Marin DSX 2026 : Modernized the shape, kept the original DSX Magic: Review and Specs

The original DSX came out around 2020. It was radical and in high demand. Unlike so many bikes roughly in this category (rigid hybrids), the DSX actually got people stoked: stoked on the looks, stoked on the great ride feel and stoked on the capability.

In this video, we look at the specifications and what makes the DSX such a sought after commuter/hybrid/gravel bikes.
