    I almost came close to purchase marlin grs 100 yesterday and saw a yt video that 1*drive train is slower. Booked a polygon xtrada5 which has 2*10 drivetrain just a few hours ago in near showroom. If i saw this video before booking i may have changed my mind,my bad. Saw a trek dual sport 3 owner there who came to upgrade his 1* drivetrain to 2* drivetrain.i hope my decision is not bad.Great video bro👍👍👍

    Both bikes are good for their price segment, one is a MTB and another is hybrid/gravel. So if you have off-road usage then Xtrada would fit , if you are only going to ride on the road then a Hybrid is much suited. Not sure why dual sport guy wants to degrade to 2X, i personally love 1X on MTB and such flat bar gravel/commuter

    After lot of confusion i bought 1x Trek DS initially I felt I made a big mess by investing 65k on 1x but as days passed I am getting used to it and main advantage I see Is climbing became easy for me. But if ur going for to go very fast then lowest gear might not enough but we can increase the front chain ring size. Just only problem I face is adjusting to this new cycle sometimes I am getting back pain which I was not getting on my old cycle. Trying to slowly adjust and hope I will not face any knee issue or back pain once I get adjusted. And if u want speed don't upgrade MTB to hybrid upgrade to road bike which I made a mistake and have no option other then using hybrid for sometime

With hybrid it is just in increased to 19 to 20km . But road bike u can go much faster. But if speed is not a problem then go for hybrid but i recommend go for 2X . Don't go to 1X drive train. If u want to go. Then go having lot of options in the back like mine castee is 11-46 go for 10-46 or more have the smaller gear more options
