Reviews

"Look fast, feel fast, go fast."

  1. i purchased my 2021 trek marlin 6 size XL in the alpine blue a little over a year ago now. this bike is well worth the money that i paid for it. the finish of the paint is fantastik and that alpine blue is beautiful, i am always getting compliments about the color and the quality of the paint job. i do not take it on trails or thrash it, its just to beautiful. i use it mostly on the street. i have changed the tires to the SERFAS DRIFTER HYBRID TIRES, these tires are great for the street. they have a unique tire pattern and the rolling resistance is substantially reduced compared to the nobby maxxis tires the bike came with. the only disappointment that i find with this bike is the internal frame routing of the cables, when going over bumps the cables rattle a great deal, very irritating, and it makes the bike sound like it may be coming apart. other than that i would highly recommend this bike.
