The Bobcat Trail family of mountain bike hardtails are designed for the rider looking for a capable singletrack machine, featuring everything you need to have a great ride. The heart and soul of the ride stems from the lightweight Series 2 aluminum alloy frame, with long and low trail geometry and 27.5” or 29” wheels, 120mm of rock garden- ready travel, and internal housing routing. All Bobcat Trail models feature hydraulic disc brakes, and are available with wide-range off-road specific drivetrains.
