The San Rafael and San Anselmo DS2 are made for riders who crave freedom—freedom to explore pavement, gravel, rail-trails, and light off-road routes without limits. Whether you're looking to build fitness, commute in comfort, or break away for weekend adventure rides, the DS2 series offers the perfect balance of versatility, capability, and confidence.
Building on the strong foundation of the DS1, the DS2 introduces significant performance upgrades to elevate your riding experience:
SR Suntour NEX HLO fork with 63mm of travel and hydraulic lockout, allowing you to fine-tune suspension for efficient climbing or plush control over bumps
Shimano 2x8-speed drivetrain with RapidFire Plus shifting for smooth, intuitive gear changes across varied terrain
Tektro HD-M275 hydraulic disc brakes for enhanced stopping power in all conditions—wet, dry, or dusty
At the heart of the DS2 is a lightweight Series 2 Dual Sport 6061 aluminum frame, purpose-built for 700C wheels and fitted with disc brakes. Its geometry is tuned for comfort and control, giving riders a confident stance whether navigating urban streets or rolling along unpaved trails.
Equipped with Marin aluminum double wall rims and Vee Rail 700x40C tires, this bike is trail-tough and road-fast. Forged aluminum hubs with 14g stainless steel spokes ensure strength and reliability, while the tire profile balances efficient rolling on pavement with grip on loose or uneven surfaces.
Ergonomics and comfort are central to the DS2’s design, featuring:
Marin riser handlebar and locking ergonomic grips for upright control
Plush Marin fitness saddle for all-day riding ease
Dual sport platform pedals that are ready for any footwear
Other premium touches—like the sealed cartridge bottom bracket, forged alloy crank with integrated ring guard, and a wide-range 11-34T cassette—round out a build designed for performance and reliability.
Perfect For:
Fitness riders who want to mix pavement with occasional trails
Commuters needing a do-it-all bike for any weather or surface
Recreational riders looking to explore parks, rail-trails, and natural paths
