Marin DSX
Gravel bike
Our gravel hire bike is the excellent Marin DSX.
Touted as “the mountain biker’s gravel bike”, the DSX has powerful disk brakes and high-volume tyres to make all terrains smooth and comfy.
It has a flat handlebar, meaning you don’t need to know how to ride curly ‘drop’ bars and plenty of gears to get you up those hills.
