Marin County California is regarded as the birthplace of mountain biking. With niche communities back then shaping what it is today, and with Marin Bikes' inception coming shortly after, the company has deep roots in the sport and now offers many styles of bikes to suit off-roaders and commuters alike.
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
- Shimano CUES 1x 10-speed drivetrain
- WTB Trail Boss Comp tires
