43 new this week, from riders and from around the web.
Bought a Marlin 5 Gen 3 to get back into mountain biking and says it rides like a dream. Has swapped the pedals and grips, plans a RockShox Judy fork and a dropper post, and is very happy with it for the price.
“I recently bought this Trek Marlin 5 (Gen 3), as I was looking to get back into Mountain Biking, It's been fantastic so far, rides like a dream, and helps make rides more fun.”
Loves the new Roscoe: got one of the upgraded Roscoe 8s with a Lyrik Ultimate fork and calls it a killer bike, so much so that they now only ride their full-suspension bike at the bike park. Thinks the fork on the Roscoe 7 would leave them wanting more.
Rides a four-week-old Marlin 5 Gen 3 as a fitness bike on asphalt and gravel. After about 800 km with no hard drops, the stock nylon pedals had broken; the shop knocked their price off a pair of Bontrager Line Elite pedals.
“Bit disappointed to notice this yesterday, been riding this for maybe 800km mostly as fitness bike on asphalt and gravel, no hard drops etc. Surely this can't be normal”
Owns a Roscoe 7 Gen 4 in olive and loves it. Having ridden plenty of Marlins, finds the Roscoe a clear step up and fully worth the price.
“I have this bike. But in Olive. It’s great love it. Tons of Marlins around me and I have ridden them a ton. This is a step up for sure and 100% worth it.”
Just bought a Roscoe 7 Gen 4 and loves it so far. Wanted better components than a Marlin without the budget for full suspension, and calls it a great hardtail for a $1,500 budget.
“If you are in the market for a new hardtail and have a max budget of $1500, this is a great bike for you. ProCaliber is another Trek to consider, but it's an XC bike.”
