The Marin Hawk Hill is an affordable, entry-level mountain bike. It has 120mm of travel in the rear MultiTrac suspension. This makes it ideal for cross-country and enduro terrain.

If you really get into trail riding, if you’re not as extreme as enduro and not as performance orientated as XC…I’m a XC rider mostly…that for trail riding on a budget the Marin Hawk Hill 1 is a great choice.
