Schwalbe G-One Performance Tires
The Headlands takes what we have learned with the alloy Gestalt X line, and brings the spirit into an all-new, full carbon-fiber frameset.
Named after one of the most iconic sections of coastline and Insta-inspiring gravel riding of the American West, the new Marin Headlands embodies everything about this beautiful and rugged terrain. A full unidirectional carbon chassis is purpose-built for multi-surface adventures, be they short days or long weeks in the saddle. The 1x specific construction of the frame means short chainstays that still fit up to 700x45mm/650Bx47mm tires, and paired with the longer top tube and shorter stems the bike takes cues from modern mountain bikes on a technical off-road trail, while still maintaining a comfortable, fast, and efficient ride on flatter terrain. Internal housing routing and tons of mounts on the frame allow you to fit the bike with anything from water and tubes, to a full custom frame bag from your favorite maker using the attachments found around the front triangle, while conventional rack and fender mounts can transition the bike into a capable winter commuter.
CARBON FRAME AND FORK
The heart of the Headlands is the unidirectional carbon fiber frame and full carbon fork with thru-axles front and rear and clearance for up to 700Cx45 or 650Bx50 tires creating our lightest, highest performance Beyond Road bike to date.
LONG, LOW, AND SLACK
“Long, low, and slack” trail mountain bike geometry has made its way into the Headlands, with features specifically designed to provide an engaging and exciting ride on singletrack trail or tarmac, be it up or down.
EYELET VERSATILITY
Plentiful eyelets on the frame allow for customization of gear and water storage and unlock the possibilities for customized frame bags to match your riding style.
WIDE-RANGE 1X DRIVETRAIN
The Headlands frame is specifically designed for wide range 1x drivetrains, allowing us to achieve short 420mm chainstays with 700x45mm max tire clearance
