The Marlin 6 is great. The fork is like a pogo stick at times. Swapped the fork out with a Rockshox Recon, now the my 2022 Marlin 6 is perfect.

I’m picking up my L-frame Marlin 6 this week…. They only had the black/green in stock & I didn’t like the green pedals, so I ordered the red/black colors… I’m just going to use it for a 10 mile paved work commute, so I hope I made the right decision….

Great video. I don’t think you need a wider tire as much as you probably just have to get some tape for the runes and go tubeless. I could heard you losing grip. Sawing an inch off the seat post or getting a dropper will also help you to shift your weight back and lower. A shorter stem might also be a good idea. I can still hear the rattle but you have one less cable running inside the frame which is why it’s not as noisy. Great job on clearing some of those features. It’s nice to see what an experienced rider can do on these bikes.

Minute 11:26, that's how you hit the frame over the rocks! LOL If you put wider tires you are gonna add rolling resistance that you are gonna feel when you use the bike over pavement. People use a more directional tire to the front, and a more fast rolling tire at the back. There are lots of options to chose depending what you are looking for. If you are looking a fast rolling tire for the back, I can recomend you a Maxxis Pace, it's 2.1 and you can get then in Tubless ready so you get rid of the tube, and it's good for wheelies. For the front, there are a ton, but if you pass 220, you are gonna enter into Roscoe territory. Nice vid man.

i think when you say wider tires you're really thinking about tubeless tires. You can't run tires with tubes low pressure or they can pinch flat. I think those rims are tubeless compatible with some tape, but you might want to ask the bike shop first to be sure. Remember this isn't a Roscoe, you can modify it to become basically a smaller Roscoe, but why bother? When you do that you lose the street qualities that you like about this in the first place. This isn't a downhiller, it's a cross street/trail bike. Not a hardcore mountain bike, but that's what you liked about it when you bought it. If you modify it like that, you lose the fast rolling quality you liked when taking it on the paved trails and streets. When you went off those rocks, the front fork gave you all it had!
