Touring

Midweek commute, weekend adventures. No problem for the Marin Four Corners, our steel-framed explorer that's as comfortable on the asphalt as it is in the dirt. A butted 4130 CrMo steel frame and fork are designed to be comfortable on rough roads but to also handle fully loaded touring and bikepacking. We've included six bottle mounts, rack and fender eyelets, lowrider fork mounts, generous tire clearance and disc brakes to set you up for all conditions and all terrain. Don't be fooled, that classic frame material doesn't mean low-tech. We've used biometric fit data to offer five different frame sizes, with size-matched 650b or 700C wheels to perfectly suit riders between 4'11" – 6'4". A high front-end creates all-day comfort and heads-up visibility, off-road-ready geometry means you won't skip a beat when you head off the asphalt and explore Beyond Road. 40mm wide multi-surface Vee GP tires are up for wherever your adventures take you, while Shimano's supremely reliable Sora 3x9 drivetrain ensures that you'll always have the right gear ratio. Finally, Tektro Spyre-C mechanical disc brakes deliver controlled braking, even when riding fully loaded.

The Four Corners is built for the adventure rider looking to explore deep off of the beaten path, sleep outdoors, and be ready for whatever pavement, dirt road, or light singletrack is around the next corner. The heads-up bar position and generous braze-ons that make it possible to live on the bike for days at a time are equally at home on the daily commute. Bottle/Gear Mounts Fork leg bottle or accessory cage mounts on the base Four Corners, along with traditional front triangle bottle mounts (three on sizes M-XL, two on XS-S) provide up to six bottle cage mounts total. Disc Brakes Disc brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance Steel is Real The Four Corners uses butted and formed Series 1 4130 CrMo frames specially tuned for loaded touring with upright geometry for comfortable and efficient all-day rides.

Ride roads, gravel or dirt with this versatile aluminum all-rounder. A composite fork gives it a smooth ride, and a flip chip lets you adjust wheelbase and tire clearance. Key Performance Factors Confident handling: Frame is designed with endurance positioning and shorter chainstays for precise handling, agility and control. A longer reach, shorter stem and lower bottom bracket drop improves stability on rugged terrain. Tuned compliance: Dropped seatstays with thin tubing absorb road shocks and vibrations. The D-Fuse handlebar and seatpost work as a system to add compliance without sacrificing stiffness while cornering, sprinting or climbing. Adaptable to the terrain: A flip chip on the rear dropout adjusts the wheelbase: short for quicker handling and acceleration, or long for improved stability at speed. The long setting allows for larger diameter tires up to 53mm. You can choose the included D-Fuse seatpost for maximum compliance, or switch to a 30.9mm round or dropper post.

The Gestalt X is our hard-charging, rough-and-rowdy take on what gravel and adventure bikes can do. Break off the fire road, down the singletrack and charge further and faster than ever before.
