SINGLETRACK AND FIRE ROAD RIDING
TRAIL MOUNTAIN BIKING
The Marin Wildcat Trail mountain bike collection is made for our female riders, suiting everyone from for-the-fun-of-it, recreational explorers to those looking to go further and faster on the off-road trails. Super fun, super value and super well-specced, the Wildcat Trail is the perfect gateway bike into mountain biking, made 100% for female riders.
Our top-end Wildcat, the Wildcat Trail 3 really blurs the line into ‘proper’ mountain biking. We’ve specced the Wildcat Trail 3 to be super capable on the trails while still offering kick-ass value and the perfect fit for female riders that don’t quite need a full-gas MTB.
The Wildcat Trail 3 gets an upgraded women’s-specific Series 2 aluminum frame with low standover and is built around 27.5” wheels. There’s an upgraded SR/Suntour 120mm suspension fork, a Shimano drivetrain, powerful hydraulic disc brakes and grippy 2.25” MTB tires. And, of course, a whole stack of women’s specific kit to guarantee a super-comfortable ride.
