Marin County California is regarded as the birthplace of mountain biking. With niche communities back then shaping what it is today, and with Marin Bikes' inception coming shortly after, the company has deep roots in the sport and now offers many styles of bikes to suit off-roaders and commuters alike.
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 top offering in the DSX rigid fork lineup, the new addition to the line is built around the same Series 3 frames and carbon fork as the DSX 2, but with SRAM's wide-range Apex 1 x 12 speed drivetrain and DB-300 hydraulic disc brakes and Vee Tire's Rocketman tires, which offer a bit more bite.
Key upgrades over the DSX 2
- SRAM Apex 1 x 12 speed drivetrain
- SRAM DB-300 hydraulic disc brakes
Series 3 Frame
The DSX FS, 2, and 1 feature a butted and formed Series 3 6061 aluminum frame with internal routing, 142x12mm thru-axles, flat mount disc brakes, and rack and fender eyelets.
Tyre Clearance
The DSX comes stock with 700x45mm tires, with room for 29x2.1” knobbies.
Disc Brakes
The DSX features the latest flat mount disc brake standard for smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance.
Dropper Post Routing
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.
