The Gestalt X is our hard-charging, rough-and-rowdy take on what gravel and adventure bikes can do. Break off the fire road, down the singletrack and charge further and faster than ever before. All while keeping the versatility, challenge and fun of a bike with drop handlebars.

The Gestalt X is built with a longer-than-the-usual wheelbase, slack-like-your-mountain-bike head angle, low-slung frame, wide bars, short stem, big and chunky tires with room for up to 50mm on 700c or 54mm with a 650b wheelset.

The Gestalt XR takes gravel to the next level. XR brings our MTB-inspired, Series 3 aluminum Gestalt X frame and adds a gravel-specific SRAM Apex 12-speed drivetrain, Apex hydraulic disc brakes, a TranzX dropper post, cushy and grippy 44mm wide Vee Tire Rubber and heaps of our own bespoke Marin components.
