2023 TREK MARLIN 6...
2022 Gen 2 Comparison Video: • 2022 Trek Marlin Lineu...
Welcome to the long awaited Trek Marlin comparison for 2023!!! In this video I compare the 2023 Trek Marlin 4 gen 2, Marlin 5 gen 2, Marlin 6 gen 3, Marlin 7 gen 3, and Marlin 8 gen 3 with one another. I compare every single component on each of these bikes like the brand new frames, the brakes, suspension forks, drivetrains, and the drivetrain components like the cassettes and shifters. I also give my thoughts at the end to explain which bike is the best for a specific purpose and riding style, and which one is my personal favorite. I hope this video helps you understand all the similarities and differences!

Love the work that you do. Bought a Marlin 5 in the spring, suits my needs.I live rural with a lack of trails, mostly ride gravel or lesser used paved roads to avoid traffic. All of my other bikes have come from a department store, so it is a big improvement.
Thank you! Nice choice with the Marlin 5
Really? You should of bought a Hybrid not a MTN bike.
@@Wireman134 I am north of 60. I needed a fork that does the work so my shoulders don't have to and a better climbing gear than the hybrids offered. The dual sport is a mtb with road tires and transmission, I'm in no hurry. The verve may have a more upright position, but lacks the shock. The 5 suits my needs.
@@TalalipopMTBi recently bought a marlin 5 due to the new gen on hybrid no longer having suspensions which is a must with me maving speedbumps all over the area. Im in need of one more bike for the fam should I move to marlin 4 due to its larger front gear? Or would it make much bigger a difference.
Super helpful, I learn a ton from your videos! Very educational.
Thank you! Glad they help :)
I got marlin 7 and I recommend it! Its very nice🔥
very helpful ! after this vidio I got marlin 8 in the same red color
Nice!!
Love these videos keep it up
Thanks!
Thank you for the detailed comparison!
You’re welcome!
Great video, I decided on the Marlin 6 gen 3 a few months ago and love it!
Thanks! And congrats!!
This was the best video about trek marlins i have seen ive been trying to decide which one but couldn't but thanks to you i know everything about them really helped me out and i got a trek marlin 7 because of the 1x10 system and fork hope your channel grows more ❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you so much! I’m happy it helped :)
Amazing videos btw! :) Helped me decide on Trek Bikes.
Thank you!! Glad it helped :)
Amazing video as always, I'm between a rockhopper elite 29 and a marlin 7 gen 3, which one is a better option? I only o little xc and I want to focus on speed in flat areas
Very helpful video. Leaning towards the Marlin Gen 6 too.
Thanks!
i found marlin 8 gen 2 for 600, gna go check it out tomorrow, almost brand new, will be a steal if it ain't bad.
Great Review. I Got My M6G3
Nice!!
hello brother.I bought trek dual sport 2 gen 4 today, and on its frame written that it is made in china, everything right?
Can you confirm if the Trek 1120 is still for sale as new model years…2022…2023, etc. Are you still working in a bike shop? I always thought you had the best bike channel! Very informative!!! You offered live views and rides of new models.
It is still for sale but hasn’t been updated for a couple years. Might be lower inventory before. I unfortunately got let go from the bike shop, but I appreciate your support and kind words!! Thanks for watching :)
What I’m confused about is on treks website there’s 2 different gen3 marlin6 bikes. The front forks, rear skewer, and a couple smaller things are different
5:20 you mentioned that gen2 frame is a little faster than gen3 on gravel and on paved roads. Is it a noticeable difference? I would enjoy additional speed on my bike.
does it make sense if I want to replace the shifters, FD, and RD of my Marlin 4 to be the same with Marlin 5? is it compatible? sorry for a newbie question
For the marlin 4 and 5 in this video, the marlin 4 has a 3x7 drivetrain while the marlin 5 has a 2x8. That means the cassette and crankset would also both have to be changed along with the derailleurs and shifter to make the setup work. The marlin 4 has 7 gears in the rear freewheel while the marlin 5 has 8 gears, so the marlin 5 derailleurs won’t work with the marlin 4. However, upgrading the freewheel on the marlin 4 to a cassette is also harder, because you have to change out the entire wheel since the hub is not compatible with a cassette. Overall doing these changes would cost more than just buying a marlin 5
Thank you for this. Question. I ride mountain bikes a lot in the city as a commuter bike. I like the feel and the tires. Can i put riser bars on my bike so i am in more of a relaxed cruiser position? Im 5'4" 140lbs. Unless another style is better for me. I want the wider tires and the 1x gears plus hydraulic brakes.
Ask a bike shop if you can install a bmx handle bar/ headpost
A few details missing.. you mention the cranksets but only talk about the chainrings, nothing about the actual cranks and BB type. Also what about the head tube, tapered or straight? And more details about the skewer/thru-axle? Is this bespoke to the Marlin? Any sign of actual mtb standards here?
How do you use the clutch on the, Sram Sx Eagle?
You actually can’t activate or deactivate it on SRAM eagle derailleurs like you can with Shimano. It’s always on, but if you need to service your drivetrain there is a button on the derailleur that has a lock symbol on it, and this can be pushed in to make the chain loose
@@TalalipopMTB Oh Ok Thanks
I like to corner, so I prefer the steeper head angle of the Gen 2 models. It is not unstable.
Is the Marlin five compatible with the tires of the x caliber 9
If the bikes are the same size, yes
And Is the Marlin 8 good choice now, when I got it for like 900$?
what happens to the XCALIBER line in 2024?
Thanks for the great review. Now the marlin 5 gen 3 comes out, could u add this in the comparaison please? Thanks
Yes I will make a new comparison video once all the 2024 bikes are out so I have all the details
Great, now I want a 7/8 gen 3😮
the best and the most comprehensive, yet concise review ever!
Thank you!!
@@TalalipopMTBGreat comparison video bro!!!! Im torn between Azure color or Radioactive Red in a Marlin 5. What color do you like better???
Thanks!! I personally like azure, but I may be biased since blue is my favorite color. The red just looks a bit too bright and out there for me, and the dark grey / black accents on the azure are pretty nice too
@@TalalipopMTB Thanks for replying
No problem!
The 6 seems like the sweet spot, it gets the better fork, drivetrain, wheels, tires, etc.
Agreed!
❤❤❤❤ very very beautiful Love it . Thankyou bro
You’re welcome!
Nice...! Ka Adventure sana masilip nyo rin poh me😊
I can't believe there's no Cues drivetrains!!!!! Altus and tourney need to go
Fr. New giant talons already have cues 9 speed and 10 speed
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish I would got a marlin 6 over the 4 but oh well
the marlin 7 2023 has ardent race now.
Have i just found the best bike gear porn channel,haha. How do the alternative FSA, Prowheel cranksets compare to Shimano ones? Is it not a problem if they dont have hyperglide divots and whatnot because of patents?
Just buy a Ozark Trail and add better wheel set. My Schwinn Taff Comp build is less than $900 and beats the Rosco 7
So I a, gonna sell my marlin 4 gen 2 and I was thinking on getting a marlin 7 gen 2
US currently has new sale prices across the board.
I don’t see any sales on the Trek website, where did you see that?
it's a reduced price in house at their shops Marlin 5 is $600 and 6 is $750.@@TalalipopMTB
Ah I see, might depend on location since I don’t see those at my local stores.
Could be regional as well@@TalalipopMTB
Bro made a video after 2 mouths *
hahaha yeah I definitely procrastinated this one
Here is my question!! Marlin 7 gen 2 or Marlin 6 gen 3???? Which is better?
Marlin 6 gen 3 all the way for me
@@TalalipopMTB but why tho? What is better? ( I need more speed )
The new frame is a lot better for trail riding, and I personally think the parts on the marlin 6 are totally fine for beginner trail riding and the marlin 7’s parts aren’t a big enough upgrade to spend that much more on the marlin 7.
@@TalalipopMTB thank you very much I love your videos man ❤️
@@TalalipopMTB also what size should I pick if I am 1,85 cm and 90 kilos ???
