The Marin Bobcat Trail 4 29V Silver XL is built specifically for taller riders seeking a serious upgrade from entry-level mountain bikes. With trail-optimized geometry, modern components, and a rugged yet lightweight aluminum frame, this hardtail MTB delivers both power and precision—ideal for everything from weekend trail rides to weekday commuting.
🔧 Frame & Geometry
The heart of the bike is Marin’s Series 2 6061 aluminum alloy frame, engineered for strength without excess weight. The frame’s modern trail geometry includes a longer reach and a slacker 67.5° head tube angle, ensuring confidence on technical descents, while maintaining agility through corners and switchbacks.
Standover height is optimized for taller riders (6’1” and above), and the integrated internal cable routing keeps the design clean and protected. The frame also supports racks and fenders, giving the bike commuting and adventure touring potential.
🛞 Wheels & Tires
The 29-inch wheels provide maximum momentum and better rollover capability, helping the bike glide over rocks, roots, and trail obstacles. These wheels are paired with wide 2.25” trail tires that offer a balance of grip and low rolling resistance—ideal for mixed surfaces from dirt singletrack to gravel roads.
⚙️ Drivetrain
Powered by a Shimano 2x9-speed drivetrain, the Bobcat Trail 4 delivers 18 wide-range gears suited for steep climbs, fast descents, and everything in between. The dual chainring setup up front gives added control over cadence and terrain adaptability, perfect for riders who prefer a traditional, versatile gear layout.
🛑 Braking System
Hydraulic disc brakes offer consistent stopping power with minimal effort, regardless of rain, mud, or dust. Their precise modulation gives riders extra control on technical trails and during emergency stops—especially important for a larger frame bike traveling at speed.
🪑 Comfort & Control
Comfort and control are built into every contact point:
Wide riser handlebars provide leverage for tight turns and steep climbs
An ergonomic saddle sits atop an adjustable seatpost for optimized fit
Flat platform pedals give solid footing for both new and experienced riders
This combination ensures the bike feels stable and responsive under pressure, especially important for taller riders who need extra frame length and cockpit space.
🎨 Design & Aesthetics
The bike’s Silver finish gives it a clean, bold look that stands out on trails and in the city. Understated branding and smooth welds add a professional touch to the design, while maintaining a rugged, ready-for-action presence.
