The Marin Bobcat Trail 5 Complete Mountain Bike is the classic hardtail of today. With a relatively slack trail inspired geo, the Bobcat Trail 5 is more than capable of handling some techy rock gardens and root sections, and it'll do it without sacrificing pedaling efficiency, so you can fly on climbs and rolling terrain. If you're looking to get into the mountain bike game for the first time, or are simply looking for a capable hardtail to go a little deeper, the Marin Bobcat Trail 5 Complete Mountain Bike should be on your short list.
