Fully loaded bikepacking, fast and light off-road adventures, gravel and CX racing… or simply exploring your favorite 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.
We’ve taken our own 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.
The Marin Headlands 3, the creme de la creme, the king of the crop - our top tier build for gravel nirvana. The same carbon frame and fork with our in frame Bear Box storage is now adorns with a full 1 x 13 Sram Rival wireless transmission, Sram Rival hydraulic disc brakes, a TransX dropper post and a stiff, light and efficient Novatec G24 carbon wheelset. A Marin finishing kit tops off the boutique build list - we're very excited for this one!
Sunset Cycles offers the 2026 Marin Headlands 3 gravel bike in Dark/Light Green and Holographic Green finish with up to 36 months 0% finance and free delivery.
