A fun-to-ride, versatile bike with a good, if not exceptional, parts spec for the money
Well-built and versatile frame
Brakes and drivetrain work efficiently
Tyres are fast-rolling and efficient, helping on climbs
On technical or loose terrain, a burlier front tyre wouldn’t go amiss
Fork feels flexy in extended 29er form without a thru-axle

However, Marin has delivered something genuinely fit for purpose in the Bobcat.
