    2023 Trek Marlin 6 Video: • THE 2023 TREK MARLIN 6...
    In this video I cover all the updates and changes to the Trek Marlin 8 from 2022 to 2023. The bike in this video is specifically the 2023 Trek Marlin 8 Gen 3, and it has a brand new, redesigned frame with modern geometry that is much better for hardtail mountain biking, and it even has a dropper post! Check out this video and my channel to see all the changes to these awesome bikes!! (2023 Marlin Gen 3 comparison video next!)

    Hey man, it's obvious how much you love bikes and I hope you land in a shop that deserves your passion, knowledge, and dedication. Trek U is helpful, but I come to your page when I want the scoop without the marketing or quizzes :p

    Recently bought the Marlin Gen 2 over the 3. Glad I did now as I dont think the new model is worth the additional cost.

    Great video. I hope you get another job at a good/bigger bike store that deals with all brands. That way you can do more reviews on different brands also.

    I sold my medium marlin 7 last year but i miss riding trails and this looks so good, i’m going to go small this time as the medium was a bit too big for me even tho i’m 5.7

    Great video. New bikes should be lighter not heavier. But, I welcome the through excel.

    • @TalalipopMTB
      @TalalipopMTB  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah I agree they should be lighter, but I guess trek is trying to move away from lightweight XC marlins to more trail ready ones so maybe that wasn’t as much of a priority

  • @masterjack8222
    @masterjack8222 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I get the point of the lower end marlin but for the marlin 8, shouldnt we just opt for the x caliber ? as they are relatively close in price

    • @TalalipopMTB
      @TalalipopMTB  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I personally like the new marlin over the x caliber because of more trail ready geometry, but if you want a lightweight XC bike then x cal is the way to go. I think going from marlin 8 to roscoe 7 makes more sense thoufh

    Hello, can you tell me please?
    Will the Marlin 4 Gen 3 series be produced? Or will the Marlin 4 and 5 never be produced again?

    • @TalalipopMTB
      @TalalipopMTB  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Trek Marlin 4 and 5 won’t have a gen 3 model, but the gen 2 models of those bikes will still be sold

    the gen 3 Small frame is no longer curved so that kind of bums me out since i was a in betweener lol.

    Why can’t they just freakin make it boost thru axles? Sheesh

    • @TalalipopMTB
      @TalalipopMTB  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Trek told me it just cost too much for the price range they wanted the bike to be in (have to consider more expensive frame, axle, hub, and wheel)

    On my 11 old Trek bike I have a labei alpha gold aluminium.
    There is no place where silver and gold alpha aluminium are explained. And nothing like this exists outside Trek.
    It seems to be a fake.

      I Know right they should have done a tapered head tube and boost on front and rear. Crazy that they didn't.
