Marin BOBCAT TRAIL 3 Mountain Bike - 2023
AGGRESSIVE SINGLETRACK
The Marin Bobcat Trail 3 is our most-affordable Bobcat, creating the biggest smiles for the least possible dollars. Its heart is a Series 2 aluminum frame that’s fast, comfy and fun on the trails. There are options for 27.5” and 29” wheels and the bike is built with a trail-taming SR/Suntour suspension fork and powerful Tektro hydraulic brakes.
Key upgrades over the Bolinas Ridge 2:
- Series 2 aluminum frame w/double butted tubing & internal cable routing
- SR/Suntour XCM HLO fork w/120mm travel & hydraulic lockout
- Tektro hydraulic disc brakes
The Marin Bobcat Trail is a capable mountain bike with modern trail geometry build for exploring singletrack trail systems. 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.
The heart and soul of the ride stems from the lightweight Series 2 aluminum alloy frame, with long and low trail geometry and 27.5” or 29” wheels, 120mm of rock garden- ready travel, and internal housing routing. All Bobcat Trail models feature hydraulic disc brakes, and are available with wide-range off-road specific drivetrains.
