That gravel bike just not quite rad enough? The Marin Gestalt XR is here to bring even more rad to your favorite rides.
It Stands For eXtra Rad
Please be upstanding for the all-new Marin Gestalt XR, the perfect drop handlebar bar bike for off-road adventures and showing those mountain bikers how to shred.
Is it a gravel bike? Is it a drop bar mountain bike? Is it a bikepacking bike? Yes to all of the above! Who cares about definitions and pigeonholes? All you need to know is that the XR stands for eXtra Rad!
Gravel What Now..?
Gravel biking has really blown up in the last few years, and we're proud to be leading the charge here at Marin Bikes.
It's the perfect way to explore the outdoors, combining most of the zippy-on-the-tarmac benefits of a road bike and most of the trail shredability of a mountain bike. Singletrack, doubletrack, ride to work, ride for fun, gravel race, the gravel bike does it all and pretty much anything else.
So why eXtra Rad? Ever been on a gravel ride and thought "I wonder if I could ride down that?..". It was born out of exactly that, the curiosity to push our drop bar bikes just a little further. To break off the fire road, down the singletrack and further, faster and harder than before. All while keeping the versatility and challenge of a bike with curly handlebars.
That's where the 2023 Marin Gestalt XR comes in. This drop bar mountain bike-cum-gravel bike is built to handle anything you can throw at it. In our book, it's the best gravel bike for off-road adventures that might get a little extra rad.
No Stone Unturned
First, let's talk about what sets the Marin Gestalt XR apart from other gravel bikes. It starts with the frame and fork.
We built the Gestalt XR with a deluxe Series 3 aluminum frame. It's lightweight, super durable and built with a heap of cool details including a tapered headtube, internal cable routing and a 142X12mm thru-axle.
We've left no stone unturned in creating the gravel bike that we want to ride.
