Take your mountain biking further with the Marin Bobcat Trail 5, a versatile and capable hardtail mountain bike designed to deliver big performance without the big price tag. As the top model in the Bobcat Trail range, the Bobcat Trail 5 combines a lightweight Series 2 6061 aluminium frame with a quality 120mm suspension fork, Shimano 11-speed gearing and powerful hydraulic disc brakes.
Finished in a striking Blue/Black colourway, the Bobcat Trail 5 is built for everything from fast local trail rides and bridleways to more technical mountain bike adventures.
Built for Trail Riding
At the heart of the Bobcat Trail 5 is Marin's Series 2 6061 aluminium frame, featuring a low standover height, internal cable routing and integrated dropper-post routing. The result is a clean-looking, practical frame that provides plenty of confidence when you're riding challenging terrain.
Up front, the SR Suntour XCR LOR-DS fork provides a generous 120mm of travel, helping smooth out roots, rocks and rough sections of trail. Hydraulic lockout and damping adjustment allow you to tune the fork to suit your riding and terrain.
Shimano 11-Speed Drivetrain
The Bobcat Trail 5 features a Shimano 11-speed drivetrain, giving you a wide range of gears for tackling steep climbs while still having plenty of speed available on flatter sections and descents.
The Shimano Deore rear derailleur benefits from a clutch mechanism to help keep the chain secure over rough terrain, while the 32T narrow-wide chainring helps improve chain retention when you're pushing the bike hard.
Confident Hydraulic Disc Braking
When the trail gets steep or technical, reliable braking is essential. The Bobcat Trail 5 is equipped with Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, paired with large 180mm rotors front and rear.
The powerful, controllable braking performance gives you the confidence to ride faster and tackle more challenging trails, while hydraulic braking provides consistent performance in a wide range of conditions.
Wide, Tubeless-Compatible Tyres
The bike rolls on wide 2.4-inch tyres, providing excellent grip and stability on loose, muddy and uneven surfaces. The tubeless-compatible rims and tyres also give you the option to upgrade to a tubeless setup in the future.
The Marin aluminium double-wall rims feature a 29mm internal width, making them well suited to modern trail tyres.
27.5" or 29" Wheels
The Marin Bobcat Trail 5 is available with a choice of 27.5-inch or 29-inch wheels, allowing riders to select the setup that best suits their height, riding style and preferences.
