The Headlands 1 is Marin's carbon gravel and adventure bike, built to be fast, confidence-inspiring and comfortable on every surface. Whether it's fully loaded bikepacking, quick and light off-road adventures, gravel or cyclocross racing, or simply exploring your favourite tracks and trails, it's ready for it.

The unidirectional carbon frame uses Marin's Beyond Road platform, with mountain bike-inspired geometry, lots of tyre clearance and a generous number of mounts for gear and mudguards. It runs 700c wheels with room for 45mm tyres, or 650b with space for even bigger rubber, and has internal routing for a dropper post. The full carbon fork keeps weight down and adds precision.

The build centres on gravel-specific Shimano GRX: a clutch-equipped 12-speed GRX rear derailleur with a single 42T FSA Gossamer Pro chainset and wide 10-51T cassette, plus GRX hydraulic disc brakes. It rolls on tubeless-compatible Marin wheels with Vee Tire Co. QuikStyk tyres.
