Gravel

The Gestalt is for the drop bar rider that doesn't want to stick to pavement and can't help but get dirty no matter the route. Long distance commuters and all-weather riders will appreciate features like fender and rack mounts, sure stopping disc brakes, and the comfort larger volume tires provide on unexpected detours. - Series 2 Beyond Road alloy frame - Aluminum fork - Marin aluminum double-wall rims, tubeless-compatible - Shimano Claris 2x8 gearing - Promax cable disc brakes

LONG DISTANCE MIXED SURFACE COMMUTING GRAVEL RIDING ADVENTURE ON AND OFF-ROAD RIDING The DSX is the mountain biker’s gravel bike with familiar hand positioning, reliable 1x drivetrains, large tire clearance, and dropper post routing for better off-road control, and on-road descending stability. Hopping up to a higher-spec Series 3 aluminum frame, the Marin DSX 1 has a whole heap of upgrades over the base spec version. Bolt-thru axles add stiffness and a carbon fork drops the weight and adds even more mounting points for bikepacking bags. There’s also an 11-speed 1X Shimano Deore drivetrain, WTB Riddler tires, Tektro hydraulic brakes, and plenty of reliable Marin components.

The Gestalt series takes you Beyond Road. These endurance models let you take any path you feel comfortable with, whether it be on the asphalt or up a gravel road with a secret view. The lightweight butted aluminum Series 3 frames feature clearance for up to 35mm tires, wide-range drivetrains, fender eyelets, and powerful road-specific disc brakes to make any terrain and weather manageable. Unleash yourself on the areas you’ve been timid to take drop bars before, with the speed and confidence necessary to take you Beyond Roads.
