    Updates/Corrections to video:
    1) For the frame geometry, I accidentally swapped the bike names and images. The measurements are correct as stated in the video, but the order of the bikes in my geometry table should be, from left to right: Trek Marlin, Specialized Rockhopper, and then Giant Talon. Sorry about that error!
    2) All of the Specialized Rockhopper models have increased in price by $100, so the Rockhopper Sport now costs $700
    3) The Marlin 6 actually uses 100mm of travel in its size small as well, and only uses 80mm of travel for the xs size.

      I’m really confused about the geometry part. I have one question. What bike is best for defending and ruffer trails.

      I can only agree with what KK has written, I only discovered your videos by chance. I am looking to buy an entry level hardtail and then fit a Bafang 1000kw Mid-Drive ,hopefully the bottom bracket on the bike I choose will be a ‘straight-through ‘ with no complications.
      Your videos are extremely good,simple and informative to a novice that wants to get into MB but only wants to bike British roads and off -road fire-tracks.Covid has given me more time to study this but there are so many videos it gets confusing to try and make a final decision,but I think yours will help me more than any others. Great work and thanks

    Great video! I've been bikepacking for 8 years and evolved a Boardman 27.5 hardtail. I like the straight handlebar, front suspension and wider tyres, hence gravel bike is a non starter. The Boardman is now worn out and I've upgraded to the Talon. With tubolito inners, weight is less than 13kg. I've added seat post suspension for further comfort. Never got on with 29 for bikepacking and gearing with the single chain ring is actually ideal.

    Just bought my very first mtb the Talon 2 a couple days ago. I was looking for the Marlin 6 but at this point of the year most of the local bike shops here are out of stock. But luck have served me well and I found an XS Talon 2 (which is perfect for my size) for roughly below 500$ (converted to USD) and it had the UK groupset components. Looking at the price range, for me I struck a great deal! Thank you for these types of videos! It's a pain to look through their websites for hours for their comparisons. Also, let me know which parts should I uprgade first.

I just came back from a 4 hr trip to buy this bike, just to learn that due to the global supply chain crisis they just don't include those anymore. I left without buying. Whole day for nothing. Giant customer care was less than helpful too. I'm sure it's supposed to be a good bike but without customer service and random components installed, it seems a bit risky to buy. Better choose a brand with customer service and better communication on their website.

    What is the best all around bike? I am from Los Angeles and want a bike that I can ride in the streets but can also take on gravel, dirt roads and to hit some medium trails in the hills/mountains nothing to crazy though. In the budget range of 1000-1500$ I know it is not too much but maybe I can upgrade the bike later done the line.

    • @TalalipopMTB
      @TalalipopMTB  3 роки тому

      I typically lean toward the middle of the range bikes for the best all around bike, since they have more speeds for road and commuting purposes. So something like the marlin 6 would be better than the marlin 7 in my personal opinion, although you can argue the other way as well. I think the rockhopper and marlin mentioned in the comparison could both work well for your purpose.

      None of them has tapered head tubes and you can install dropping post in any of them.

    Same, one in stock…bought the rock hopper elite. I was wondering about a weight comparison, mind has bigger tires though.

    The Rockhopper new geometry looks awesome, but in my opinion Trek Marlin is more fun to ride based on my experience.

    I ended up going with the Rockhopper Elite 29 1X. What I would say is that the Rockhopper is very fast going down hill and isn't so good for a technical trail that's hard. It's more build for high speed.

    I really appreciate your videos, very educational!
    Have you ever made a comparison of bikepacking bicycles, i.e. Trek 1120 vs Surly ECR, etc.

      Thank you! And no unfortunately I have not looked into those, though I have built an 1120 at Trek!

    Hi All, did the video got cut off before the last category was being mention? Was waiting for the Rockhopper Expert comparison. Thank U 🙏🏻

    Comparing rockhopper among these two is OP AF

    I’m thinking of buying either the Talon 2 or Marlin 6. I often ride with friends in town or go one dirt trails and occasional jumping and so on and I’d like to know which of the two would be better for me.

    • @TalalipopMTB
      @TalalipopMTB  4 роки тому +1

      For the trails and jumping the talon is probably better while the marlin 6 would be a bit better for around town use. I’d say the talon in this case because although you might lose some incremental gears, it shouldn’t be too noticeable unless you are riding for longer periods of time on the road.

    At around 5 mins 20 seconds you correctly state the head tube angles of the bikes but your graphic chart has them wrong. Cool video. I would love to see a video comparing the Rockhopper Elite to the other comparable bikes. It would be a cool sub $1000 bikes video.

    • @TalalipopMTB
      @TalalipopMTB  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks for pointing that out! I'll add an update comment right now; can't believe I mixed that one up! And noted; I'll look into a video like that as well since a few people have asked about it.

      It would be really cool if you could compare the RH Elite vs Marlin 7 vs Giant T0
