Good clip…we added one to the family this spring and it’s been so impressive!

[@2wheels575]

Thank you. Yes indeed, very impressive. I ride it everyday to work and enjoy doing so. Happy riding.

[@DadThatCooks]

Getting mine tomorrow!

[@2wheels575]

Do you find 1x10 to have enough range? What kind of top speed do you get? And is it a chore to downshift all the way from high to low? With a 2x or 3x I find it very easy to drop a gear up front when I encounter an unexpected incline. Any cross chain issue?

[@2wheels575]

I have been enjoying the 1x10 a lot and my other bike marlin 7 has it too. The gear range has been pretty impressive and i mostly used only top 5 gears . Couple of times have down to the last gear when doing a hill climb. I feel it all a personal choice and the type of terrain you ride. No cross chain issues until now. Have ridden over 3000 kms until now and going good.

Congrats, awesome bike.

[@stevehenion1929]

I own this bike in this color and it is amazing. It's very fast. It's the best bicycle I've ever had. When the wind is at your back this bike is extremely fast on a flat.

[@peterc504]

Can you help me in picking out a bike? I really love the look of this one. Ive currently ridden a san rafael marin DS 1 which is probably very similar for 599 and it felt like a dream. I almost pulled the trigger but hesitated bc I felt there might be something better for that price?

[@stevehenion1929]

Yah I can help you. This bike is more expensive than that. I would never buy a bike for 599$ that would be like peddling a tank around compared to this dream. You get what you pay for.

[@aearly841]

The 2023 model(gen 5)loses the front suspension fork in favour of a rigid carbon and consequently a significant amount of weight. Although it comes with much beefier tyres. I’m just wondering if that 40T chainring is going to maintain a decent pace on the flats. I’m migrating from a MTB, so I want to stick that form factor.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Did you ever buy a Dual Sport 3? If so how are you liking it?

[@aearly841]

I purchased the Gen 4 which I got heavily discounted. The suspension fork is horrendous, heavy and very poor quality, unusable …The gear shifter is so stiff, it has given me RSI. Stock saddle is uncomfortable…Shimano brakes excellent for city cycling….The bike is fine for my needs(zippy urban commuter) …Definitely not something for long distances…

[@luvwutsnew401]

I got mine in April it's red,I like this color better.

[@2wheels575]

Yes it is. Congrats on your new bike. I had the red in dual sport 2 as my previous bike. Happy riding.

[@corrinpinto3343]

I love the cycle👌👍❤️

[@JasonBrozic]

Is that head tube tapered…?? Or is it the 1 1/8”…??

[@2wheels575]

It is the standard one available on the bike 1-1/8"

[@RickThorneycroft]

I am looking at the Marlin 7Vs DS, which do you prefer to ride? I will be mainly commuting to work and hopefully some off road in the future. Thanks!

[@2wheels575]

Both are good bikes as I own both. I commute on DS as I can achieve more speed and can reach destination faster. Marlin 7 is a sweet on hill climbs and just love it on off road trails.

[@MrRai101]

Lovely music 🎶🎵

[@mainik1]

im wondering shall i get this brand new or a hardtail MTB Cube with carbon frame,full XT second hand 6 year old for 950 euro

[@MrRai101]

Why did you buy this over the fx 3 if you don't mind me asking?

[@2wheels575]

I prefer a bike with a front suspension which the fx does not have. They are equally good bikes and lighter in weight than the dual sport.

[@MrRai101]

@@2wheels575 I think I prefer the riding position of the ds3 but not sure if I will need the front suspension. Your right though, both amazing bikes!

[@rafaelsampaio3127]

I'd like to ask you: what have influenced you to get this bike instead of the Marlin 7 one? It's the same price. It was just the reason for the urban use?

[@2wheels575]

I do own a Marlin 7 as well and use it for mountain biking, have done a walkthrough video earlier. Dual sport is more of a commuter for day to day riding. As I commute to work, dual sport ticks all boxes. Pricing is same for both bikes.

I just got a trek dual sport 1 what kind of tires I can put on the bike

[@2wheels575]

I have had the Bontrager GR1 Expert, 700x40 c tyres which come as standard, and they have been impressive. Ride on bike paths and gravel at times.

[@nakreidog]

Is it a big difference between ds2 vs ds3 ? I want to get ds3 but the wait is month and ds2 is available now

[@ElProsepoem]

yes

[@2wheels575]

The main difference between DS2 & DS3 is the drive train. The 1x10 drive train on the DS3 gives that additional speed which the DS2 didn't have. I waited for nearly for six months to get it but the wait is worth as I earlier rode a 2019 DS2.

[@nakreidog]

@@2wheels575 thank you, so I did came for ds2 today to the store , but decided not to take it and purchase ds3 with a 3 weeks of wait. Also the breaks on ds2 felt soft and the color of shiny black look kinda cheap. I really like that mate grey on ds3 . So going to wait 🤷‍♂️

[@2wheels575]

@@nakreidog Great choice. I am glad you are going with the DS3. Congrats and Happy riding.
