One thing is for sure, the more you ride the better you can get and start riding harder and harder trails. I personally have an 800 dollar used full suspension and that ain't stopping me from riding the hardest trails in my country.
That’s awesome that you’re near Folsom, Ca. I live in between Sacramento and Chico and rarely find content creators near me. Thank you for the video! It looks dry and hot, but fun nonetheless.
I’m so glad to hear that someone nearby saw this! And yes it was definitely pretty dry and hot unfortunately but I usually try to go earlier in the morning so it’s better.
Awesome, You are doing great. For my Marlin 5 (which turned to be a 2019) I already got a microShift 11 speed group and ordered a new crankset. I am switch to 1x11 soon. So far I've only changed the grips and the pedals.
I like your idea about when to upgrade. Very good plan. Can't wait to see the build start! You did good on the trail, props man. I can notice your improvement every video.
Ordered my orange Marlin 5 yesterday. Won't get it until November unfortunately due to back order. Your video's helped me make the decision to get this bike. I think it's more than enough bike for what I need it for. Iv'e had my Trek 820 since 2003 and figured I was due. Looking forward to rolling around on the 29 inch tires.
Enjoyed watching your videos as a new mountain bike rider myself. I have the 2021 Marlin 5 in medium orange and I absolutely love it (no upgrades yet). A few things I noticed about your video (definitely not criticizing, but just noticing). 1) yes, the camera was pointing too far down, and I had this problem at first too (if it doesn't point high enough right side up, turn it upside down on the mount and make sure you orientation is set to auto), 2) does your camera have stabilization because some of the footage is very difficult to watch because of the shake (my Hero 8 Black is very stable, even on Super View), 3) although this may have been a step up from previous trails, I would still personally consider it a beginner trail (despite the bumpiness, it didn't seem to have any technical challenges or steep grades). On the other hand, I loved your commentary while riding and it's great to see videos from beginners who are willing to be vulnerable, honest, and helpful. Good job!
Thank you!! Yeah I actually don't use a go pro in my videos since I couldn't afford one initially, but I will try one out in my next video and that should hopefully be better for the camera quality and shakiness. The trail was rated as intermediate online so that's what I figured it was, but on the camera I did notice the drops and other obstacles didn't seem as steep or intense. There's not too many intermediate rated trails around here, so maybe this one's just more beginner/intermediate.
Talalipop MTB Sweet, I will look forward to your video with the GoPro, I think it will be a huge improvement for you. If you get a chance, check out the video I just posted to my channel called “Stephen’s Park Mountain Biking - Derecho aftermath of 2020”. Our local trails got devastated by straight line winds recently, and I was riding one of them with my Marlin 5 to see how it faired. It’s considered an “intermediate” trail as well, but I think these definitions cover a wide gamut. At any rate, I get passed by a jogger during an uphill climb, which was a little humiliating. Lol. Take care.
Great video. So glad to hear you’re not upgrading parts (yet) for your reviews, in order to see what the bike can do completely stock. I’ve changed the seat and pedals on my 2021 Marlin 5 and it definitely has improved both the comfort (seat) and performance (pedals) of the bike. Always look forward to your videos on the Marlin 5, thanks for making them. Look forward to seeing what else it can do on more intermediate trails and hearing what your thoughts are on upgrades when the time comes.
Morgan Lingsweiler I went with the Bontrager Commuter Comp Bike Saddle 185mm width. I typically ride 45min to 1 hour between 7-10 miles and the seat has made a world of difference. Still looks like a sport saddle, but wide enough and soft enough to fit my seat bones comfortably. The Arvada was very uncomfortable, had to swap it out after my second ride.
@@morganlingsweiler9813 Honestly I agree; the bike seat is not too comfortable but I was hoping it would wear in and become better. I'm still using the same one that came with the bike.
@@TalalipopMTB Yeah i agree with him. I'd only upgrade if that is what get views. If not get the roscoe. He's right, the marlin is alot more agile compared to roscoe. Roscoe is a tank on the trails haha.
As a commuter the stock pedals are fine. But of you're going trail riding I would upgrade them. The added shoe grip made a world of difference on my 2019 marlin 7.
On my marlin I bought the bontrager pro line. Solid grip but about $100 from the bike shop. There are cheaper solid pedals out there but I don't have personal experience with them.
I have purchased a set of fooker pedals off Amazon for about $30. For my sons bike. I have run two trail rides and good grip to the shoes. Fookers are a knock off of the Race Face Chesters the Chester's run around $50.
Get a Velcro chainstay protector they’re around £5 I have a lizard skins one for my trek marlin 5 and it’s great. Protects your frame from chainslap and also makes the ride quieter and will improve the vids since there is little/ no rattling.
The marlin came with a rubber chain protector so I figured that would do the job. Is velcro even better? Now that I think about it it might be but i’m not completely sure.
Talalipop MTB well rubber is decent but the neoprene is better protection wise, plus with the extra rubber it’ll be even quieter. Depending on the thickness of the rubber it mightn’t last too long if you’re riding bumpy trails. Another benefit of a neoprene protector is it hides your gear cable if you’re into that sorta thing

Please can someone tell a good beginner MTB that is also good for commuting. Here are my options: Giant Talon 3, Trek Marlin 5/6, Diamondback Overdrive, Gt Aggressor sport and Cannondale Trail 8. Can someone give me an answer it's driving me crazy
Fearless Memes I think they are all good bikes, when I was doing all my research the Trek Marlin 5 fit my budget the best and gave me the most value for what I was looking to get out of it, an entry level MTB that could also serve as a solid XC/Road/Fitness bike. I haven’t tried the other bikes and I’ve only had Treks for the last 20 years, so I may be a bit biased. Either way, whatever you choose you’ll end up loving, just pick one and get out there and ride! If you’re specifically looking for more MTB worthy beginner back Marlin 6 or 7 is your best bet with Trek for good price with lots of value. Good luck!
Thanks! And I usually just rinse off the bike with my hose, on a medium pressure setting so I don’t damage anything. If it’s really dirty I’ll use dawn dish soap and a towel and that should be fine!
I have marlin 5 2019 model women's small. It got slx m7000 shifters and derailleurs 3 x 11. Smooth in shiftings during trails and uphills. I'm a beginner and still scared for downhill. What do you use for groupset?
Hahaha my marlin 5 is completely stock so I use the shimano tourney groupset! I’m sure you’ll be fine with that groupset as long as you build up your biking skills enough :) and ofcourse higher end groupsets would perform better but I feel like you can definitely make do.
I wouldn't upgrade much. I have my 2017 Trek Marlin 6 and ride blacks fine with it. Though ready to move to a new bike and retire Marlin to commuter or bikepacking
That’s amazing! I hope to ride black trails as well and see how the marlin does, but it’s always nice to hear reassuring comments about the marlin’s capabilities. I might save the marlin and get a new bike too, but I’ll see as I progress and do more research on parts.
Thanks for sharing! Just curious - what do you think made this trail rated 'intermediate'? Was it the downhill speeds, the bumpy surface rocks, or what? I am always interested in peoples' opinions on how trails are rated. Keep the videos coming!
I never thought about that! But comparing it to the easier trails I rode before, it was definitely a lot bumpier and required more concentration when I was going over those bigger rocks and dirt, as well as trying to avoid obstacles like the long grass and sharp rocks here and there. It was also longer and definitely had steeper uphill and downhill parts.
Hahaha I think that's probably the chain slapping against the bike when the terrain is bumpy; most bikes at this price point will be louder than more expensive ones. There is also a front derailleur which the chain can bump into as well.
I'm not too sure actually; my bike shop set it up for me and when I asked them they just said they put it in the average range since I didn't seem too weigh too little or too much.
Hi, i am planning to for marlin 5 or 6. i have seen the differences on your videos, but still not able to decide. my rides will be mainly on roads and some gravel roads.
For that type of riding I would personally go more toward the Dual Sport or FX, or perhaps a gravel bike since those are faster and lighter, but if you’re set on the marlin series, I agree that’s a tough decision. The marlin 6 has the hydraulic lockout so you will go faster on flat areas, but the marlin 5 has more speeds that are better for road use. I think I would personally choose the marlin 6 since you don’t lose too many speeds going from 21 to 16, but I would recommend test riding them both if you can to see how they feel and if they are fast enough on the road.
I got a size M/L and I’m around 5’7 - 5’8, it’s a bit large and I feel like a medium would be easier to handle, but when I test rode both I just preferred the wider handlebars on the M/L.
I tried switching more than that but it wasn’t working further than 2 gears for me :( but maybe i’m missing something. I know higher end bikes can switch more gears though. And unfortunately the seat doesn’t lower further than that because it has a really long seat post; I think i’ll just have to cut it eventually.
Nice! And that's so sweet! I would say just come to Trek Sacramento, but because of covid we're not letting too many people in the store right now unless they need service or something so it's unfortunate timing I guess :(
I’m watching your video I like how you describe your bike and I’m planning to buy the marlin 6 but I need to know more about this bike if you make a video would be nice .Thank you keep riding
Ive made a video comparing all the marlin models! And I’ve also made a video of me test riding the marlin 6 along with some other trek bikes and I gave my opinion on it there too :)
So far they do, but I have heard through other forums and videos that it’s not that great of a system, which makes sense considering it’s the most entry level shimano groupset. For this bike and the trails i’ve ridden thus far I would say it’s totally fine though, and though other drivetrains and groupsets would be smoother, faster, quieter, etc I don’t think this one has too many problems.
It's the same derailleur that you'll find on very cheap bikes, but the difference is that the whole drivetrain except the shifters are Shimano Tourney (cassette, cranks, derailleurs). So everything integrates nicely. Altus shifters are one step higher, and the shifters are more important than the derailleur. I've never ridden the Marlin, but I had an old Diamondback with Tourneys, tuned at my LBS, and it was smooth.
I think it’s worth it; there aren’t many changes from 2021 but in my opinion through these videos it’s a great bike and I love it. It’s also great if you don’t want to spend a lot more money.
I’ve got a 2021 Trek Marlin 5 with about 40 miles under my belt. It’s a great entry level MTB bike for the price if you’re looking at just getting into the sport and also plan on using it for commutes or fitness rides on paved paths and trails.

Dont upgrade! Save the money for a Roscoe 7 or 8 for the trails. Keep the Marlin for a daily commuter / back packing bike.
I am actually considering that as well, but I want to do more research on parts first and see if it’s a logical decision or not.
@@TalalipopMTB Yeah i agree with him. I'd only upgrade if that is what get views. If not get the roscoe. He's right, the marlin is alot more agile compared to roscoe. Roscoe is a tank on the trails haha.

Do you know why the Marlin (No matter what version) makes that loud sound? Like if some part will fall from the bike

@@TalalipopMTB yes but trek could add shimano altus in the 2021 version .
It's the same derailleur that you'll find on very cheap bikes, but the difference is that the whole drivetrain except the shifters are Shimano Tourney (cassette, cranks, derailleurs). So everything integrates nicely. Altus shifters are one step higher, and the shifters are more important than the derailleur.
