2020 Trek Marlin 6 vs 2020 Trek Roscoe 7 | Which should you buy?

[@ZRMTB]

I just bought the 2020 Roscoe 8 about 10 days ago. I have been riding everyday since. It is an awesome bike. I love it. I am also a beginner. Watching your videos is helping me out. Thanks!!

[@gabrielbrolly457]

Same here dude

[@ZRMTB]

Awesome!!!

[@Robin_Hood381]

Dude, I bought a $500 entry level hardtail MTB just to ride around the city. I eventually took it to the mountains/trails and I loved it. I started tinkering with the hardtail, upgraded the fork, pedals, handlebars, stem, grips, bought a chain guide and then I decided to buy a dual suspension trail bike Trek Fuel ex 7. I took my entry level hardtail through some gnarly stuff though: some black and technical double black diamonds thinking, I'm going to ride it till the wheels fall off. It took all that abuse (Fuji Nevada 1.9). At that time, I still didn't believe in spending the types of $$ that these bikes cost nowadays... I'm keeping my hardtail for street riding. I love that I know how much abuse my hardtail will take and that I can ride crazy on the street if I so choose. I hit every jump that I come upon on the urban setting lol.

[@bigyada9406]

I got my marlin 7 because I was watching your videos. I'm on and off trail having fun. I've road 30 mile on paved trails and I've done some crazy stuff off trail.

[@ramborghini4485]

2021 model?

[@WasabiWei]

Going tubeless helps a ton by taking a lot of rotating mass out of the plus-sized wheels and also helps with grip and smoother vibes on small stuff like gravel. I have the same bike as Matty and I'm telling you that tubeless is almost as big a deal as the dropper post. The stock rims and tires with Trek store valves and Stan's sealant lose about 3-5 psi (18 front, 20 rear at 165 lbs.) if you top them off weekly in my experience. For trail, I drop the pressure to 16 front 18 rear. I commute and carry weight most of the time.

[@dkatz709]

Great video! I watch a lot of bike channels like GMBN and Pinkbike, and this was one of the most honest, relatable, and useful bike reviews I've ever seen. Really nice bike too, I love my Roscoe!

Great review; just got 2022 marlin 6 for both me and my gf and we love the bike. will soon upgrade the front fork and the dropper post since we find there's a lot of fun riding in trials

I love the Roscoe 6 and have hit very big gap jumps and large drops. People say that the Roscoe is kinda a beginning bike, but a very experienced rider can have some serious fun.

[@MattyActive]

Ksea Spotting very true!

[@tripsavala4671]

Outstanding! Do you remember me telling you I have a Marlin 5 for around town and the occasional in town trail, and the Roscoe 8 for the more serious stuff? Yep! You get it my friend. Next time I’m back home, let’s ride some trails! Keep up the good work and put in the fun miles!

[@MattyActive]

Trip Savala yea I remember, I’m definitely down to ride!

[@shoeonhead]

I have a Roscoe 8 and wanted a 29er as well as the 27.5 so I preordered the 2021 Marlin 7. It finally went to a one by drivetrain. Now a Deore 10 speed and I have a reverb dropper post all ready for it. It’ll be fun to have both. BTW. 2.6 tires on the front and 2.5 on the back is my jam. I use the Maxxis Aggressors.

[@denismacfarlane255]

Do yourself a favor and ditch the reverb unless its the latest gen. I’m a service manager and I get so many calls to bleed and service that post. My sales manager had one, he got fed up and bought a Fox. Even a tranz x or brand x is far more reliable and all around better post than reverb at a fraction of the price.

[@SaltyMaud]

Got the idea that i could probably replace many of my shorter car rides with a bicycle - started looking into road bikes. Realized i live right next to a good network of gravel forest paths, and there are some semi-serious trails locally accessible too - started veering towards mountain bikes. Dialed back to Marlin 6 because it should still be relatively decent for casual riding while making trails at least traversable, without breaking the bank. Further rationalized it so that _if_ i get more interested in the offroad side of things, it should be a decent frame to bolt upgrades on, and if i just end up riding pavement and gravel mostly, it'll be perfect for that as it is... Or if i get _really_ interested in this stuff, i can keep it as my daily bicycle and get a dedicated trail bike for that kind of stuff.

[@WaTeRGuNz_]

Another one.👊🏼.good job.was waiting for you to mention the fork.i have the same Marlin 6 you had.so far I upgraded my drivetrain to a 1x12 SRAM Nx eagle and that alone is night and day.was thinking of upgrading my fork next.but thanks for expressing your views on both bikes.Awesome🍻

[@buddy7136]

I got a 2019 marlin 7. If you're riding more pavement then dirt I would recommend buying a pair of gravel bike tires. They're much faster then the stock tires. Between budget and space I cannot have two bikes so I switch the tires for the ride.

[@jjdiamond4108]

Ohh you can change your tires to a gravel bike on marlin? For faster movement or speed? Thank you

You can do lots of things with the marlin 6 with low money to make it more fun. First the seat (WTB is a good brand), footpegs with pins, change that long Stem (Tee) and put a very short one, the bike is gonna change drastically because is gonna be very nimble and fun to ride... I mean, why they put those long stems, they are destroying the fun, you can add a handlebar with a little rising If you want even further fun... you can save for a dropper, then a better transmition, brakes. Burn the tires having fun until making more changes, you can even put a Rockshok later and got a great hardtail for fun. You got a nice frame to do what you like.

[@velvetMXO]

Cool stuff brother, glad I found your channel. I used to be into mountain biking years ago and started getting back into again here in Japan (Mt. Fuji). I don't have a Trek though. I have a giant Fathom 1 2020.

[@johnnyk6906]

I can tell you were having much more fun on the Roscoe. Marlin is more of a rugged hybrid and Roscoe is the real XC.

[@ceofirstclass3050]

Theses videos are really good nice quality and verry good content love seeing newer riders take up mtb.

[@cameronsimmonds4810]

Great videos dude, always improving and solid advice. I have a Marlin 6 atm, mostly commute on it, but starting to do trails and such on the weekends

[@tomtripptree5079]

I was in the same predicament as you where. I brought a hybrid bike thinking I was going to ride mostly in the neighborhood and a little bit in the trails. Little did I know how much I liked trail riding more. I brought an Trek Excalibur 8 still thinking I was mostly rinding in the streets and less in the trails( the hybrids are really not good for mountain biking) that why I got the Excalibur 8. But I am not crazy about the 29 in tires maybe I am not used to them or something. I like the smaller tires better seems like the bike more nimble. In the near future I am looking to buy a Farley or a Roscoe. If I had to do it all over again I would find a shop that rents mountain bike and paid to use them a see which type of riding I like better and research the bike I like best. Good job on the videos I will keep watching

[@grntitan1]

Hey Matty, could you talk about the accessories you have added to your bike? Like the cell phone holder and any other accessories you have purchased. Thanks, Matt

[@-ant-5808]

Yea this would be a great idea

[@IgorOctaviano]

Yeah, i would like to know xP

[@kwaktak]

I’m much older than you and am jealous that you could advance and upgrade so quickly but I still appreciate this video. I’m enjoying my Marlin 7 for more XC style riding where I can get some speed but not lose grip on loose gravel. I think it wasn’t enough for trails though and I’m of the age where I don’t heal nearly as quick so when I crashed on a rock garden in the woods it really got in my head. I think Trek has been hearing similar things from Marlin 7 riders, prompting them to upgrade it to a 1x10 with a better fork so that it’s almost like an entry level X Caliber - but it’s still a 29er so it will always be a different beast than a Roscoe. I’d love to rent a Roscoe 8 for a day and see what I’m missing and if I can make some upgrades to my Marlin 7 so that I can have the best of both worlds and get a little more adventuresome on my rides because I’m getting kinda bored doing the whole “on your left” thing on MUPs.

[@robsnow2099]

I got a 7 and hit all kinds of trails, not black diamonds or nothing too crazy. But download the app "Alltrails" and check around your area. Do the intermediate ones till you get better, because like you said those greenways get boring and crowded. Just get some knee pads, gloves and a helmet.

[@juanhuttoe4517]

Supposed to check out a roscoe 6 next week. New shipment coming in.

[@giorgosspiropoulos7284]

Hey wonderful video , loved the fact that its pretty fast on roads, seems very capable on rough terrain, and looks good. Im between the trek ds2 and trek marlin 6 , cause i want the comfort, on all terrain, uphills, paths ,use it most for joy ridding on roads , guess long distance for my use such as 20 kilometres a day and more . So would like your suggestions too , and saw your videos , keep up and thanks again for the advice...

[@westte1417]

Great video! I love my roscoe 7, all I have done with it is trail ride and it does a great job

[@mateos4514]

Hey Matty I have the 2019 Roscoe 8 and i swapped those 2.8 tires to some maxxis 2.4 tires and that made a huge difference. It has more speed on pavement and shreds the trails

[@Diego-oy6en]

Did you find that you lost the “cushion” and pros that the plus tires give? Also are you running tubeless and keep the same wheels?

[@mateos4514]

@@Diego-oy6en I kept the same wheelset and in my opinion the 2.4 feel a whole lot better and faster. I didn't loose any cushion and bike feels more lighter as well

I know about the upgrading fairly quickly haha. I bought a Giant Talon (Giant's equivalent to the Trek Marlin) last august to get back into biking and in February made the jump to full suspension with a giant Trance (Giant's equivalent to a Trek Remedy). I had already been taking that Talon hardtail onto all kinds of blue trails and even a few black rated trails, though some of the front range chunkfests are no fun on a hardtail.

[@MattyActive]

Nice, I don’t blame you on the full suspension. The trek remedy 8 is the bike I’m trying to get!

Won't be long at this rate you'll have 2,000 subs right on!!

[@geauxtime]

I still have my 2020 Marlin 6. I agree it's very fast; would be great as a commuter. And it can handle basic, relatively flat single tracks easy. I've only upgraded the pedals; I don't want to put any more $ into it b/c I want to ride more aggressive trails and even street (drops, etc). And at 5'10" a 29er feels way too big for me. I want to upgrade to a bike with 27.5's, dropper post, more travel, a 1x drivetrain. But once you start looking at nice hardtails, it's hard not to look at dual suspension bikes in the $2,000 range.

[@sli8462]

The first thing I did to my Trek Marlin was put a dropper post. Now it's fast and I'm not getting punched in the nuts

[@traceyodonnell1969]

Some beautiful sky lines !! have to disagree with you regarding the Marlin but likely its just your 29ers. I have a 2019 Trek Marlin 6 which has a 3 x 8 drive train (24 speed) with 27.5's and its a dog on pavement/asphalt. I bought it for trail riding but will use it on rail to trails and around town a bit and often feel like I'm fighting myself as a result of the beefy Bontragers (27.5 x 2.20). Excellent for a trail riding - I take it on moderate rated trails but wouldnt trust it on expert trails. I'm currently looking for a FS bike as the Marlin is holding back my riding and likely will be a YT Jeffsy. Keep on pedaling.
