Lightweight, firm-riding trail hardtail that’s still fun to ride while you upgrade. Buy if you want a fun, upgradable trail bike
Modern-shaped, lightweight and stiff 29er trail frame in a wide range of sizes
Overall ride is still purposeful and enjoyable despite component compromises
A wider bar and better tyres would improve trail confidence significantly
Heavy and basic steel-spring and straight-steerer fork is ripe for upgrading too

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.

The Marin Bobcat Trail 9.5 promised a lot on paper but failed to shine in the £750 category of the Hardtail of the Year test
Great Shimano build kit and wide handlebar
Steep geometry and harsh frame
