The bike in this video is specifically the 2024 Trek Marlin 5 Gen 3, and it has a brand new, redesigned frame with modern geometry that is much better for hardtail mountain biking.

Just got one in green. Great bike and the 1x is an upgrade that is great.
*please read* anyone with a Gen 2 wanting to install a Gen 3 chainstay guard know that it can be done but you'll need to cut off the metal shift cable tabs or else the guard will not fit. Trek sells touch up paint and the new guard will cover the work you've done as well. Just did this for my Marlin.
Just brought the gen 3 hoping to have some fun
Good informative video!
Could you make one on the new Roscoe models?
Thanks! And yes I will once there's some more info/pictures on them on the Trek website
I am a newbie looking to buy marlin 5 gen 3. I will use it for commute but also for trails equally. I want to know if S size comes with straight body/tube or curved one? ( I wish to go for straight tube which is not available in gen 2 for S size).
Also I want your suggestion on choosing marlin 5 gen 3 or some other model in trek in the same or higher price for more of a hybrid type of bike which is useful for regular commute but also equally great for trails/gravels.
good upgrades , there is still the dual sports for commuting . i was at a local trek shop last week and saw (i think) a Roscoe 6 in a lime yellow with the new frame for around $1150 but don’t see it on Treks website so now i’m doubting my memory
The new generation Roscoe 6 is at the local Trek shop by me and has major improvements over the previous generation. I don’t know why it isn’t on their website because it is definitely in the shop.
Yeah for some reason haven't seen those on the Trek website but I have seen them leaked on the web here and there. I'll look into those as well!
You arent wrong- I rode the new 2024 Roscoe 6 last weekend and had to call the shop this morning because I couldnt for the life of me figure out what it was. New 9spd shimano drivetrain, 140mm (!!) suntour shock, and it appears to have the upgraded geometry the rest of the Roscoe lineup got in 2022. At 1199 I could see it becoming Treks number 1 selling mtb pretty easily. I'll probably end up buying it the next time I can get over to that particular shop
How do I adjust the brakes on this bike ?? I got one 4 months ago and haven’t been able to adjust the brakes.
I'm looking at a couple Diamondbacks but I'm also looking at the Trek Marlin fired into but I wanted to watch this video but I got to spend only around 600 Buck's❤❤❤
Dang and I have a Marlin 4 wish I would gotten the 7 at least
Great. Any news about the X-Caliber 9 replacement?
No news about that one yet unfortunately, but I’ll release a video as soon as I hear about it!
Hi how are you? My main question is should I buy the GEN 2 or GEN 3... I dont really go to the mountain, I use it to ride around the city and yeah maybe some hills.. what I dont understand is the one-by or two-by... what does that do really? What do you recommend for me thank you?
I got the Marlin 6 but I might get that purple just for the hell of it
That purple is definitely awesome
Also you can officially upgrede the gen 3 to a 120 mm fork while on the gen 2 only 100 mm were allowed by trek without loosing the guarantee.
Hy, very informative video bro. Would be posible to convert this bike to 1x12 drivetrain?. In that case, which set would you recommend to get the most out of this bike? 1x9 is definitely short, but i really love the purple color... also it's time to change my old marlin 5 from 2018 :]
I just turned my Marlin 5 Gen and was going to order a X-caliber 9. Is there a 2024 X-caliber 8 and 9 coming out should I hold off?
Haven’t heard anything about the new X-Cals yet so I’d say you’re fine getting them right now, but we may see new ones in the near future. They’re due for an update so I’m hoping for early next year
Whene do you think th xcal 8 2024 wil be available
Not sure, hoping early next year since Trek hasn’t updated those bikes in forever. Seems like they’re kinda putting those off but they’re definitely due for an upgrade soon
Is it recommended to put a 140mm travel fork?
And anything else? They have a roscoe already!!!
@@robo1989 I'm referring to marlin frame. Any thoughts?
Trek recommends a maximum fork travel of 120mm for this bike to not mess up the geometry too much.
Can this bike be used for trail riding
Definitely!
15kg? Damn
I like the new 1x drivetrain, but don’t like the Gen3 being 2.5 lbs heavier that’s noticeable…
is a 2022 rockhopper comp 29 better than the marlin 5 gen 3?
Rockhopper hasn’t been updated in a while, so I personally like the gen 3 marlins more and think they are better suited for the trail
@@TalalipopMTB i pretty much want a reliable bike, which isnt too heavy and is gonna survive some crashes
Both of those work for that purpose, I’d go marlin for trail riding and rockhopper if you want to use it for everyday riding too, but both will be fine at mountain biking and road riding if you’re really liking one over the other
@@TalalipopMTB alr thanks
It seems like trek is slowly making the marlins more for trail riding over commuting.
Definitely!
What is your best guess for when it will be available in the US?
Probably later this year would be my guess or latest early next year
@@TalalipopMTBstill thinking the same? Or some new word?
Does the gen 3 has a dropper post ?
Not for this bike specifically, but you are able to buy and add an internal or external dropper post in the future if you want to
1.1 kg heavier😢
because of more trail geometry of the frame and tire width
