The Marin Bobcat Trail 4 29V in size Large (L) with a Silver finish is a trail-tuned hardtail mountain bike designed to elevate your off-road riding experience. Whether you're venturing into singletrack for the first time or upgrading from an entry-level MTB, the Bobcat Trail 4 delivers a precise balance of climbing efficiency, downhill stability, and modern mountain biking geometry — without breaking your budget.
Frame & Geometry
At the heart of this bike is Marin’s Series 2 6061 aluminum alloy frame, featuring double-butted tubing for strength where it's needed and weight reduction where it’s not. This ensures durability while keeping the bike agile and responsive. The modern trail geometry is inspired by higher-end mountain bikes, offering a longer reach, lower standover height, and slack front end for improved handling on technical descents and tight turns.
The frame includes internal cable routing for a clean aesthetic and reduced maintenance, along with rack and fender mounts for riders who might also use the bike for commuting or touring.
Wheels & Tires
Rolling on 29-inch wheels, the Bobcat Trail 4 covers more ground with each pedal stroke and effortlessly rolls over rocks, roots, and bumps in the trail. This wheel size enhances stability and maintains momentum, especially valuable on longer rides or XC-style trails. The tires offer a versatile tread pattern suitable for both dirt trails and occasional pavement use.
Suspension
The bike is equipped with a SR Suntour XCM 120mm travel fork, giving it the capability to handle bumps, dips, and technical terrain. The fork also includes a hydraulic lockout, allowing riders to switch to a rigid mode for climbs or road sections, enhancing pedaling efficiency.
Drivetrain
Powering the bike is a Shimano 2x9-speed drivetrain (18 total gears), offering a wide range of gear options for everything from steep climbs to fast descents. The 2x setup gives you fine control over cadence and terrain adaptation, especially useful on rolling trails or varied elevation routes.
Braking System
The Tektro or Shimano hydraulic disc brakes (depending on final spec) provide strong, responsive braking performance in all weather conditions. Whether you're riding through mud, gravel, or down a steep descent, these brakes ensure safety and control with minimal hand fatigue.
Controls & Comfort
Wide riser handlebars improve leverage and bike handling on technical trails, while the ergonomic saddle and adjustable seatpost ensure a comfortable fit over long distances. The flat pedals offer immediate grip and control, making this bike trail-ready out of the box.
Design & Aesthetics
The clean Silver colorway gives the bike a sleek and modern look, enhanced by internal cable routing and minimal branding. It’s a look that’s at home on both the trail and the street.
