Izcelsme

The Bobcat Trail has been Marin's entry point into trail riding for over a decade, evolved from a basic XC hardtail into a genuinely modern trail machine with growing wheel sizes, Fastback seatstays, and internal routing. It targets new riders and those wanting a capable second bike without breaking the bank.
