Colour is awesome!!

[@stevebarnes9345]

"Decopauge " perfect !!!! As you were searching for the word/ so were we!!!! You got it!!!
I was still stuck when you came up with it!!!! What a relief!

[@X41N3]

I love that paint scheme and the geo updates

[@akos81]

The HT angle is 66.5. The difference may not seem important, however it makes one significant difference between the Trek Roscoe lineup.

[@kiwi22207]

Just bought this exact. So far it is awesome and is actually faster on pavement than my dual sport.

[@dulajish]

What gen DS do you have?

[@kiwi22207]

@@dulajish I had the gen 3.

[@xXDeathPlayXx]

I love this color variant!! Sad that these are not available here in Japan.

[@jeffcarr2265]

Very nice, I like it.

[@BenDalianis]

Just bought 2 of these. Excellent quality, feels great riding and we're really enjoying them! Cheers all!

[@kiwi22207]

I bought one and my wife loved it so much she copied me.

[@BenDalianis]

Nice! Yeah, we're loving ours and ride almost everyday. Upgraded the pedals to some nicer Trek ones and changed the grips for a bit more palm comfort. Low cost and worth it. 🤘

[@paranoid8060]

Merida big nine 40 kullanıyorum bu modele geçmeye değer mi arasında çok fark olurmu?

[@derekmcloughlin657]

How does this compare to the vitus nucleus hard tail

[@2342anthony]

I love my bike so much 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🔥🔥

[@owen8538]

[@harrygrimley4352]

Very interesting 🤔. I still think I'd go marlin 6.

[@MiguelGonzalez-kt5mg]

I already have a marlin 5, but it is showing its age, do you think it is worth to upgrade to a new gen trek marlin 5?

[@uronuklearec9745]

did i get screwed if i didnt get this one, but got the Gen 2 2023? thanks for the vid!

[@pourindiesel]

No

[@BlazinBlades]

I wanted to love this bike but the L is too cramped for me and the XL’s reach is too long
Couldn’t find the right size.
Jumped on a Marin Bobcat trail in L and booooom - immediate connection

[@shredderofstrings3223]

I got a walmart bike. The chain fell out the first ten minutes. I was devastated. Im looking at someething like this. Is this a good first(i refuse to count the walmart bike as the first) mtb?

[@jaguey7288]

I almost bought one from Walmart and I didn't see good quality. I put a little more money and bought the Marlin 5 Gen 3 2024 and I’m sure I did the right thing .

[@jakestergangster3372]

rear hub issues and easy bend axle in the rear end!

[@luismendez-tu7mr]

can I set this same tires on a 29er marlin 4..?

[@oscarpastry.]

no

[@luismendez-tu7mr]

@@oscarpastry. don’t bother, I just did it and it worked 🤟🏼

[@jacobramirez5935]

It’s almost like a patina or something like that

[@Sangram-IND]

❤❤❤

[@danieldeponte2631]

66.5 degree head angle ¨¨

[@CertifiedStepper]

Kinda expensive for what you get I'd expect atleast a cheap air fork
