Meet the Marin Gestalt Base 2026 Gravel Bike in Black – a versatile, adventure-ready bike designed to take you from smooth tarmac and city streets to gravel tracks, country lanes and dirt backroads. Whether you're looking for your first gravel bike, a dependable daily commuter or a capable machine for weekend adventures, the Gestalt Base offers an impressive blend of comfort, control and value.
At its heart is Marin's lightweight Series 2 6061 aluminium Beyond Road frame, featuring internal cable routing for a clean, premium finish. The frame includes mounts for mudguards and a rear rack, making the Gestalt a practical choice for commuting, bikepacking and longer-distance adventures.
The 700c wheels are paired with chunky 40mm Delium Rifter tyres, giving you additional grip and comfort when the road gets rough. The tyres are also tubeless-compatible, giving you the option to upgrade your setup in the future.
When the terrain gets technical, the 16-degree flared drop handlebars provide extra stability and control, while the compact drop-bar design keeps the bike responsive on both road and gravel. Shimano Claris 2x8-speed gearing, with a 50/34T FSA Tempo Compact crankset, provides a useful spread of gears for everything from fast road riding to tackling steeper climbs.
Stopping power comes from Tektro MD-C400 mechanical disc brakes, with 160mm rotors front and rear. They provide dependable all-weather braking performance, giving you confidence when conditions turn wet or the trails get challenging.
Finished in a sleek Black colourway and supplied with platform pedals, the Marin Gestalt Base 2026 is ready to ride straight out of the box.
