Marin DSX 1 Gravel Bike – 700c

Blurring the lines between a rugged mountain bike and a fast-rolling gravel machine, this is the ultimate bike for the rider who refuses to be defined by one surface. It’s built for the challenging daily commute, the long-distance weekend adventure on dirt roads, and every unpredictable path in between. This is the bike for those who want gravel speed with mountain bike confidence.

This versatile bike delivers the best of both worlds. Its lightweight aluminum frame and full carbon fork provide the efficiency and vibration-damping comfort needed for long days in the saddle. A stable yet playful geometry, paired with a flat handlebar, gives you the commanding control of a mountain bike, letting you navigate technical trails and chaotic city streets with equal confidence. This isn't just a hybrid; it's a new breed of all-road machine.

• Responsive Aluminum & Carbon Frameset: The high-performance aluminum frame offers a stiff and lightweight platform for efficient pedaling, while the full carbon fork smooths out rough terrain and absorbs road buzz for enhanced comfort and control.

• Mountain-Ready 1x Drivetrain: Featuring a clutch-equipped 11-speed rear derailleur and a massive 11-51T cassette, this drivetrain provides crisp shifting, excellent chain retention on bumpy trails, and an enormous gear range to conquer the steepest climbs.

• Powerful Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes deliver smooth, powerful, and consistent stopping power with minimal effort, giving you complete confidence in all weather conditions, from wet pavement to dusty descents.

• Fast-Rolling, High-Grip Tires: Wide 700x45mm all-terrain tires provide the perfect balance of low rolling resistance on pavement and tenacious grip on loose dirt and gravel, encouraging you to explore beyond the tarmac.

• Adventure-Ready Design: With a full suite of rack and fender mounts, internal cable routing for a clean look, and durable thru-axles, this bike is fully equipped for commuting, bikepacking, and all-weather riding.
