LONG DISTANCE MIXED SURFACE COMMUTING GRAVEL RIDING ADVENTURE ON AND OFF-ROAD RIDING The DSX is the mountain biker’s gravel bike with familiar hand positioning, reliable 1x drivetrains, large tire clearance, and dropper post routing for better off-road control, and on-road descending stability. Hopping up to a higher-spec Series 3 aluminum frame, the Marin DSX 1 has a whole heap of upgrades over the base spec version. Bolt-thru axles add stiffness and a carbon fork drops the weight and adds even more mounting points for bikepacking bags. There’s also an 11-speed 1X Shimano Deore drivetrain, WTB Riddler tires, Tektro hydraulic brakes, and plenty of reliable Marin components.

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 Marin DSX 2 is built around a Series 3 aluminum frame and a lightweight, carbon fork that’s packed with mounting points for bikepacking gear. There’s also a 12-speed 1X Shimano Deore drivetrain, WTB Riddler tires, Tektro hydraulic brakes, and plenty of reliable Marin components. Key upgrades over the DSX 1: - Shimano Deore 6100 1x12 drivetrain - Tektro R285 hydraulic disc brakes

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. KEY UPGRADES FROM THE DSX 2: - SRAM Apex 1 x 12-speed drivetrain - SRAM DB-300 hydraulic disc brakes

The Gestalt series takes you Beyond Road. These endurance models let you take any path you feel comfortable, whether it be on the asphalt or up a gravel road with a secret view. The lightweight butted aluminum Series 3 frames feature clearance for up to 35mm tires, wide-range drivetrains, fender eyelets, and powerful road-specific disc brakes to make any terrain and weather manageable. Unleash yourself on the areas you’ve been timid to take drop bars before, with the speed and confidence necessary to take you Beyond Roads.

Daily trips and weekend escapes are all within the Gestalt's wheelhouse, with no stopping when the asphalt turns to dirt. The Gestalt 2 has superb bang-for-your-buck, with fine components that'll chew up your favorite routes and heaps of upgrade potential should you need it. The Gestalt 2 is built around our Series 3 aluminum frame and full carbon fork, matched perfectly with Vee Tire Co tires, Shimano GRX 400 2x10-speed drivetrain, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and plenty of quality Marin components. SERIES 2 OR 3 FRAME The Gestalt features a butted and formed Series 2 6061 aluminum frame with internal routing, disc brakes, and rack and fender eyelets. Series 3 frames add thru-axles and a tapered headtube. BEYOND ROAD GEOMETRY Beyond Road Geometry offers a blend of endurance road handling with enhanced stability for off pavement use. DISC BRAKES Disc brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance.

The Gestalt X is made to expand your horizons even further beyond roads. We extended the possibilities of the Gestalt by adding generous tire clearance, lowering the stand-over, using solely one-by drivetrains, adding dropper post routing, and tuning the geometry for more adventurous riding. This is the dropbar bike for the rider looking for singletrack no matter what the occasion, the perfect bike to ride the road both to and from the trail and cut through unexplored places to find new routes.

Steel Commuter and Gravel Bike Preamble is a hard-boiled steel commuter built for comfort, durability, and buffoonery on pavement and gravel. Nothing More is Needed. Nothing Less Will Do. The challenge was thus: Build a serious steel bike and give it only the attributes that matter most. Make it quick and comfortable on pavement, as well as confident and compliant on degraded surfaces. What the Enginerds put forth is Preamble, a pavement and gravel utility worker that proves you don't need to cut corners or clip coupons to make a more affordable steel bike. You just need to keep shit simple. Preamble can run racks and fenders and carry a couple water bottles. Surly was raised on stealing basic cable, after all. Smooth and efficient on asphalt, Preamble's double-butted main triangle provides a resplendent ride feel and withstands abuse from life's inevitable potholes. Make it your own with flat bars, drop bars, a basket, or bags. On the road to steel euphoria, Preamble is the gateway drug. Let facts be submitted to a candid world: - Offered in flat-bar and drop-bar configurations - Easy T-Shirt sizing to fit nearly every rider (XS, S, M, L, XL) - Sloping top tubes on XS and Small frames for improved standover and comfort - To offer the best rider experience for every frame size, XS and S frames get 650b wheelsets while M–XL get 700c - Custom-cast single-position vertical dropout

Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, toe the start line at your first gravel race, or simply get the most versatile bike on the road or dirt, no bike is better than the new Diverge. It's quite simply the fastest, most capable - and just maybe the most fun - alloy bike we've ever made, delivering a ride that's quick and lively, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. With all-new gravel geometry and category leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything we've learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. It's the ultimate getaway vehicle. With a premium E5 alloy frame and a full carbon FACT fork the Diverge E5 delivers a fast, confident and comfortable ride on road, in the dirt, and over thick gravel. Shimano's Claris 2x8 group gives a wide range of gears for any terrain, while Axis Elite alloy wheels and Pathfinder Sport 38mm tires provide an efficient ride on pavement with the versatility for hard pack dirt riding. - Nothing unlocks a bike's capability like tire clearance, so we gave the new Diverge a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1-inch with a 650b wheel. Thanks to a drive side chain stay utilizing a machined alloy beam behind the chain rings we've created clearance without using a fragile dropped chain stay design or increasing chain stay length. - Our Premium E5 Aluminum frame provides a stiff, light, and durable platform. When mated to our full carbon FACT fork, the Diverge Base E5 becomes a light, lively and versatile bike ready to attack any surface. - We tossed gravel geometry 'status-quo' out the window.

We've increased the frame's reach, introduced a slacker head tube and a longer offset fork. All this creates incredible confidence with a planted feeling in the dirt, while spec'ing shorter stems keeps the overall cockpit length the same and the steering lively. We've kept the bike's BB low to increase stability, but high enough to utilize with 650b wheels if that's your jam. - We've given the Diverge plenty of rack mounts, including fork and top tube mounts, to ensure you can take what you need, no matter how far you plan to go, or how long you plan to stay out.

Straggler is a bikepacking-inspired road/gravel bike mostly at home on pavement but ready for trail duty when called. Born on Gravel. Raised on Pavement Straggler is tuned for cross-over exploration on a wide variety of terrain conditions. It's a day-tripper and a weekender. It's a "rough road" road bike, a cyclocross bike with no pretense about racing, a utilitarian townie, a light-duty touring bike and an all-weather commuter. It's a steel gravel bicycle that thrives on the road. Think of it as a "mountain biker's road bike." If you only have room for one bike in your life, Straggler can (and should) be your one and only.
