My first ride on the NEW 2022 Trek Marlin 8!!

- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2021
- First off, I just want to say that I am as fresh as they come in the mtb community! (In fact this is my first official mtb.) Very fortunate to get my hands on this good lookin' hardtail and thought I'd make a quick video showing it off, as it's still so new that there isn't a lot on the internet about it yet. Trek brings the Marlin 8 in above the 2021 Marlin 7, most likely replacing the X-caliber 7 model. So far it hasn't disappointed, and I can't wait to test this bike's limits (and myself as I learn.)
Via Trek's website:
"Marlin 8 is a race-worthy mountain bike that won’t break the bank. The smooth, lightweight RockShox fork, tubeless ready wheels, and wide-range 1x drivetrain make this model the best choice for new riders who want a fast cross country hardtail that will hold its own against our higher-end race bikes."

Hey, im picking this bike up tommorrow, i ordered the ML size and I havent written a bike since i was 13 (im 37 now). Wish me luck!
Tbh marlin 8 is a waste of money, the xcalibers are better with the front thru axle and stiffer lighter frame
@@mapleleafmtb8399 i’m gonna buy my first mtb, considering should i buy a marlin 8 or x caliber 7, what do you think? Thank you
@@nguyenbinhnguyen5231 I think you should just go for the X-caliber 8. 12 speed drive train, comes tubeless ready, thru axle and it has much better hubs and parts speced for XC. Marlin 8 just isn’t worth it anymore.
@@mapleleafmtb8399 thank you a lot
@@nguyenbinhnguyen5231 no problem :)
Super high-quality content!
Had my Marlin 8 for a month now and I'm very happy with the bike so far and I'm not looking to go all extreme downhill or anything this bike is perfect for anything I'm ever gonna throw at it..street riding trail ripping ect
Just picked up this exact same bike today and can’t wait to ride it!
this vid makes me to buy this model.. crazy mood and video making skill..!!
Beautifully shot video . Look forward to more adventures on your marlin 8 ! .
Right? The color looks awesome
Beautiful!! The bike and the trail. I have a marlin as well :)
I wish they were in stock here
...
@@bigsnugga i feel ya mate, been waiting for an alma h10 eagle for several months too. might pick this bad boy up instead
I just got my Marlin 7 in Miami green. Pretty awesome so far. Upgraded to orange Race Face pedals and hand grips. Super nice colour combo :)
super high quality cinematic video
Thank you! 👍🏻
More videos, please and thank you sir! 👍
I am NOT a Mountain Biker. I recently owned a Marlin (5) and used it ONLY for city riding and on city trails. After years of road cycling it was an excellent change of pace. Now I’m considering moving up a level to the Marlin (8). What are the major differences between the (5 and 8) and is the (8) worth buying over the (5) for the type of city riding I enjoy!
Great video! Which camera did you use to shoot the video? The color grading is phenomenal!
hi, i was wondering if there is a manual clutch on this bike?
Since you got the Marlin 8 what PSI do you choose to set the tyres?
Underrated
Color grading 😍😍
Trek rules! What is the wording on the rear downframe?
Got my marlin 7 during pandemic i had to call and show up non stop 😂
I just put maxxis aggressor 29x3.0 on back and it fits
I buy my marlin 6 today for $789 plus accessories trek but I don’t know if this bike is good for normal bike trails no crazy trails for sure!! good bike for crazy trails is full suspension like $4500 to $9000 trek bike.. but let’s try
Beautiful video! I was choosing between Specialized Rockhopper Expert 2021 and Trek Marlin 8 2022, I chose Trek but I have to wait 8 months to be delivered as they are out of stock in Europe, cannot wait to ride this bad boy! Are you happy with the bike overall? :)
Very happy with the bike!
I just got that bike yesterday, i looked it up the same day and they had one left in store 10min from my house :D
@@nokkemao9339 I bought X Caliber 8 instead Marlin and it is absolute bomb, I love it! It was last one in stock in whole country. 😂 Enjoy your ride!
What do u think is the sram sx eagle any better than shimano deore ? I mean the sx is their entry level what do u prefer?
Better go 1x10 deore rather than 1x12 sx eagle. I was in the same position like you. Also a brand bike is not everything, you can get better specs from other brands but sometimes a good frame make a difference.
Any coments people have marlin 6 for crazy trails any experience????
Just pick one up today in size: L….already thinking about how I can improve on it
remember only ride to your ability. former pro.
@@ransomedavis2208 yeah okay buddy - former astronaut
Which one best bro trek marlin 7 or polygon xtrada 6 1 *11
I use my marlin 7 a good quality mtb i use it for stunts its slightly upgraded it depends on your taste
Just picked up a Marlin seven and in the process of putting an electric motor in it should be a pretty much killer bike
What motor are you putting in it cause I want to do the same thing!
@@blakesmith5227 I put a bafang bbso2 in with a 48 V 17.5 amp hour battery. It is a 48 tooth front sprocket but in order to put that in you have to have it pretty far off the chain line. The tallest two gears are for climbing only and to be honest I never use them with the power turned on. But if I were riding it with no electric I would probably use first and second gear for going up to the hills. I really am enjoying it it appears like I would get about 70 miles to a full charge but I normally put about 50 on it and have 30% left on battery so I recharge at that point. I would suggest a 44 tooth sprocket on it would bring the sprocket closer to the inside and help chain line. You would lose a little bit of speed but I can get mine to 34 miles an hour and it is limited to 21a but it could handle up to 25 A. I set the limit a little bit lower with a programming cable. I lose a bit of power but it’s great peace of mind that you’re not over taxing the motor at all. And I still have plenty of speed and plenty of power
I would also suggest changing the shifter to one that has an indicator on it. I found out to be very useful with a ebike’s
This was like trailer worthy lmao
The specialized Fuse is a better bike.
Гав💥💥💥💥💥но😷🤧🤧🤮🤢🤮🥴😵🧐😲☹️💩
the paint job sucks.... they need to work on this
talking out your backside.
I learned nothing from this. Looked like a paid corporate cheer leading commercial. Disappointing.
