HARDTAIL TRAIL RIDING
AGGRESSIVE SINGLETRACK
The Marin Bobcat Trail 4 is our mid-level Bobcat, packing plenty of fun into a bang-for-bike package. Very much a legit MTB, the Bobcat 4 is stacked with quality kit for off-road adventures and includes an SR/Suntour fork, Shimano CUES wide-range 10-speed shifting and Tektro hydraulic brakes. Like all Bobcats, it’s built around a fast, comfy and fun Series 2 aluminum frame and is available in 27.5” or 29” wheels, depending on frame size.
Key upgrades over the Bobcat Trail 3:
- SR/Suntour XCM HLO-DS fork
