In this video I go over all the similarities and differences between the bikes in Trek's Marlin lineup, including the recent changes in 2021. I try to go in depth and cover everything you need to know to compare and contrast the bikes, and find out which one is right for you! This will cover the Marlin 4, Marlin 5, Marlin 6, and Marlin 7.

7:26 Summary Tables - บันเทิง
Corrections/Updates to video:
1) The Marlin 4 uses a freewheel, not a cassette. Cassettes are typically more expensive and faster.
2) All Marlin bikes (male/female) actually come with a curved top tube in sizes xs and s.
3) The Marlin 6 actually also has the ability to downshift up to 3 gears at a time with its M315 shifters. The Marlin 5 does not have this capability, since it actually uses M310 shifters which can only downshift up to 2 gears at a time.
4) The Marlin 7 in both years uses presta valve inner tubes while all the other bikes use schrader valves.
5) The weight of the 2021 Marlin 7 is 13.77 kg or 30.35 lbs.
6) The prices of all the 2021 bikes have slightly changed:
Marlin 5: $570
Marlin 6: $670
Marlin 7: $850
Hey bro do you no if I can buy trek chainstay armour for my marlin 7 ???
You forgot the marlin 5 is crap,very basic,took mine back to the shop after an hour rattles like a bag of nails,not for xc at all
@@clivestanton9186 1. Make sure everything on your bike is tightened properly before your first ride.
2. I have a 2017 Marlin 4. I do ride XC trails with it, but it cannot, nor was intended to be, pushed as hard as a Roscoe or X-Caliber.
3. It's not going to have a dropper and an XTR groupset for the price and is intended to be basic.
How about the rear hubs of marlin 5,6 and 7?Is it same for all?
Hi I am from India, pls reply to inquiry:- My body weight is 125 kg and high 5'10" and I am thinking for Malin 7 2021 model , is it is right for me ?
Hey mate...the review was too cool. This is what people like me look 4, u made it so easy for riders to decide. ..cheers
I second this! New to the game and was looking exactly for this.

This video is amazing! Thank you!!
*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*
BRILLIANT video. You answered all the questions I had on the differences between the Marlin models in a simple easy to understand way!
Thank you!! That’s so sweet :)
Most organized comparisons video I’ve ever seen in TH-cam , I’m really really impressed , great work 😱😍🔥
Thank you so much!
This is a great review. It really helps people like me looking to buy a new rig and trying to navigate through all the options the numerous manufacturers put out. Keep em coming!
Thank you! Glad it helped :)
Your videos are truly informative and your voice is so smooth and pleasing to listen to and follow the differences between the bikes. Really helping me make a choice on what I am looking for. :)
Aw thank you so much! That made my week :D
I watched this video and you helped me chose my first mountain bike. The Marlin 5 CHEERS!!
Nice!! I love that bike :D
And that is what we call a detailed, easy to grasp review. Best review of Marlin series yet. Getting my Marlin 7 2021 ETA 2nd week July. More power to your and channel. You’ll hit 100K subs soon 👋
Wow thank you so much!! And I hope you enjoy it :))
Thank you for making these! One nice summary of all the different trims. I wish this came out before I bought my bike, I could've saved a lot more time!
Aw thank you!
What 83 people 'disliked' this video. It is VERY well made at explaining technical differences.
For example: I was thinking of getting a Marlin 4 but now know I might as well get a Marlin 5 due to the hydraulic braking which mayb be better for all weather and require less maintenance BUT NOT to get a Marlin 6 nor 7 because it has less gears suited to leisurely travel and instead more so for trail courses albeit with a higher number of gears you can cycle through at a time for jumping to the desired speeds on sudden changes.
Thank you very much for this detailed video. I actually didn't quite realize the entire Marlin lineup was meant as entry level mountain bikes as a whole neither.
I appreciate that so much!! So glad I could help out :))
Nice! I love these videos- you really know you're stuff and give a great description of what has changed between models. Keep up the great content!
Thank you!
Thanks. Clear, direct, simple yet comprehensive information.
Thank you too!
I do really appreciate your work through detail. I will be waiting for your next video which explains the difference between rosco, xcaliber and marlin.
Rosco is for trail, xcal for xc and the marlin is for commuting. There isn't much else to it.
@@danielchmiel4143 sort of, but the Marlin 7 is a good budget XC bike in my opinion- less costly that the X-Calibur, but it still has race worthy parts. For the parts/cost I would buy a Marlin 7, or just upgrade to a Superfly for XC racing.
omg best comparison video I`ve ever found, thanks so much for this!
Perfect comparison both in graphics and information. Extremely well done 👍
Thank you!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very informative!
No problem!
thanks dude, i've been waiting a video like this for a long. Regards from Chile !
Buen video se mandó el crack. 10% fue xD
Very well done video, beautifully and understandably edited and told! Thank you! It was a great aid in deciding.
Thank you so much!
I'm just getting in to riding, absolutely outstanding video. Thank you so much.
Glad to hear you have a 5, watching the review it sounded like it'd be the one for me
Thank you as well!! Definitely appreciate that :)
Love these comparisons man! Keep it up
Way to break it down for a newb like myself, thanks.
This is best detailed info on Marlin lineup till date . thanks ..👍
Thank you so much!
I would like to see an x-caliber comparison when the 2021 models show up 🙏
Got it! I'll probably upload a video on that tomorrow.
Very helpful video, thank you. I just ordered a Marlin 7 based on your comparison. You are doing the work that Trek marketing should have done because you easily convinced me why the Marlin 7 is worth more than the lower end models.
This helped so much! Thank you. I bought my wife the Marlin 6 today. Greetings from New Zealand.
Great video, thank so much I've been wanting to get a bike started looking into the Trek Marlin and you helped clear up which bike I wanna get
You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Fantastic video and great detail,wasn’t sure about which to buy but going to place an order for the Marlin 6 now.
Once again Thank you for a great channel 🙏 🚴❤️
Thank you too!! Glad I could help :)
Fantastic video. I have minimal knowledge on these bikes but am trying to get into mountain biking. Your video does a great job at helping me select which Marlin to go with.
Thank you :)
Fantastic! I’d love to see trek road bike side by side comparisons!
Great video! U really do great job of breaking things down. I now know how to chose the bike I want.
Wow!!! Talk about a "VERY" detailed review, that anyone can understand, that my friend is slam dunk! . You hit it all, even a Devil Dog like me understand why go from one to the other. We need people like you who can articulate what we need to know. Super Job and thanks. Semper Fi Vic

Great video, great info, well made 👍🏼
You remind me of 'Casually Explained'
Great video, thank you! Trying to decide between a MTB or EMTB and this helped a lot, thank you!
AW I’M FLATTERED HAHA :D thank you too!
I'm a newbie, this video was perfect. The bikes look so good I could convince my wife to get one too I reackon
Excellent comparison ! Very simpley put and easy to understand. Just got my 6 after 9 months waiting. Was at first getting the 5 but the lockout sold me. 7 was just out of my budget cause you know there is a lot more needed accessories to buy to put on your bike including a good bike hanger for maintenance.
Thank you!! The 6 is a pretty solid bike for sure :)
Great quality video for the number of subscribers you have! Keep it up 👍
Thank you!! :D
Late to the conversation here as I just discovered this video. Your videos are outstanding! Just the right amount of detail and a focus on details that matter most to a rider. Based on this video, I just picked up a Marlin 6. Truth be know, the availability of the red color vs the 5 colors was a big draw. That said, I also like the lockout function of the front fork. I also considered the Marlin vs the Dual Sport. Your video comparing these two was also quite helpful. My decision was made easier since the Dual Sports are not available locally for me and the local dealer had a Red Marlin 6 in stock. Your comparison charts are outstanding. Really informative. Thank you for creating these videos and for sharing them with us. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate people like you who comment with nice feedback :) and I’m glad everything ended up working out with the Marlin 6!
Love the simplified explaination
Just got the 2022 6 and love it!
Very good comparison myfriend... Helps me out on my purchase decision and helps to practice my English jeje... Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽
Your video is amazing! So well organized! ;) Thnks for the explanation
Thank you!!

Thank you too!
Great review. Thanks bro.
Concise and straight to the point. Thanks
Welcome!
Such a great review! Thank you!
Thank you too!
I just got the 2021 Marlin 7 and it is such a good bike
How does it perform on urban streets ?? Can it be multi terrain ?
@AJITH KUMAR REDDY THIMMAREDDY my cousin has one and it can do quite a bit, but you might come across some parts that aren’t the greatest in quality. You may want to get grips, tires, and a seat.
AJITH KUMAR REDDY THIMMAREDDY I have a 2021 marlin 7 and have been strolling around town with it and it does the job right tho if you aren’t doing much trail riding I’d get a trek fx
Fantastic review it confirmed I needed the trek 6, would recommend it for everyday use or flat, great exercise
Thank you!! So glad it helped :)
Hi Amazing Review and video!Im ur Fan from Singapore City!

Thank you!! That’s so nice :)
Looking forward to buy TREK Marlin 5. Thanks for making such a great video
Thank you too!
Thank you! This video has been very helpful.
No problem, glad it helped :)
Great comparison vid, I have a 21 Marlin 7 and I really like it and my daughter has a 21 Marlin 5 and she really seems to like it also. Now we are just your everyday riders street, rail trails, and some woods trails. But we have lots of fun with the Marlin bikes. I would recommend!!!👍
Thank you!! And that’s awesome :)
Nice video it's clear and brilliant.
Thank you!!
Great review!!
Getting my 2021 marlin 7 in a couple days I’m really exited, thankyou for introducing me to these bike
how????????????????????????????????????????? every bike shop in the universe is sold out of all mountain bikes
Charles Reed I spent a whole day making calls and they were getting 4 of them, if u live in Cali/ Bay Area there should be a shipment of marlin 7 in like that red/yellow color way at the trek retailer in Santa Cruz in a month I believe - hope that helps out Definitely worth the money btw
Sasuke Uchiha which of the 2021 marlin 7 colors look better in person?
Nice informative video.. good job bro!!!!
Very good. Keep it up. Truly informative video. Thank you very much.
You're welcome!!
Awesome video man!

Awesome review, thanks alot
thanks bro! love the vids
Thank you too!
thanks bro! very well presented.
Best bicycle review made on TH-cam thanks 😊🙏
Been loving my Marlin 5 and agree that this bike can be used for a lotnm of trail riding dependinf on the level of trail you're riding. With that being said, I've definitely had issues with the Tourney derailers and would recomend buying nothing less than the Marlin 6 otherwise you'll be spending money later that could have gone into the bike at the of purchase.
Great video man 👍🏾 , I just bought a 2020 Marlin 5 myself! 😁🤘🏾
Excellent video! Makes me feel good that I selected the 2021 Marlin 7 over the 2020 Marlin 6. I can't wait til it arrives late July.
Same dude
That was a concise yet thorough side-by-side comparison. You deserve more subs!
Thank you! :))
wow, this video is very informative...for those who wants Marlin for their bikes...😍 easy to understand even for a beginner like me.
Glad it helped!!
