Expirience with the Marin Wildcat Trail 3

Ludwig Döhl The Marin Wildcat Trail 3 was designed for use in tours with lots of high meters. And that's exactly where it shines. The 425 mm short chainstays make for playful handling. In the saddle of the on long tours in light terrain your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Marin Downcountry-Bike to tours with lots of high meters a buying recommendation in the price range 769 Euro range. With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
