The Marin Bobcat Trail 3G in Extra Large size (20.5”) with 29-inch wheels is tailored for taller riders who demand a high-performance, versatile mountain bike capable of tackling diverse terrains with ease and confidence. Whether you’re hitting technical trails, commuting, or riding for fitness, this bike blends durability, comfort, and control.
Frame and Geometry
Crafted from Series 2 aluminum alloy, the frame combines lightweight agility with robust strength to withstand rugged trail conditions. The geometry is optimized for taller riders, offering a stable yet responsive ride with an upright position that reduces fatigue and enhances control. A sloping top tube improves standover clearance, while internal cable routing keeps the design sleek and protects cables from damage.
Wheels and Tires
The 29-inch wheels provide superior rollover ability, enabling the bike to glide over roots, rocks, and uneven surfaces more smoothly than smaller wheels. This size also helps maintain momentum on fast trails and improves overall stability. The tires are designed for all-terrain performance, delivering dependable grip and traction on dirt, gravel, and pavement.
Drivetrain
Equipped with a Shimano 1x11-speed drivetrain, the bike eliminates the front derailleur for simplified shifting and reduced maintenance. The wide gear range makes climbing steep hills easier while allowing quick acceleration on flats and descents. Shimano’s reliable components ensure precise, smooth shifts.
Braking System
Hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, consistent stopping power regardless of weather or trail conditions. Their excellent modulation enhances rider confidence during technical descents and emergency braking situations.
Comfort and Handling
Riser handlebars encourage a natural and comfortable riding posture, minimizing strain on the back and wrists during long rides. The ergonomic saddle combined with an adjustable seatpost allows riders to customize their fit for maximum comfort and efficient pedaling. Flat pedals provide secure footing, accommodating riders of all skill levels.
Design and Aesthetics
Finished in sleek Black, the Marin Bobcat Trail 3G 29*20.5 XL offers a modern, professional look with minimal branding and clean lines, appealing to riders who want a bike that performs well and looks sharp.
