[@MIsterioStudios]

That's a seriously good looking ride. Enjoy!

[@TalalipopMTB]

Thank you!

[@TheDiablosix6six]

I have a fuel ex 9.8 and it's a great all rounder!! Can climb, descend and if u want, can do xc!!

[@TalalipopMTB]

Awesome!! That’s a great one for sure

[@derekhellmann515]

Man Talali, you are always upbeat. I'll have what your having. lol

[@TalalipopMTB]

Hahahah thank you!

[@isserdigan2835]

I have the same bike. Its very light. I have to change crank and chain ring to Shimano Xt. Shifter to Xt too. Brakes came with DB8 Sram.

[@TalalipopMTB]

That’s awesome!! Good choice in upgrades for sure

[@isserdigan2835]

​​​@@TalalipopMTB mine was the 2023 and it had slx shifter xt deraileur and slx casette. I changed them to XT set up. Kinda bummed they changed the brakes to Sram db8. I wanted the M6100 brakes. The rotors are huge though. I also change the the handle bar to carbon

[@14DAVEYO]

[@TalalipopMTB]

Thank you! hahaha

[@nalissa77]

Congratulations! You're on a roll! Pun intended. lol

[@TalalipopMTB]

Hahaha thank you!!

[@johnnyk6906]

Trek always make a good looking bikes. with inventory now returning to some what "normal" I wonder if the prices of these bikes return to pre-pandamic range?

[@samharris3508]

Inflation has a lot to do with that unfortunately. Unless we go through a recession. Prices for everything is going to be high.

[@MyMTBVideoYouTube]

Great videos. Thank you

[@TalalipopMTB]

Of course!

[@davestrauss8015]

That’s a nice bike 🥇👍🏻.

[@TalalipopMTB]

Thanks!

[@alex-zh5yv]

is Trek going to have a black friday sale this year?

[@ukkilukki3620]

Can u do video about Trek Marlin 7 gen 3?

[@TalalipopMTB]

Yeah I’ll make videos on all of those when they are officially released in the US!

[@ukkilukki3620]

@@TalalipopMTB Good👍

[@markwilsonrepollo9079]

Always watch your video

[@TalalipopMTB]

Thank you!

[@kylelongstaff]

so true. they make the frames so expensive and always out of stock so might aswell get the whole bike xD

[@TalalipopMTB]

hahaha exactly

[@alejandrogarzonbarrios2706]

Hi Man, thanks for the video. Do you know if there is much difference between sizes M/L and L?Someone is selling me a trek with size M/L but checking trek’s guidelines my size should be L but M/L is too close. I am 1.80cm, could work for me also the M/L size?

[@TalalipopMTB]

They are different enough to notice, but it won't be so small that you won't have a good time riding it. I have a friend who is around 177cm, and he rides a size M/L Trek mtb and also has a size L, and is fine with them both. Either size will work for you; the M/L will be a smaller and more nimble bike that is more maneuverable, while the L is a slightly bigger bike that will be more stable at high speeds.

[@alejandrogarzonbarrios2706]

@@TalalipopMTB Thanks man!

[@UltimateLegoProductions123]

Do you think slash 8 is better than fuel ex 9.7 there pretty similar in price

[@joshypriora1424]

Yes the slash 8 is way better

[@yousefibrahim3468]

awesome!! did you get rid of your Roscoe 7? I am still trying ot decide between the Roscoe 7 or the Fuel EX line

[@TalalipopMTB]

Nope still have both. I’ll see if I want to have both long term after I ride them more!

[@likeris2]

nice bike, but why not Top Fuel? I love top fuel, but I have bought slash. no steep trails in my area, but just for looks of bike.

[@joshuaallswang8016]

You literally make no sense

[@rashman763]

I biught the roscoe 7 blue like ur video

[@zacmorrish7705]

when are you gonna review the gen 3 marlins

[@TalalipopMTB]

When they get released in the US

[@Jerichojm]

I thought the 9.7 comes with the slx drivetrain?

[@TalalipopMTB]

That’s the 2022 model, this one’s the 2021

[@markwilsonrepollo9079]

I want trek Marlin 7 XS gen 3 2023 model tnx.. GOD BLESS

[@Jacob99174]

First an Emonda Now this??

[@TalalipopMTB]

HAHA oops

[@timothy7768]

Man i have to say i need your bank account the way you are buying the new bikes. Thats a nice bike, you should do a video of all the bikes you own. you must have a special garage to house all of your bikes?

[@TalalipopMTB]

Yeah I’m hoping to do a full collection overview sometime soon! Sounds really fun. And if by special garage you mean every room in my house, yes

[@kylelongstaff]

Gen 5 is nasty when you take in the Gen 6 suspension and adjustability. Like there's actually no reason to buy a gen 5 these days.

[@joshuaallswang8016]

Weirdo

[@michaelmichaelagnew8503]

Now you have to upgrade everything to at least Mid grade.

[@markwilsonrepollo9079]

Sir I know u have many bike give one bike for service only for work tnx GOD BLESS

[@cranksbuddies9873]

I'm sure only the frame will remain there. /peace

[@Drogos79]

gen 6 fuel ex in alu will ride better and be more efficient than gen 5 in carbon. Just sayin

[@joshuaallswang8016]

Who cares. There’s people on Hardtail’s who can outride almost anyone on anything. Be smart

[@technician-xr9dy]

Do a 0-60 test 😂😂

[@TalalipopMTB]

HAHA 😂

[@Blake953]

For myself, it is ethier the Trek Fuel EX 9.7 or the Top Fuel 8. You get teh Trek Fuel you are basically just buying a frame. My understating is that the components of the Trek Fuel are all supbar.

[@oldkicker8958]

I bought an EX8 a few months ago now I’m scratching my head.

[@TalalipopMTB]

hahaha why? That bike is pretty amazing as well, great parts on it for sure

[@FKFAiRGAMING]

Bro pls you come in islam
