2024 Trek Marlin 5: Budget-Friendly Mountain Bike with Premium Features

[@stevebarnes9345]

"Decopauge " perfect !!!! As you were searching for the word/ so were we!!!! You got it!!! I was still stuck when you came up with it!!!! What a relief!

[@kiwi22207]

Just bought this exact. So far it is awesome and is actually faster on pavement than my dual sport.

[@dawatchdog]

What gen DS do you have?

[@kiwi22207]

@@dawatchdog I had the gen 3.

[@koyfam]

@@kiwi22207interesting. I just got this bike as well but was contemplating returning it for a dual sport 3 gen 5. Do you have both?

[@kiwi22207]

I sold my dual sport 2. I wouldn't return it and pay 300 more unless weight is extremely important to you. You will not find the dual sport any faster I think.

[@koyfam]

@@kiwi22207 thanks! That’s what I needed to hear. Being lighter and possibly faster on paved trails with ability to do some light trails was intriguing but I could not justify the $300+ price tag. So far I like the Marlin.

[@akos81]

The HT angle is 66.5. The difference may not seem important, however it makes one significant difference between the Trek Roscoe lineup.

[@gazg00]

Colour is awesome!!

[@DOOMER4748]

Yeah I wanted it but they only had medium large for it and I’m medium so I got the black and red

[@BenDalianis]

Just bought 2 of these. Excellent quality, feels great riding and we're really enjoying them! Cheers all!

[@kiwi22207]

I bought one and my wife loved it so much she copied me.

[@BenDalianis]

Nice! Yeah, we're loving ours and ride almost everyday. Upgraded the pedals to some nicer Trek ones and changed the grips for a bit more palm comfort. Low cost and worth it. 🤘

[@AndrewMcGhie]

What type of surface do you guys primarily ride? Glad to hear you like them. @kiwi22207 @bendalianis

[@BenDalianis]

More often than not it's packed gravel or hard packed woodsy dirt trails. You?

[@kiwi22207]

@AndrewMcGhie I mostly ride to work with it. Paved roads. Taken it on some gravel and dirt paths too.

[@xXDeathPlayXx]

I love this color variant!! Sad that these are not available here in Japan.

[@jonathanbautista3138]

I have a marlín to ride around the house during the week when no available to go ride in the mountains it’s great for pavement and also to have fun around the city a great bike I will go for 7 but yes this is my 3 or 4 marlin

[@AndrewMcGhie]

Great to hear, big help for my tough decision between this and DS

[@X41N3]

I love that paint scheme and the geo updates

[@vbBegin1957]

wow nice really awesome and the dropper post is already cabled all i have to do is get the dropper post and hook it with the ready cable and thats it nice added feature

[@nbzness]

literally just won this bike gifted from my city :)

[@2342anthony]

I love my bike so much 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🔥🔥

[@chryslertechnician3439]

Just got mine I love it

[@quixy7134]

What size did u get?

[@Sjksk752]

getting this for my first mtb is it worth it? cause i’m gonna be hitting jumps on it

[@boneTHUGS111]

Looks better than my 2020 version

[@shredderofstrings3223]

I got a walmart bike. The chain fell out the first ten minutes. I was devastated. Im looking at someething like this. Is this a good first(i refuse to count the walmart bike as the first) mtb?

[@jaguey7288]

I almost bought one from Walmart and I didn't see good quality. I put a little more money and bought the Marlin 5 Gen 3 2024 and I’m sure I did the right thing .

[@edgartokman4898]

Beautiful bike it's like hitting the lottery

[@jeffcarr2265]

Very nice, I like it.

[@cosworthization]

What a gorgeous bike especially the paint scheme. WOW

[@BlazinBlades]

I wanted to love this bike but the L is too cramped for me and the XL’s reach is too long Couldn’t find the right size. Jumped on a Marin Bobcat trail in L and booooom - immediate connection

[@manolos8230]

Is 1*9 good for a drive train ?

[@bengaming1964]

Much better and durable as well as easier to use 3x drive train isbetter for city

[@harrygrimley4352]

Very interesting 🤔. I still think I'd go marlin 6.

[@vivandhotre8115]

Is this colour available in India

[@IIISentorIII]

India version has two wheels in the back.

[@paranoid8060]

Merida big nine 40 kullanıyorum bu modele geçmeye değer mi arasında çok fark olurmu?

[@derekmcloughlin657]

How does this compare to the vitus nucleus hard tail

[@uronuklearec9745]

did i get screwed if i didnt get this one, but got the Gen 2 2023? thanks for the vid!

[@pourindiesel]

No

[@kylo557]

nah gens usually dont really matter

[@j.j-x4g]

It’s almost like a patina or something like that

[@owen8538]

[@luismendez-tu7mr]

[@oscarpastry.]

[@luismendez-tu7mr]

@@oscarpastry. don’t bother, I just did it and it worked 🤟🏼

[@MiguelGonzalez-kt5mg]

I already have a marlin 5, but it is showing its age, do you think it is worth to upgrade to a new gen trek marlin 5?

[@danieldeponte2631]

66.5 degree head angle ¨¨

[@CertifiedStepper]

Kinda expensive for what you get I'd expect atleast a cheap air fork

[@thawzinlinaae1716]

This bike is not budget in my country😢

[@manolos8230]

Is that color for dudes ?

[@Sangram-IND]

[@melanieblouin2920]
