Great analysis for someone who hasn't purchased a new bike in 30 years. Thanks
Omg it’s the kent travail from berm peak
The clutch isn't there to keep the chain noise down but rather to release the chain, when you change it (Probably helps when removing the back wheel too?)
Just ordered mine!!!
Def a fake taper head tube on the Walmart bike
Terrible, terrible heavy. There are many better and cheaper bikes!
6 and 8 are not worth the money, at least in my country, Meméxico
Why are the ergonomic grips different from the one that is advertised online when you purchase the bike?
Anyone know what the narrowest tire you can put on a Marlin ? Can you , say switch to a 700c tire ?
I bought the Trouvaille when it first came out at $400 during the pandemic when bike prices were insane. Beyond the weight, I think my biggest complaints are the stock brakes are just so weak.
How many miles i can go on one charge on throttle only on regular flat streets ?
Can the seven be upgraded to a dropper post
Mostly any bike can be fitted with an externally routed dropper post, however if you want the cabling to be all internal, any gen 3 marlin bike can make that work. It's harder to do on the gen 2 marlins since they are missing a hole in the frame on the seattube near the bottom bracket, but I've seen some people find creative ways around it.
I think also no'5
Thanks bro!
You're welcome!
Thanks you for this video. This helps me a lot. I will be getting DS3
Glad it helped!!
I have the 2024 Axum comp X. And absolutely love it! It has a very solid frame! A reliable and quality built bike! I plan on changing a lot of components, but will have a better bike in the than most bike shop bikes, because I can say built not bought! It doesn’t matter what you put into it. It’s what you get out of it specially in the bicycle world think about it.
I think the X-calibers are going to get dropped from their catalogue with a lower specced Procaliber I guess there is no reason to keep them.
So sad the 520 is discontinued
Clean
What is that little thing above the frame protector at 4:52?
That's just a hole in the frame that has a spot to add a zip tie to prevent the internally routed cables of the bike from rattling around and making noise. It should be ziptied from the factory so you shouldn't have to worry about it
How wide is the rack on back? Can it hold a lot of weight, like a rack-mounted rear child seat?
I'm not a down hiller, I bought a rock hopper simply because it was down in price from £799, to £640, and I just had a gifthorse which generated £370 toward the cost. So... I actually only paid£270. What a bargain. Ok, so my one, has black matt text on a dark battleship blue satin. It's very subtle, and doesn't attract attention. What a great ride. Ive had mine a year, and I really looked after it, it's immaculate. It rides really well, at slow, (walking speed), its solid, and I have the large size, but im only 5' 7" . I did cut about an inch off each side of the handlebars, for me, they were too wide, and I still think a few more millimetres could go. The saddle was fine, but I changed it for an, ' Ego ', and slouching forward, in the neanderthal position, just annoys me, so, from, ' Halfords ', I bought an adjustable riser set at max for a more upright position. I would recomend it, but only from a town, road, and gravel track experience. It is a big, long, wide bike, but cool.👍😊
loved the bike, not the drivetrain. absolutely horrendous. Every time I rode on the trails, chain would drop or rear cassette would rub/click. Wish the frame came with the Marlin 6 1-by drivetrain
I just got this bike 2 months ago after not having a mountain bike for about 20 years. The local bike shop had one in store in XL, my size. I was looking at a Giant in the 1000 euro price range but it was only there in M size, so I spent a bit more (1350 euros plus 40 for good pedals) and got this one. The bike shop didn't make it clear to me that it was setup as tubeless. I thought it was optional and they would deliver it with tubes. So I rode around for 180 km with an inner tube patch kit. After about 1.5 months I topped up the air in the tires and noticed white fluid coming out the valve. So I contacted the bike shop and indeed it was setup with tubeless. I might have had a puncture without even noticing. Guess I'm going with the times and stick with tubeless. I plan on letting the bike shop do most of the maintenance. Support your local bike shop and all. I wouldn't know how tubeless feels compared to tubes, because the bike is so much different than the bikes 20 years ago. In all 10 years I rode in the past with tubes I never had a flat on a mountain bike. Not even when I broke the rear rim once. I must have been lucky and/or the trail and road conditions are just better where I ride. Oh boy, did mountain bikes become much better than 20 years ago. Back then for the same amount of money I had a bike that felt like it was only half the quality. The Xcaliber is a very fast bike. Excellent for the trails in our relatively flat Netherlands. And it climbs like a goat. It can climb hills that I've never been able to do in the past. Thanks for the review. So, it was 1350 euros retail price. But some online stores offer it at the moment with a discount at 999 euros. If you do your bike service yourself that might have been a cheaper option. But like I said, I like to build a good relationship with my local dealer. They had a hard time with Corona and such. And I don't mind paying full price.
Hi. I bought a second-hand bike from a second-hand shop. But the series is not visible. How do I know what model it is? I need to know what model it is because it has some defects and I need to buy some parts, and I don't know what model it is. Thank you
That bike 400 ☠️
It went on sale on the walmart website for $190 when I made this video, but unfortunately Walmart seems to have discontinued it right after that sale
Like and Subscribed!
Thank you!
Are they phasing out the Xcaliber lineup?
Not sure, but they don’t seem to be updating it so that’s a possibility. Trek does have a launch on June 27 so might get more info there
I dislike that the paintwork is so easily scratched They could have done better.
Great video, can you answer me, ⏩⏩ it is in charging mode when you pedaling? Can you charge bike when pedaling in OFF mode?
Commenting for the algorithm
hahaha thanks!
Is the 2023 gen 3 and 2024 gen 3 the same bike?
Currently yes they are the same, might see an update in the future
They are definitely in the US. Hard to find online, trek stores have them in stock.
Yes they are now, I added a pinned comment with the US prices as well!
I have done the same, bought all MTB versions and will add foam pipe cover to snug fit the smaller width rim/ tyre.
Not a bad idea with the foam pipe!
Whats the difference between a procaliber and marlin?
Procaliber is more cross country race oriented with frame geometry that puts you in a more forward position to get better pedaling efficiency, but that can make it less comfortable for everyday riding. Usually procalibers are also carbon fiber while marlins are aluminum but that’s changing for this year since we have the aluminum procaliber models that I’ll cover soon. Procalibers have higher end components, are lighter in weight, and have better frame features for mountain biking like a stronger tapered headtube for stronger suspension forks, wider boost spacing for stronger wheels, stuff like that
Thanks for the info, and for the great presentation…you’re really good at this! Is it worth it to upgrade from the Sport’s XCM to a fork with lockout if I’m mostly going to be riding on the road? I’ve been using an older 2010 Hard Rock with a fork that doesn’t lock out and I’ve just been tightening it to the max…seems to work fine, but I’m aware that I’m very slow by most road biker’s standards, haha. Just wondering if it’s worth the money, time and effort. Thanks again and have a good one!
Thank you! And I’d say anything is better if you’re coming from the 2010 bike, so you could probably do fine with the XCM and tighten the preload like you said. Having a lockout is pretty nice since it really makes that fork solid for the SR Suntour spring loaded forks so you’re more efficient, which helps on newer mountain bikes since we now have the wider handlebars and wider tires that make it slower. Getting an air fork with a lockout would be the best since you would lose a good amount of weight which helps for riding on the road. I’d say to just ride the bike out and if you start to feel slow then that could be a good upgrade. If you are mainly riding on the road though you could swap out the tires to thinner gravel style tires and that would also make you faster, but I understand if that’s not your ideal option
What about rockhopper base
Thorough and enjoyable video. Kind of wish i jad splurged and gotten the 8, but the 7 gen was on sale, and at the top end of my budget. Im mostly doing hard corss country and gravel type rides and I am absolutely loving it.
If you got the 7 on sale I’d say that’s a great buy for sure, sounds like it fits for the type of riding you’re doing as well!
@TalalipopMTB thanks for the response. I've gotten over 300km on the marlin 7 so far, about 3 weeks in. Still really enjoying it, though I'm still looking at what else I could have gotten lol. The xcaliber is probably more geared towards my type of riding, but the 7 was already a pretty big financial splurge for me, so spending even more was kind of out of the question...
Just drill the hole guys. They forgot to drill it when they sent the plans to the Chinese factory where they are made. Their stupidity
Now change those maxxis tires and maybe the brake system
Where im from the talon 2 uses a xcm 30 instead so i wanna ask if its any different from the xct 30
Let’s go! Thanks for the info
You’re welcome!
5K for HT bike is too much 😢. I really like TREK but is so overpriced...
Yeah definitely is, I’m hoping that’s not the actual price with how the bike industry is doing these days but who knows with Trek sometimes hahaha
Give me that.😭😭😭😭😭
My dad just like just got me a 2024 gen 3 because he got a fuel ex 8 last year. I have been using his old Kona. So I’m very happy for it to arrive.
Is the X-cal 7 good for commuters am thinking of buying either marlin 6 or X-cal 7 any advices ?
This or Specialized sirrus x 4.0 ?
It’s beautiful. But I’d rather have the same bike with aluminum.
I im eu and i have us trek
Just test drove this at my local bike shop. Shifted much smoother than the doere. He is selling ot for 700 with kickstand included. Should i go for it.
