Marin Dsx 1

The Marin DSX 1 is a versatile flat-bar gravel bike designed for riders who want a comfortable, controlled setup for gravel roads, commuting, touring and mixed-surface adventures. It features a Series 3 6061 aluminum frame with a tapered head tube, internal cable routing and practical mounts for racks and mudguards. The full-carbon fork helps reduce front-end weight while providing a responsive ride and additional versatility for adventure setups. A Shimano CUES 10-speed drivetrain offers a wide 11-48T gear range for tackling climbs and varied terrain. WTB Riddler 700x45C tires provide a balance of traction and rolling efficiency, while Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors deliver dependable stopping control.
