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.
Now available, a limited-edition colorway that takes inspiration from the most iconic part of the Marin Headlands. Painted in Pacific Ocean blue, and fading to International Orange, better known as the signature color of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Headlands frame kit is the perfect platform for you to build up your next dream bike.
The full unidirectional carbon chassis is purpose-built for multi-surface adventures, be they short days or long weeks in the saddle.The 1x specific construction of the frame means short chainstays that still fit up to 700x45mm/650Bx47mm tires, and paired with the longer top tube and shorter stems the bike takes cues from modern mountain bikes on technical off-road trail, while still maintaining a comfortable, fast, and efficient ride on flatter terrain. Internal housing routing and tons of mounts on the frame allow you to fit the bike with anything from water and tubes, to a full custom frame bag from your favorite maker using the attachments found around the front triangle, while conventional rack and fender mounts can transition the bike into a capable winter commuter.
Frame kit includes frame, fork, headset, seat collar, and thru axles.
