Marin DSX 1 700c - Silver - 2025

The Marin DSX 1 is a high-performance gravel-adventure hybrid built for long-distance mixed-surface commuting, off-road exploration, and endurance rides. Designed with gravel-inspired geometry and a lightweight Series 3 aluminum frame, this bike is perfect for riders who want the efficiency of a drop-bar gravel bike but with the comfort and control of a flat-bar setup.

With key upgrades like a full carbon fork, thru-axles, and a 1x11 Shimano Deore drivetrain, the DSX 1 is ready for adventure. Wide WTB Riddler 700x45mm tires offer confidence across various terrains, while Tektro hydraulic disc brakes ensure powerful stopping power in all conditions.
