Up front, the SR Suntour XCM HLO suspension fork provides 120mm of travel to smooth out rough trails, roots and rocky sections, while the hydraulic lockout feature allows you to improve efficiency when riding smoother paths or climbing. The wide-range microSHIFT Advent 9-speed drivetrain delivers dependable shifting performance and plenty of gear range for tackling steep climbs and fast descents.
Stopping power comes from Tektro M280 hydraulic disc brakes, offering consistent and powerful braking performance in all weather conditions. Combined with wide 2.25-inch MTB tyres, Marin double-wall disc-specific wheels and a stable trail-focused geometry, the Bobcat Trail 3 inspires confidence whether you’re discovering mountain biking for the first time or upgrading from a basic bike.
