Time for an entry level mountain bike showdown! In this video I compare and contrast the 2021 Schwinn Axum DP with the 2022 Trek Marlin 5, to help you figure out which bike is the best value for a beginner or intermediate mountain biker. I cover all the main components on both bikes and give my thoughts on which one is the best. The Schwinn Axum is a Walmart bike that comes with a tapered head tube, dropper post, and a 1x drivetrain for only $500!
