Cycling Tips
2020 Marin Gestalt X10 gravel bike review: The wheelie machine - CyclingTips

Apr 2020 · Caley Fretz

The Marin Gestalt X10 is a mountain biker’s gravel bike. It’s fun and flickable, aware that a bit of instability can be enjoyable, and designed for a rider whose range of terrain is almost wide enough to necessitate flat bars and suspension. That makes it something of a love-it or hate-it bike. It’s not traditional. […]

Highs
  • Loves to wheelie, fun when it gets in over its head on technical trail.

Lows
  • Brakes are terrible, 1x only could be an issue for some.

Whether you need something to act as drop bar commuter, gravel adventurer or just a hugely versatile road machine Marin’s Gestalt 2 is likely to win you over with confident handling, even if the frame and fork can be a little unforgiving for pure off-road use.
