When your rides go beyond the limits of pavement and into the unknown, the Marin Gestalt 2 is the tool that keeps pace with your ambition. Whether it’s a dawn-to-dusk bikepacking adventure, a rugged gravel grind, or a soaked, pothole-strewn commute, the Gestalt 2 is purpose-built to thrive where others falter. With its performance-focused geometry, precision drivetrain, and trail-ready spec, this bike is your gateway to the Beyond Road category.
At the heart of the Gestalt 2 is Marin’s premium Series 3 aluminum frame — lightweight, strong, and engineered with attention to detail. The heavily formed and butted 6061 tubeset delivers a balance of stiffness and compliance, while thoughtful touches like internal cable routing, flat mount disc compatibility, and mounts for fenders and racks ensure this platform is as functional as it is fast.
Matched to the frame is a full carbon fork with a tapered steerer and thru-axle interface, offering confident steering and excellent vibration damping. Whether you're skimming over washboard gravel or dodging city traffic, the fork's responsiveness and comfort make long rides feel effortless.
Where the Gestalt 2 truly steps up is in its drivetrain and braking performance. Outfitted with Shimano GRX RX400 2x10-speed, the Gestalt 2 brings gravel-specific engineering to every shift. With a wide-range 11–36T cassette and 46/30T crankset, it's equally suited to spirited road efforts and steep, off-road climbs. Paired with Shimano’s hydraulic disc brakes, you get exceptional modulation and all-weather stopping power — a must for unpredictable surfaces and technical descents.
