Best-in-class frames and solid, serviceable spec make the Bobcat Trail a solid choice for the recreational rider looking to step up to modern geo and step deeper into mountain biking, and for the experienced rider in search of an update that doesn’t break the bank.

Marin Bobcat Trail 3 Mountain Bike 2024 - Hardtail MTB
I have bought this bike because It has very good components and all parts. And it is very good choice. Bike is very comfortable and looks nice. Used few times on the road and few times in the muddy terrain and I was very happy so at the moment everything looks great. I put even child seat on the back. Only one advice. Child seat Needs to be higher and stable to avoid touch the rear tire so don’t buy cheap options. Highly recommended.
