Product Detail
The Marin DSX is an ideal modern flat-bar gravel bike. It features a zippy aluminum frame, a compliant fork, ample tire clearance, a low standover height, dropper post compatibility, and numerous options for bags and fenders. Inspired by the Gestalt X drop bar line, it combines the feel of an MTB with the ability to handle all types of adventures usually suited for drop bars. Whether you're logging road miles, commuting to work daily, embarking on multi - day epics, or enjoying flowy singletrack, the DSX is perfect for riders who prefer flat bars. The Marin DSX 1 takes it a step further with a higher - spec Series 3 aluminum frame. Bolt - thru axles enhance stiffness, and a carbon fork reduces weight and adds more mounting points for bikepacking bags. It also comes with a 1 x 11 - speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, WTB Riddler tires, Tektro hydraulic brakes, and many reliable Marin components.
Using your Marin DSX 1 is easy. Just hop on, adjust your seat height if needed, and start pedaling. This bike is great for different types of rides, like long road trips, daily commutes, or off - road singletrack adventures. When riding on rough terrain, make sure to keep a firm grip on the handlebars and use the dropper post if you have one to adjust your position. For maintenance, regularly check your tire pressure. The WTB Riddler tires need to be at the right pressure for a smooth ride. Also, clean your bike after each muddy or dirty ride. Wipe down the frame, and use a bike - specific cleaner on the drivetrain. Check the brakes regularly to make sure they're working properly. If you notice any strange noises or problems with the gears, take it to a professional bike mechanic. And don't forget to lubricate the chain every few rides to keep it running smoothly.
