Where will you be riding? Bikes are like boats in that they're very specialized to what they'll be used for. For most people, a 29er hardtail is a best bet. Get one with hydraulic disc brake instead of mechanical disc brakes. Giant isn't a sexy name but they are usually the best value because they're the biggest and they are one of a couple of factories in Taiwan that do all of the frame welding.

Anyone have any opinions on the 2017 Trek Marlin 7? I am looking for a median-priced hardtail and am between that and the Specialized Rockhopper Comp.

I picked up a Giant Talon last year for $500. Was last years color scheme so price was reduced. Its been a great bike for the trails around here.

Local bike shops tend to put last year's models on sale when the new ones roll out each year. Try to find yourself a nice 2016 trek at Capitol Cyclery. I was able to get a Raleigh Talus 29er for $400 when they were trying to get rid of them.

I'm in DFW......there are lots of trails around to ride. I'll probably also ride a good bit on paved trails also.

Good choice. I've upgraded to a Specialized stumpjumper and love it. Enjoy getting hooked on it!

What is the price range for this bike for 2016-17 model?

If your in DFW, you need to go to Richardson Bike Mart. They'll let you test drive all the bikes and get you set up. Bought a specialized stump jumper FSR carbon comp 29er this past winter from them. They'll work with you on the price also.
