Premium Carbon Gravel Performance
Meet the Marin Headlands 3 2026 Gravel Bike in Green, Marin’s top-tier gravel build, designed for riders who demand exceptional performance, premium components and the freedom to explore beyond the beaten track. Combining a lightweight carbon frame, SRAM’s wireless 13-speed Rival XPLR drivetrain and a fast, efficient carbon wheelset, the Headlands 3 is built for gravel nirvana.
Whether you're tackling long-distance gravel adventures, winding country lanes or challenging off-road trails, this premium gravel bike delivers the confidence, versatility and performance to take your riding further.
A Carbon Gravel Bike Built for Adventure
At the heart of the Headlands 3 is Marin’s Unidirectional Carbon Beyond Road Platform, engineered specifically for gravel riding and long-distance exploration. The lightweight carbon frame and matching carbon fork provide a refined balance of stiffness, comfort and efficiency, helping you make the most of every ride.
One of the standout features is the integrated Bear Box downtube storage, giving you a practical, in-frame space for essential tools, spare parts and ride-day supplies. With clearance for tyres up to 700c x 50mm, internal cable routing, flat-mount disc brakes and mounting points for mudguards and a rear carrier, the Headlands 3 is ready for everything from fast gravel blasts to fully loaded adventures.
SRAM Rival XPLR Wireless 13-Speed Drivetrain
The Headlands 3 is equipped with a full SRAM Rival XPLR wireless 1x13-speed transmission, delivering crisp, reliable shifting and a clean, modern cockpit. The 40T SRAM Rival XPLR crankset provides a versatile single-chainring setup, while the 13-speed cassette and XPLR rear derailleur offer the range needed for steep climbs, fast descents and varied gravel terrain.
Paired with SRAM Rival XPLR hydraulic disc brakes and 160mm rotors front and rear, you get powerful, controlled braking performance in changing weather and demanding conditions.
Carbon Wheels and Tubeless-Ready Tyres
The premium build is completed with a Novatec G24 Carbon wheelset, featuring a stiff, lightweight and efficient design that helps deliver responsive acceleration and confident handling. The 24mm internal rim width is tubeless compatible, making it a strong choice for riders looking to optimise comfort, grip and puncture resistance on gravel.
Vee Tire Co. QuikStyk 700x45 folding tyres provide a capable balance of speed and off-road traction, while the tubeless-compatible design gives you the option to tailor your setup to your riding style.
TranzX Dropper Post and Marin Finishing Kit
The Headlands 3 goes beyond a conventional gravel bike with a TranzX YSP38J dropper seatpost. With 70mm of travel on sizes 49–54 and 110mm on sizes 56–60, the dropper makes it easier to lower your centre of gravity on technical descents and more challenging off-road sections.
A Marin compact flared drop handlebar, Marin 3D forged alloy stem, shock-absorbing bar tape and Marin Beyond Road Concept Elite saddle complete this boutique gravel build, providing a comfortable and confident riding position for long days in the saddle.
