The Marin DSX is everything you want from a modern, flat-bar gravel bike. Zippy aluminum frame, compliant fork, heaps of tire clearance, low standover, dropper post compatibility and a whole load of options for bags and fenders. Taking inspiration from the Gestalt X drop bar line, Marin made the DSX to feel like an MTB but still cut it on all of those adventures that would normally demand curly bars. Perfect for racking up road miles, daily grinds to work, multi-day epics and flowy singletrack, the DSX is the perfect modern gravel bike for riders that prefer their bars flat.
The most affordable member of the family, the Marin DSX feels high-end, but doesn’t blow your adventure budget. It has a Series 2 6061 aluminum frame with internal cable routing, and rack and fender eyelets. The matching 6061 aluminum fork is also packed with mounting points for bikepacking gear. There’s also a 1 x 9-speed microSHIFT drivetrain, WTB Riddler 700c x 45mm tires with clearance up to 29” x 2.1”. Clark’s hydraulic brakes with the latest flat mount disc brake standard ensure smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance. Dropper posts are quickly becoming standard fare for gravel racers and riders that spend significant time on rough surfaces, and the DSX features internal dropper post routing for easy upgrades.
