Can the Marlin compete with the bigger players?
Lots of frame sizes
Excellent tyre choice
Dropper seatpost
Upgrade potential
Roomier seated position would be preferred
Quick-release rather than thru-axle
Rattly internal cable routing

Top-rate frame quality, available in seven sizes Independent Shimano shifters
Cable and chain rattle. Rear tyre is too skinny
