Just picked up the Marlin+ 6 the other day and can't wait to get out and ride. It was a choice of this or the Specialized Turbo Tero 3.0, but the guy told me it was a horrible bike for what I wanted it for and never got to even touch the bike, so went to Trek they let me ride it I fell in love and walked away with the Marlin+ 6 100% happy I did. A few upgrades and it'll be perfect. I was thinking of getting my Fox 38 Float with my Race Face pedals and hillbilly grid 2.6's out of storage for this bike. This Trek has so much potential.
I chose the Marlin E6 and love it! Entry level or not it a great bike the covers all my needs…The Giant Talon was my other choice…I picked the Marlin for a lighter bike and just a better rider experience
Interesting, you mention you didn’t think the price to upgrade to the 8 is worth it; yet, those upgrades you mention you would make to the 6 are already in the 8, and it seems the price of your upgraded would exceed the delta between the 6 and 8…? Thanks for creating and sharing this video!

What do hours of range translate into in kilometers?
They don't give actual distance; but my best guess is anywhere from 30-60km depending on the terrain and how much climbing there is
50 nm is just sad
