I recently got the Marlin 5 Model 2022 in Grey! This is my 1st mountain bike and I absolutely love this bike. I got a size small, I am 5'7. This size felt that I had more control of the bike, I don't want the bike being in control of me and sizing your bike and comfort is the most important thing. At 50 now I ride my bike everyday before and after work. Love the video! I have only had my bike for 1 week now!

I just bought a Marlin 5 in red and black and I absolutely love how smooth and fast the ride is!!

I was going to go for the Verve 3 but I changed my mind for this Marlin 5 2022 because of the suspension in the front and the fatter tires. The roads here where I m are uphills and bumpy. So that looks promising.

Brooooooooooo, What a beautiful review I have no any words, super cool bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ lots of love ur video s. Thankyou so much. This model come with chain protecter. It's very good. Over all nice upgrade from trek👍❤️🔥

Nice review

So here's my problem - I cannot seem to get a Giant Escape disc 0 / Marin DSX 1 or 2 / Trek FX 3 /Specialized Sirrus anywhere in my current country... It's insane how little stock there is. But I've seen plenty Marlin's at a local shop. They look really nice, but will it be good for city commuting? To be clear - I have some very nice forests nearby too, so will likely ride around there on weekends etc, but I want to ride around town and to work etc too... big deal going for a Marlin, or not really?

does marlin 5 comes with chainstay protector from factory??

Sir how much does it cost just the frame marlin 5?

Are these the bike line that Gary fisher use to be. I heard that was why the Marlins are still around

Hey um is the electric volt to Miami blue size Meduim or s

If I get it in a small with 27.5 will the frame be bent ?

By definition I am sure you did not get "scammed". New bike or used? Are these parts worse or just different? Right now if it is a new bike, they are coming with slight deviation from the spec sheets here and there because parts availability is so challenging. So having slightly different parts means you are riding today instead of 6-8mo from now. Send it and have fun!
