The Marin Gestalt 2 is your invitation to ride farther, explore deeper, and challenge what a drop-bar bike can do. Purpose-built for life Beyond Road, it delivers a refined balance of precision engineering, rugged capability, and upgrade-ready potential. Whether you’re chasing rough tarmac, gravel trails, or wet urban streets, the Gestalt 2 doesn’t just survive mixed conditions — it thrives in them.
At its core is Marin’s Series 3 Beyond Road aluminum frame, engineered from hydroformed and butted 6061 tubing for a responsive yet forgiving ride. With modern gravel geometry, internal cable routing, and compatibility with racks, fenders, and wide tires, it’s a versatile chassis equally suited for daily commutes, endurance rides, or multi-day bikepacking escapes. Matched to a full carbon fork with a tapered steerer and 12mm thru-axles, the Gestalt 2 delivers lightweight handling and confidence on everything from fast descents to washboard dirt.
The drivetrain is anchored by Shimano GRX RX400, a gravel-specific 2x10-speed system that offers smooth, reliable shifting across a wide gear range. The 46/30T crankset paired with an 11–36T cassette provides the gearing versatility needed for steep climbs and loaded touring, while Shimano hydraulic disc brakes give you precise, consistent stopping power in every condition — dry, wet, or unpredictable.
Rolling on tubeless-compatible alloy wheels and 700x35c Vee Tire Co. Zilent tires, the Gestalt 2 strikes the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and grip. Whether you’re navigating potholes, carving dirt corners, or covering long miles on mixed surfaces, this setup offers the durability and control you demand.
