Marin Bobcat Trail 4

Sep 2017

The Marin Bobcat Trail 4 is Marin's entry level hardtail offering. Entry level can often mean loud in looks but low in terms of geometry and riding said bike on anything other than a canal toe path. However, Marin has delivered something genuinely fit for purpose in the Bobcat. Review: Whyte 605 hardtail Our guide to buying your first mountain bikeverything you need to know Regardless of your ability or budget, mountain bikes need to be just that, a bike that is capable of riding off-road, on technical trails and for extended periods of time.
