First day with the Marlin went well. Got the saddle height set to my specs, so it's much easier to ride now. I did ten miles tooling around local roads while dialing it in and then did 15 miles along the bike trail. I need to try the tougher trails around the local lake. The ability to lock out the front shock is ample reason to get the Marlin 6 over the Marlin 5. Plus the 2x8 gearing is all you'll likely need . The 3x7 on the 5 is way overkill. For $100 more, the Marlin 6 is a much better bike, IMO.
