Tarmac, gravel or dirt backroads — the Gestalt Base handles any adventure without stretching the budget. It's the entry point into Marin's Gestalt gravel range, built around a lightweight Series 2 6061 aluminium frame with internal cable routing for a clean, premium look that belies its price.

Chunky 40mm tyres soak up bumps and hold their line on loose ground, while a compact flared drop bar gives extra control and confidence when the going gets rough. Mounts for a rack and mudguards mean it's just as happy loaded up for a weekend escape or set up for the daily commute.

A Shimano Claris 2x8 drivetrain gives you the climbing gears to tackle hills without fuss, and Tektro mechanical disc brakes provide dependable, all-weather stopping. It's a genuinely versatile, easy-to-own first gravel bike.
