Marin Hawk Hill 3 review

Dec 2018

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.

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.

Hawk Hill review

Apr 2017 · Guy Kesteven

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.
