Best performance to price value, the Marin Hawk Hill 1 is an easy recommendation to beginners and budget-minded riders who want to get into the sport. It’s got good bones, solid geo and will benefit from upgrades down the road as you evolve as a rider.

Flicky, feisty and well-balanced, the Hawk Hill isn't perfectly specced but sure is a lot of fun
Tons of attitude and fun factor ensure the Hawk Hill is a real blast
Suspension tune and front-to-rear balance are well worked out
Drivetrain feels noticeably soft, in terms of engagement and power delivery
Not having a dropper post is a negative mark

Targeted at trail fun, we took the distinctive 120 mm travel Marin Hawk Hill 3 to the trails for a review to see if it could deliver bargain priced thrills.
A well built frame that would benefit future upgrading
Agile and playful handling, great if you have trails filled with jumps and features
A lot of smiles for not much money
Compact frame feels nervous at high speeds
Front tire lacks bite in hard corners
For most riders, the Rift Zone 3 is a better bike

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
