Marin DSX 2 2025 (orange)
Marin DSX is exactly what we want from a modern flat-bar gravel bike – fast, comfortable, versatile and ready for every adventure.
A lightweight aluminium frame, carbon fork, plenty of tyre clearance, a low top tube, dropper post compatibility and a host of mounting points for bags and mudguards. Built on the foundations of the Gestalt X, the DSX keeps the ride characteristics of a mountain bike, but is also ready for trips that would once have called for pack mules.
The Marin DSX 2 offers:
- Series 3 aluminium frame
- Lightweight carbon fork with bikepacking mounting points
- 12-speed Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain – simple, efficient and reliable
- Tektro R285 hydraulic disc brakes – smooth and powerful braking in all weather
- WTB Riddler tyres – fast on tarmac, confident on gravel
- And of course proven components from Marin
Key improvements over the DSX 1:
- Shimano Deore M6100 1x12 drivetrain
- Tektro R285 hydraulic brakes
The DSX 2 is an ideal choice for gravel riders who want a fast and versatile flat-bar bike suitable both for everyday riding and for longer adventures off the tarmac.
