Headlands 2 2026

Fully loaded bike-packing, fast and light off-road adventures, gravel and CX racing… or simply exploring your favourite tracks and trails. The Marin Headlands is a high-tech, high-spec carbon fiber gravel and adventure bike that’s made to be lightning-fast, confidence-inspiring and super comfortable on all surfaces.

A unidirectional carbon fiber frame, added mountain bike-inspired geometry, loads of tire clearance and a whole heap of mounting points for gear and fenders to create a super versatile, super capable all-terrain dart of a bike. Go 700c with room for up to 45mm tires or 650b up to 47mm.

Gravel-specific Shimano GRX 12-speed groupset, GRX hydraulic brakes, Vee Tire Co tires and Marin wheels and finishing kit all add up to a whole mountain of fun and adventure. Last but not least, we’ve added a TranzX dropper seat post to really push you and your Headlands’ limits on the trails.
