The Marin Gestalt 2 is a versatile gravel bike built for riders who enjoy smooth pavement, gravel roads and forest trails alike. Featuring a lightweight Series 3 aluminum frame, a carbon fork and Shimano GRX components, it combines sporty performance with everyday practicality and long-distance comfort.
Marin's Beyond Road Series 3 aluminum frame delivers a balanced ride with confident handling on mixed terrain. The carbon fork helps absorb vibrations, while thru-axles and internally routed cables contribute to both stiffness and a clean, premium appearance.
One of the Gestalt 2's standout features is the integrated Bear Box inside the down tube. Borrowed from Marin's premium Headlands carbon gravel bikes, this clever storage compartment provides a convenient place for tools, a spare tube, tire levers or snacks, keeping your essentials safely stored inside the frame instead of in a saddle bag.
The Gestalt 2 is equipped with a proven Shimano GRX RX400 2x10 drivetrain. Its 46/30-tooth crankset and wide gear range provide suitable gearing for everything from fast road rides to steep gravel climbs. Designed specifically for mixed-terrain riding, the GRX groupset delivers reliable shifting and excellent performance in all conditions.
Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, confidence-inspiring braking with precise modulation, giving you reliable control on fast descents and technical gravel sections regardless of the weather.
The 40 mm Delium Rifter tires offer excellent grip and comfort across gravel, dirt roads and pavement. Both the tires and rims are tubeless-compatible, allowing riders to convert to a tubeless setup for improved puncture resistance and lower tire pressures. The compact Marin alloy handlebar with 16 degrees of flare improves stability and control on rough terrain.
Mounting points for mudguards and a rear rack make the Gestalt 2 equally at home as a commuter, touring bike or bikepacking companion. Its combination of comfort, versatility and premium frame features makes it an excellent choice for riders looking to explore beyond the pavement.
