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

Marin's Bobcat Trail 3 manages to both look and ride like a much more expensive bike than it is, with a quality frame and geometry that comes from the 'proper trail bike' book to deliver a really capable ride. Compromises in the drivetrain and suspension to get it on budget are apparent, but it's still a solid machine that delivers a lot of fun for not much cash.
