Adventure-Ready Gravel Performance
Take your riding further with the Marin Headlands 2 2026 Gravel Bike in Bone Grey, available at The Rolling Fix, your independent bicycle store in Liverpool. Designed for riders who want to explore beyond the tarmac, this premium carbon gravel bike combines a lightweight, adventure-ready frame with a high-performance Shimano GRX 12-speed groupset and confidence-inspiring off-road capability.
Whether you're tackling gravel trails, exploring country lanes, commuting across Liverpool or planning your next bikepacking adventure, the Marin Headlands 2 is built to deliver a fast, comfortable and seriously fun ride.
Full Carbon Frame & Fork
At the heart of the Headlands 2 is Marin's Unidirectional Carbon Beyond Road Platform. The full carbon frame and fork offer a lightweight foundation for long-distance adventures, fast gravel riding and everyday exploration.
With clearance for tyres up to 700c x 50mm, the Headlands 2 gives you the flexibility to run wider rubber for added grip and comfort on rougher terrain. Internal cable routing keeps the bike looking clean, while mudguard and rear carrier mounts make it easy to adapt the bike for commuting, touring and bikepacking.
The frame also features UDH dropout compatibility, flat mount disc brakes, 142x12mm rear thru-axle spacing and convenient Bear Box downtube storage for carrying essential tools, spares or snacks on the go.
Shimano GRX 12-Speed Gravel Groupset
The Marin Headlands 2 comes equipped with a full Shimano GRX drivetrain and braking setup, delivering dependable shifting and powerful braking performance across a wide range of riding conditions.
The Shimano GRX RX820 12-speed drivetrain features a 1x setup with a 42T crankset and Shimano GRX RDX822 Shadow Plus rear derailleur with clutch technology. This gravel-specific configuration keeps things simple and reliable, with a wide range of gears for climbing, cruising and tackling challenging terrain.
Hydraulic Shimano GRX RX820 disc brakes provide controlled, confident stopping power, helping you stay in control when descending steep gravel tracks or riding in changing weather conditions.
Dropper Post for Added Confidence
One of the standout features of the Headlands 2 is its TranzX dropper seatpost. With 70mm or 110mm of travel depending on frame size, the dropper post allows you to lower your saddle on descents, giving you more freedom of movement and increased confidence when tackling technical gravel trails.
Combined with the bike's stable Beyond Road geometry, this makes the Headlands 2 a capable choice for riders who want to venture beyond traditional gravel roads.
Fast-Rolling Tyres & Tubeless-Ready Wheels
Marin has equipped the Headlands 2 with Vee Tire Co. QuikStyk 700x45c folding tyres. These fast-rolling gravel tyres offer a balance of speed, grip and comfort, making them well suited to mixed-surface riding.
The Marin aluminium double-wall wheels feature 23mm internal rims and are tubeless compatible, giving you the option to run a tubeless setup for improved puncture protection, lower pressures and enhanced off-road comfort.
Built for Adventure
With its carbon frame, gravel-specific Shimano GRX groupset, hydraulic disc brakes, dropper post and versatile mounting options, the Marin Headlands 2 2026 is ready for much more than your average road ride.
From exploring the gravel tracks around Merseyside to heading further afield on a multi-day bikepacking trip, this Bone Grey gravel bike offers a blend of speed, capability and versatility that makes every ride an adventure.
