David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes

Cycling Weekly

 It'S clearly um something top of the list of priorities for an adventure bike, but we'll get into performance in the little moment. But let's flip the bike around and show you some other cool details on this bike. Turning the bike around, we can see some really well thought out. Features that show specialized have done their homework

 So you effectively have a longer bike, but with a short stem, giving you nice handling. So when you're riding very steep terrain, you have more weight behind the front wheel, so you're not as pitched over the front wheel as you are on a more road-based geometry and just give you a much calmer, much more stable, feel in those rowdy rough corners. When a normal bike might be bucked off the saddle, this bike lets you carry more speed and carry more confidence into those sections where you can be challenged to get the bike down cleanly. So the geometry is a real asset, nice and calm at high speed, nice and stable

 The right clothing is really important at the time of year. To keep you warm and dry on a bike and that's a neat segue to the sponsor of today's video giro. Now jiro have been making helmets since 1985, but more recently, branched out in the footwear and cycled clothing and today, i'm wearing the latest autumn winter clothing. Starting at the top with a syntax, mips, helmet, it's lightweight and well ventilated and the rock lock 5 retention system is really easy to adjust

 But for now this is one of the best groups that you can get if you can afford it and then moving on to the wheels we've got the robo terra clx carbon fiber wheels nice shallow profile, wide internal width, a good platform for these pathfinder pro tyres. The wheels are excellent: nice lightweight carbon fiber wheels very stiff external nipples, so easy to maintain hubs so far. Pretty reliable and a tyre is a great, fast. Rolling

The 2021 Specialized S-Works Diverge is the MOST CAPABLE gravel bike I've ridden!

 So a lot of my trails are sort of flowing they're they're, not particularly technical. There are some drops, there's some rooty ones, but most of them are sort of wide open, fast trails that you just kind of hold on, and you can let a rip, and you can especially do that with this bike and again, that's because it feels really really In control - and i think that's a really important aspect of this - that when you're riding those trails you can just get in the drop, so you can hold on to the huds and you don't need to be on the brakes, because the bike gives you the confidence That it will smash along really well in a straight line and that's exactly what it does. So. Stability is both great at high speed, but i have also noticed that sometimes the diverge can be a bit laborious when you're trying to make a tight turn or get up and over some, particularly like twisty and tighty root, sections or you're, going when you're going slow And you've got to sort of inch your way around a technical section

 That extra length in the wheelbase was great when the bike was really heavy and gaining velocity when descending down big hills laid them with bags and likewise that slightly slower, more confident steering just lets. You lean it into a corner with confidence. You know that it's not going to like dip or twitch when it gains speed. You just know that this bike is just going to plug on on the line that you put it on

[ Applause ]: this is the specialized diverge comp carbon, it costs 3 600 pounds, and for that money you get a fact: 9r carbon frame, a future shock 2.0 model and a swap box in the down tube. So i've been riding this for the last few months. They launched this bike in may, and i've been putting the miles on it, both on-road and off-road, and these are my thoughts, [ Music ]

 So. Stability is both great at high speed, but i have also noticed that sometimes the diverge can be a bit laborious when you're trying to make a tight turn or get up and over some, particularly like twisty and tighty root, sections or you're, going when you're going slow And you've got to sort of inch your way around a technical section. It can be a bit more difficult on this bike, but it doesn't compromise the ride quality though, and i think actually the trade-off for that stability at high speeds and a particularly good on-road performance is worth it really now. The dt swiss 540 wheels have been absolutely bomb proof

Specialized Diverge Review: The Do-It-All Gravel Bike? | Cycling Weekly

 When i humble brag warning did a really cool 280 kilometer coast coast ride with my former colleague joe, that was on that bike and at the end of that enormous day, i was very impressed by how fresh i felt even over the course of a three or Four hour ride be on road or gravel with the new bike, you really do feel a difference, and that is for me where the system shines. Now, as i mentioned, the new future shock is adjustable to adjust it essentially, where your top cat would normally sit on your stem. You have a small index dial and from turning that through 90 degrees, you can go from fully open all the way to fully closed. The system is active enough without being too boggy and squishy fully open to make a difference to make it more comfortable without wallowing through its travel

 Now i haven't set this bike up as tubeless is a review bike and it's going back to specialized imminently, so i've had to set it up with tubes as standard now. This means i've had to run ever so slightly higher pressures than i would with a tubular sap to avoid pinch flats, as you lean over in you know, kind of tighter corners. You get this quite unnerving transition between the smooth section and the tread on the outside. Likewise, the tread is also pretty much useless in the wet trails we typically find here in the uk

 It was first seen on what is now the previous generation stump jumper. This essentially makes use of the fact that down tubes, quite big these days and beneath the down tube bottle cage, you've got kind of like a plastic port with a really sturdy hinge which allows you to stuff multi-tools burritos jackets trail finds. What have you? My one? Criticism is leveled at the actual plate which forms the door to the swap box. This is a really small thing, but it did kind of annoy me these small nuts, which sit on the base of the door to the swap box

 The whole system runs on a set of roller bearings and there's next to no stiction at all. In the system, even when you're riding over relatively smooth gravel, it is very active and you can look down and see the little rubber boot satisfyingly squishing away as you go over small terrain. But for me where the bike really shines is on longer rides the difference. It makes in terms of upper body fatigue, is really noticeable even on the previous generation bike

 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.

5)  I’m pretty much still a beginner, and I was concerned about this too when I got my first real mountain bike. I also wasn’t too sure what kind of riding I wanted to do. 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 replaced it with a Rockshox Recon and it's night and day, a different bike now. **I would rather have a rigid fork than a cheap coil fork.

but also a lockout for more efficient pedaling on smooth pavement. I got my son a Trek Marlin 5 - nice bike for the price, except the Suntour coil fork is junk, heavy and pogo sticky.

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
