Consumer Reports

Ibis recently did a complete overhaul of their flagship 29-inch wheeled trail bike, the Ripley. The previous version was our favorite short travel model for its energetic ride and unrivaled playfulness. The newest Ripley maintains most of that playful demeanor but is now a much more well-rounded ride with enhanced downhill capabilities and far greater stability at speed. This is thanks to the Ripmo-inspired frame design with increased reach and wheelbase measurements, a slacker 66.5-degree head tube angle, and a steeper 76.2-degree seat tube angle. The Ripley still encourages pops and trailside hits but no longer has a speed limit. It's also far more confidence-inspiring in steep and rough terrain, though it remains limited by its modest travel numbers.
The Ripley is a very sensible trail bike for a considerable portion of the riding population. This lightweight ride is equally talented on the climbs as it is on the descents. It has unmatched versatility and is the best all-around short travel bike we've tested.

 Yeah like the the amount of force that you need to push down to get it to go down is like incredibly light. Um the thing is fast. It's like it was flawless during custody and it really really really impressed me. Ibis has pulled off something that Hollywood has been failing at for years

 I Had to like scrub my speed a little bit more than I did on other bikes, but that was only in like kind of a chunky stuff. I Guess it's interesting because this is you know, things have very much been modernized here. We got a 66 and a half head tube angle 76 degrees C tube angle a very generous reach measurement. We rode the Excel which was what five hundred you know reach

 EOC post is another 170 bucks and I was so impressed with that thing to have. That bike you can see post is so good it's like zero friction. Yeah like the the amount of force that you need to push down to get it to go down is like incredibly light. Um the thing is fast

The Ibis ritmo is one of the most versatile bikes on the planet, and in updating the Ripley Ibis may understandably have wanted to nudge it onto the writ most turf. The Ripley does now share the ritmo silhouette and linkage, but did that cost it the quickness that we've loved about it all these years? We took it at Tucson Arizona to find out who. So check it out. there's a new Ripley ya believe

Ibis Ripley Review - 2019 Bible of Bike Tests

I'll throw my hat in for not overbiking just because trendy bike salesman say the same thing to every body as well as a nice little vote for the Ibis Ripley if climbing and efficient traversal is a concern of yours. If you wanna stick with 27.5 wheels another decent option is the Giant Trance, can even get them used for cheap, with the Fox & SLX configuration. Also, if you ever wanted a carbon frame and wheel bike, one of the cheapest ones you can find is the Trance Advanced, both new and used

I’m currently riding a 2015 Devinci Django carbon 27.5”, lowest model with NX components. My local New England trails are majority xc style single track but covered in rock gardens and roots where there is as much technical uphill as there is down hill. I’m not big into bike parks so the only times I find myself getting airborne are launching off natural trail features.

I asked around my local shop for suggestions based on local conditions and they recommended bumping up to a bike with bigger suspension and 29” tires, preferably a mullet configuration. They recommended either a Bronson or Stumpjumper EVO. I don’t want to make a mistake purchase, does anyone have experience with 150/160mm travel bikes in more of a cross country setting or have other suggestions? I prefer a livelier bike that I can throw around and have fun on as opposed to a long, low, stable speed machine (I spent a good amount of time on a Orbea Occam and was not a fan, the bike feels like it rides itself). I was thinking about going with the Stumpjumper EVO, sizing down to an S2, and keeping it set to the steepest and highest settings. I’m worried about how much climbing ability I’m actually going to lose. I’m seeing YouTube reviewers talk about climbing ability but they all appear to ride at trail centers with dedicated fire road style climbs as opposed to the single track climbs that I see

 I ended up with a Trek Marlin 5. It certainly wasn’t perfect, but once I got to riding some real trails and improving my skills, I got a better idea of what I wanted to upgrade.

All your suggestions for bikes, things to look for or stay away from in a bike are welcome! Trying to make this a post that can be referenced off of for others too. 


1. How can I know what makes a bike valuable? Is there any easy way to guage how good a part/specs are of a bike? (Besides rhe frame material, thats a given)

2. Can you build bikes yourself like computers to be cheaper or is it a completely different story?

3. I know I don't understand wtf the differences between certain parts are, but what about bike lines? For example Trek Roscoe vs Martin ect. What makes all of the bike lines different, and how can I "know" what they are for? (I can assume the numbers mean how top of the line they are, but also is there a certain point that the best of one line wouldnt be worth it compared to another lines lower model?)

4. This one will be a no brainer for you guys, but because I am a noob I have to ask: How does a $500 hardtail compare to a $1000 hardtail? Sure the parts are better, but *what* makes them better?

5. Branching off of #4, what would be the price range for a beginner? From what I have heard I dont like the idea of a super cheap bike, but I dont know if I can take full advantage of something $1500+

6. Obligitory one: at the moment I like flowy, easy-to-go-fast-on trails/parks. I also think offroading in more technical trails is interesting, but I like the roller coaster feel of bike parks better. I have really thought about the Roscoe 7 but then saw the Stance 29 2 and still dont know which is better for my needs as they both are about the same price (lets ignore my point in #5). People say the Stance is good for beginners but is not meant to be "sent" with, can this be bad? I dont want to break a bike for going too crazy lol.


P.S. I think its also worth saying I have a bike, but its really old with spring suspension and rim brakes. So it was good for the time but I cant adjust the suspension down a lot since I am a lightweight. I have thought about upgrading it, but wanted to see my options of getting a modern bike.

New MTB lover here, I have questions that are asked not so often. (And some that are)

 and then you're gonna have these Bontrager XR Endurance Comp Grips which I really like because they've got a flat portion to them. Nice ergonomic shape to be able to keep your hands nice and comfortable. For breaks this is set up with Tech Rose HD em 276 and then for shifters. this bike is set up with Shimano Psaltis Em 315 7-speed shifter

6 seat post and this Bontrager Arvada saddle and then on the cockpit we're gonna have a 31.8 handlebar. A nice wide handlebar. It's gonna run an alloy 31

 This is also an upgrade over the 2020 model with having the M3 15 rather than the M3 10. So now that we've taken a look at some of the features and designs of this Trek Marlin 5 let's go ahead and find out what this bike weighs. The actual weight of a Trek Marlin 5 and a size medium comes in at 30 Oh Point one Eight pounds. Well, thanks for watching this video on the truck Marlon Five Go ahead and let me know your thoughts down in the comment section below

 That way you can see more videos like this into the future. So checking out this 2021 Trek Marlin 5 we should talk about what the Trek Marlin Series is all about. The Trek Marlin series is a hardtail front suspension mountain bike that bridges the gap between somebody who would like a hybrid but also wants the capability of a full-on mountain bike. Or it's for a value conscious rider that's going to be out hitting some trails now

I'm new to this so I know nothing about bikes except how to ride. I'm 6 foot 4 230 pounds. I don't wanna spend too much money because i don't know if I'll stick with it or not. Im wanting a bike with a super simple not flashy design. Im not gonna ride it off road.

 I could have purchased a much, much nicer full suspension for the money I have put down, though that's just my own experience and will not be like yours necessarily. If there's a Marlin 6 available go for it (since it has an air fork), otherwise I'd highly recommend a Vitus Nucleus.

Hi, i am going to buy a new mtb. I am new to mtb bikes, so i'm open to all suggestions. I'll use it in country, on skate parks, bike parks etc. So i want to do some drops,  jumps etc. Like urban freeride videos. I'm looking for a cheap bike under 600$. I can upgrade it later. I was thinking about Trek marlin 5 but i figured out i cant do jumps on it. I saw B'twin rockrider st 520s, actually its looking good. So i wanted to ask you before making a mistake. Do you have any mtb suggestions? Do you suggest B'twin 520s?

(I'm sorry if i wrote something wrong, my english is not so good.)

I'm trying to decide my first mtb.

As the bike is still almost new, it has a "rattling" noise in the front wheel that probably requires some minor adjustments (hopefully at the store they'll be able to check and fix that).

I'm using my Marlin 5 every day for exercising, it makes my daily routine much easier and enjoyable. I have also used it to go biking on some trails, so much fun! 

A significant step up from my previous rides

 I got a M frame and it has the 8x2 gears. Also the hydraulic disc brakes are super efficient. 

Marlin 5 Fits great and has great features
