The Marin Wildcat TRL 3 is designed for riders who want a high-performance trail bike capable of conquering technical terrain with confidence and ease. Built on a rugged yet lightweight Series 2 6061 aluminum frame, this machine balances durability and agility, delivering a ride that’s responsive yet stable when the trail gets rough.

The 27.5” wheels strike the perfect balance between nimble cornering and efficient rolling momentum, while the bike’s modern geometry—with a slack head tube angle and extended reach—ensures stability on fast descents and aggressive lines. Short chainstays enhance acceleration and make the bike feel lively when navigating tight switchbacks or technical climbs.

At the heart of the suspension setup is the SR Suntour Raidon 34 Air fork, offering 140mm of smooth, adjustable travel with both rebound and lockout features. This fork effortlessly smooths out rough trail chatter and absorbs impacts, letting you maintain traction and control at speed.

Powerful stopping ability comes from Tektro HD-M285 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear, delivering strong modulation and reliable performance, even in wet or muddy conditions.

The drivetrain features a precise and wide-ranging Shimano Deore 1x12-speed system, highlighted by a clutch-equipped Shadow+ rear derailleur that reduces chain slap and keeps your chain secure on rough terrain. The 10–51T cassette ensures you have the gear range needed to power up steep climbs and accelerate on flats.

The Wildcat TRL 3 rolls on tough Marin aluminum double-wall rims wrapped in aggressive Maxxis Minion DHR II 27.5x2.4” tires, known for their excellent grip, cornering traction, and durability on technical trails. The tires are tubeless-ready, allowing for lower pressures and improved puncture resistance.

A TranzX dropper post with 125mm travel is included for quick saddle height adjustments on the fly, giving you added confidence on descents and technical features without ever needing to stop.

With its combination of aggressive trail geometry, advanced components, and modern features, the Marin Wildcat TRL 3 is an ideal bike for riders seeking performance and control on challenging mountain trails.
