Having trouble deciding between Marlin 4 and DS 1 gen 5. (Higher models are quite in the budget currently) Main worry is having no front suspension, but otherwise DS was a more comfortable ride for me... for the occasional ride similar to this, is it tolerable/worth it? Will mainly be on paved roads and gravel/light trails. Just don't want to lose the ability for a little off roading (Again, nothing crazy, not asking it to do jumps for me)
It has a very good behavior on the asphalt. It is light and comfortable. Indeed the wide tires bring more comfort but will never be as smooth as a front suspension.
Hey man, I am considering getting a DS3 gen 4 or gen 5 to convert to an middrive ebike. I'll be putting mudguards and bags on it, mainly riding on the road - but the roads around here here often not smooth and have potholes etc. I'll maybe do some dirt paths or gravel (light offroad like in your video here) for fun. I'm not so worried about weight difference since I'll have a motor that will make the bike go around 30-35 kmph. Have you ridden both gen 4 and gen 5? Do you think the wide tires and ride feeling is better on the newer version or I'd be better off getting the suspension one in my case for comfort?
Heyyy Having a motor on this bike is a real good idea that has also cross my mind! Please give me a return from your experience on this! I haven't try GEN 4. A front suspension might be better in thhis case? Trek did a E-version of the GEN 5 and kept the rigid fork... Let's trust their engineers
Hello do you feel the vibrations with this fork in the gravel paths do you have any problem with this carbon fork it behaves well or not please because it bothers me a little that there is no suspension that's why I ask for your opinion thank you
You started out with a bike with a gold riser handlebar and shorter stem and what looks like a rigid fork; then, at about 1:08, a new handlebar setup appears with what like is like a suspension fork; then gold handlebar bike shows up again later in the video. Did you change bikes?
Yea, looks like he changed the bars and stem. Was wondering as well. Also looks like he’s not responding to comments. I’m headed to the trek store in a few to check this out.
Hey, do i need to replace stem in order to mount this handlebar? Or can i leave the stock one? I'm a newbie and any help would be appreciated :D Thanks
Hi! For serious trail riding i would go for a proper trail bike full suspension or hardtail. Also, take in account your area. Dual sport 3 gen 5 is more a city commuting bike bike than a shredder for trails. Let's get in touch with your local bikeshop for a proper advice.
How much This bike average speed on road

What size is it please on this video
Medium or large
Thank you
How do you like the ride? You don’t miss suspension? Or the wide tires make up for it and smooth the ride?
It has a very good behavior on the asphalt. It is light and comfortable. Indeed the wide tires bring more comfort but will never be as smooth as a front suspension.
@@conprogrammme23what speed do you average on pavement ?

Hope it helps, best !
Is it worth getting gen 5 over 4? I feel like the suspension is important
Suspension is important to anyone who thinks they have a use for it. In my case, I am completely satisfied without. Best

Camera attached on the second bike following the other bike is the answer.
@@conprogrammme23same POV from the bike rider…
Will this bike fit a 27.5 x 2.2 wide tire? At least in the front... Thank you!
Yes it will
The 2022 bike is cheaper and has suspension, vs more expensive 2023 with no suspension. Am I missing something? Thanks for the video though.
As far as i understand, gen 4 are still available with front suspension. Bike industry knows how to make things complicated! Best!
@@conprogrammme23 Thanks for the reply. As a newbie they do make selection difficult but maybe that's their master plan ;)
May be price differentiation is due to differences in weight.
what wheel is this and where can i buy it?
There's some serious shredding going on here.
😂
Looks ace what bars did you put on? Is it fast?
Yea, looks like he changed the bars and stem. Was wondering as well. Also looks like he’s not responding to comments.
I’m headed to the trek store in a few to check this out.
Sorry guys for the delay, indeed i swapped the stock handlebar, stem, grips and cassette. So any feedback from your side?
Yes now it is faster than ever!
What cassette are you currently using?
Hey, do i need to replace stem in order to mount this handlebar? Or can i leave the stock one? I'm a newbie and any help would be appreciated :D Thanks
No you don't need to change the stock stem until you purchase a 31.8 diameter handlerbar. Best!
👌
All I’m saying is that if Sam could handle drops and good jumps on a more Race oriented gravel idk why my rigid yet more trail oriented gravel can’t
Don't worry, Sam is a one of the top pro rider, he can handle all type of bikes.
What kind of bar & stem you got on your DS3?
Handlebar is a NS Bikes Licence copper. Stem is also from NS Bikes: Chemical 31.8 - oil rub
@MDBD Frame colour is Black Olive with goldish Trek logo
By changing the bars and the stem does it feel like you are more upright compared to the stock setup?
Did you upgrade stock pedals?
Yes indeed, pedals is first thing to upgrade!
@@conprogrammme23 what pedals did you use?
@@josealvirde9926 Hi i am using Crankbrothers Stamp 1
Hi..a person in my region selling a perfectly preserved 4-year-old bicycle for €400. It is worth buying.greattings from Slovenia
Does this not have a suspension like the gen4 one?
Indeed, no suspension on this one, make it better
Is it possible to put a suspension on it?
Yes no problems!
axle to crown looks short ... you should check the values first.
CÄTFISH IS EDIBLE 🎤🚬🐈
Moutain bike or trek dual sport 3 gen 5 .. which should i choose i do serious trail rides and minimun 50 km road ride so should i go for this ??

Am thinking of upgrading the suspension lol
Are you going to install a front suspension?
@@conprogrammme23 yes
Good video thanks
I have the same bicycle , but not that crappy music.
Ahah Excellent! So true. Let's Kung-fu!
Music is crappy because riding without helmet is crappy idea.
