Marin San Rafael DS2 (Grey)
732419005
Product Story
A dual-sport bike for the adventurous fitness rider who wants to explore rail-trails, paved paths, and dirt doubletrack equally, with a hydraulic lockout fork that adapts to whatever surface comes next.
Overview
The Marin San Rafael DS2 (Grey) is built around a Series 2 Dual Sport 6061 aluminum frame paired with an SR Suntour NEX Disc HLO fork featuring hydraulic lockout, a step up from the mechanical setup on the entry-level San Anselmo.
It's equipped with a microSHIFT TS39 2x8-speed drivetrain and Clark's Clout hydraulic disc brakes - a confident, capable dual-sport build.
This is a bridge-between-pavement-and-dirt bike for riders who want a bit more drivetrain range and braking power than the entry-level San Anselmo.
Why You'll Like It
A fork you can firm up or soften
The SR Suntour NEX Disc HLO fork's hydraulic lockout lets you firm up the front end for efficient pedaling on smooth pavement, then release it for comfort on rougher surfaces.
A wider gear range than the entry model
The microSHIFT TS39 2x8-speed drivetrain gives a wider gear range than a typical entry dual-sport, making climbs and headwinds easier to manage.
Hydraulic brakes for confident stopping
Clark's Clout hydraulic disc brakes give confident, consistent stopping power in all conditions, where a mechanical setup would fade over time.
Tires that handle pavement and dirt equally
Vee Tire Rail 700x40mm tires roll efficiently on pavement while handling light dirt without issue.
Who Is It For?
Suited to riders who want one bike for local rail-trail systems, paved paths, and light dirt doubletrack equally - a step up in drivetrain range and braking from the entry-level San Anselmo.
For riders in Indian cities and towns where paved paths give way to broken or unpaved stretches without warning, this dual-sport setup handles that transition without needing a change of bike.
Good to Know
The fork's hydraulic lockout lets you firm up the front end for efficient pedaling on smooth pavement, then release it for comfort on rougher surfaces.
