Go Further. Ride Anywhere.
The Marin Gestalt 1 Gravel Bike in Gloss White is built for riders who want one versatile bike that can handle everything from fast road rides and daily commutes to gravel trails, muddy lanes and weekend adventures. Whether you're tackling Liverpool's roads, heading out into the countryside or planning a bikepacking escape, the Gestalt 1 is ready to keep going when the tarmac ends.
Stepping up from the entry-level Gestalt, the Gestalt 1 features Marin's Series 3 6061 aluminium Beyond Road frame paired with a lightweight full carbon fibre fork. The frame combines a responsive, comfortable ride with practical features including internal cable routing, mudguard mounts and rack mounts, making it an excellent choice for commuting, touring and longer-distance gravel riding.
At the heart of the bike is a Shimano Sora 2x9-speed drivetrain, offering a wide range of gears for everything from fast stretches of road to steep climbs and rougher terrain. The Shimano R345 compact 50/34T crankset works with an 11-32T cassette to provide plenty of gearing versatility.
For confident stopping in changing conditions, the Gestalt 1 uses Tektro MD-C550 dual-piston mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors front and rear. The bike rolls on WTB Exposure Comp 700x36c tyres, providing a fast-rolling yet capable setup for road, gravel and mixed surfaces. The tubeless-compatible Marin aluminium wheels also offer added versatility for riders looking to explore further.
With its combination of quality components, practical frame features and adventure-ready geometry, the Marin Gestalt 1 delivers exceptional value without compromising on capability.
