Marin Bikes | 2022 DSX

Built for riders who want the speed of a road bike with the freedom to explore beyond pavement.

The Marin DSX is an adventure-focused flat bar bike designed for riders seeking versatility, comfort, and confidence across city streets, gravel roads, bike paths, and mixed terrain.

Built around Marin’s Series 2 DSX aluminum platform, the 2022 DSX combines stable geometry, wide tire clearance, hydraulic disc brakes, and a reliable MicroSHIFT Advent drivetrain into a fast and capable all-road machine. Unlike traditional hybrids that prioritize pavement only, the DSX is built for riders who want to commute, explore, train, and ride rougher surfaces without limitations.
