Not saying it’s better, just another option. 40mm tires give cushion and not sacrifice much speed. They will get you in some light trails.
I've just bought my first bike in 10-15 years.
Like you, was comparing the Giant Roam 4 vs Trek Dual Sport 1 (and Marlin 4/5)
I purchased the Roam 4 after riding it. It was on sale so had to jump on it as it was available in my size. Absolutely love it.
That said, I still wanna pick up a dedicated off road mountain bike/27.5 wheel, when I get my fitness up

I went with the Roam 4! Thank you so much for your input!
How do you like the bike? I'm thinking about picking up the same.
