Everyday Adventures

Urban Warrior
Out Of The Box Riding

Why just roll to the deli or ride to work when you can take a detour down your favorite dirt track on the way? It's an adventure bike, it's a gravel bike, it's a mountain bike, it's a commuter bike... it's whatever you want it to be.

Awarded Most Supple Bike of the Year 2021 by Path Less Pedaled, the Marin Larkspur 2 is a modern Mixte, turned up to 11. High volume 2.35” Vee Tire Co tires, 11-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes and a Tranz-X dropper post for added comfort and control. Let’s roll!

Technology

Steel Frame

The Muirwoods uses a butted Series 1 4130 CrMo frame and fork with 29” tires, disc brakes, full fender and rack mounts, and two bottle bosses. The Muirwoods RC uses a double butted Series 2 CrMo rame with sliding dropouts for internally geared hub compatibility and large volume 650B wheels and tires. Larkspur models also feature the butted Series 2 frame with a mixte stepthru design for easy mounting and dismounting, even with baskets and baby seats.

Wide-Range 1x Drivetrains

Both Larkspur models are built around modern, wide-range drivetrains, 10-speed on the Larkspur 1 and 11-speed on the Larkspur 2. These drivetrains are stout and have all the gearing most anyone could use, without relying on sometimes-fussy front derailleurs. Clutch-type rear derailleurs and narrow-wide front chainrings keep the chain on track, all the time.

Disc Brakes

Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance.
