FLAT BAR GRAVEL REDEFINED
The DSX 1 is the accessible all-rounder in Marin’s flat bar gravel range—perfect for riders who want one bike to handle commutes, fitness rides, and weekend gravel routes. It delivers confident handling, adventure-ready gearing, and a fast-rolling 700c setup—without breaking the bank. Whether you’re new to gravel or just want a capable, fun machine at great value, this is the one.

LIGHTWEIGHT FRAMESET
At the heart of the DSX 1 is a Series 3 6061 aluminium frame with modern gravel geometry, now featuring a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) for improved drivetrain protection and easy replacement, internal cable routing, and wide tyre clearance for up to 45mm rubber. Paired with a full carbon fork and 12mm thru-axles front and rear, it’s responsive and precise on paved climbs, dirt paths, or loose gravel descents.

MARIN QUALITY
Marin has been designing bikes for the everyday explorer for decades, and the DSX 1 continues that legacy. Thoughtful details like rack and fender mounts, disc brake integration, and reliable spec choices make this a bike that’s ready to go the distance—whether you're rolling to work or chasing weekend escapes.

MARIN FULL CARBON FORK

TEKTRO HD-R285 HYDRAULIC BRAKES
Designed specifically for gravel and endurance riding, the HD-R285 brakes offer powerful modulation with a smooth, consistent lever feel. Paired with 160mm rotors, they provide confident braking on everything from city streets to dirt descents.

WTB RIDDLER 700X45MM TYRES
A fast center tread for efficiency and outer knobs for grip—WTB’s Riddler tyres strike the perfect balance for gravel and urban riding. With generous volume and multi-surface traction, they’re ready for pavement, hardpack, and light trail sections.

TUBELESS-COMPATIBLE WHEELS
