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 Marin DSX is everything we want from a modern, flat-bar gravel bike. Zippy aluminum frames, carbon forks, heaps of tire clearance, low standover, dropper post compatibility, and a whole load of options for bags and fenders. Based around the Gestalt X drop-bar, we made the DSX to feel like an MTB but still cut it on all of those adventures that would normally demand curly bars. The Marin DSX 2 is built around a Series 3 aluminum frame and a lightweight, carbon fork that’s packed with mounting points for bikepacking gear. There’s also a 12-speed 1X Shimano Deore drivetrain, WTB Riddler tires, Tektro hydraulic brakes, and plenty of reliable Marin components. Key upgrades over the DSX 1: - Shimano Deore 6100 1x12 drivetrain - Tektro R285 hydraulic disc brakes
