29” OR 27.5” WHEELS
The Bobcat Trail has a growing wheel size strategy for the best fit and performance with the choice of 27.5” or 29” platforms on the size M, 27.5” wheels on sizes XS and S, and 29” wheels on sizes L, XL, and XXL.

All Bobcat Trail models feature Marin Trail geometry, featuring a long-ish reach, low standover, slack head tube, and steep seat tube angles, giving riders confidence and predictable handling to have a blast on the trail.

FASTBACK SEATSTAY DESIGN
Fastback seatstays add vertical compliance without sacrificing power transfer, and feature rack mounts for extended trail adventures.

INTERNAL DROPPER COMPATIBLE
