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.
