Great value for the price
Modern trail geometry
Playful and capable handling
Highly upgradeable frame
Solid suspension performance
X-Fusion shock can feel sluggish
Entry-level brakes lack bite
Some components may need upgrading for aggressive riding
We wanted to create a bike that rode like it cost $6,000 but at a price that would leave you some money to go on some bike trips, buy beer, maybe even save for a house.Bicycling
Overall, the ride is pretty surefooted and fun, inspiring levels of confidence and speed that I’d rarely experience for less than £1,500
BikeRadar‘Made for fun’ is their tagline.

The Marin Hawk Hill 3 is a 120mm full susser that can hold its own with the big bikes, is well specced and comes in at a very reasonable price too. It’s hard to fault this versatile bike, whilst not ground breaking in terms of design or geometry it does its job of being a fun and capable trail bike very well indeed.

The Marin Hawk Hill 3 may not be perfect, but for $2650 it gives you a lot of bang for your buck and, most importantly, it's fun.

While we all enjoy reading about the latest carbon fiber super bikes, the truth is most of us can’t afford to drop five grand on a new rig. The Hawk Hill is a $1500 trail bike that delivers serious performance. - Mtbr.com

The Marin Hawk Hill has nearly all the makings of a great bike. The frame is solid, the sizing is on point and the specification is competitive.

I would’ve preferred a much steeper seat angle, as I found myself fighting to keep the front wheel down on steep pitches, so I’d swap out the laid-back post to help remedy this.
