An aluminum frame gravel bike with upper mid-range components and sram apex hydraulic disc brakes.

Highs
  • Progressive geometry makes single track a blast with little compromise on mellower terrain

  • Wide (480 mm) bars paired nicely with the aforementioned geometry

  • Relatively good value

Lows
  • Very low stack height

  • 27.2 mm seatpost limits dropper post options

Marin Gestalt XR review

Aug 2023

The Gestalt XR takes the formula that Marin concocted for the standard Gestalt and gives it a serious shake up. Donning a super aggressive geometry and equipped with a very solid built kit for the cash, it proves that gravel can learn a thing or two from mountain bike design. With that, this bike is a weapon over flat surfaces and pushes what we know as ‘gravel’ even further, however, it's not perfect as its climbing ability is hindered by its gearing choices.
