Marin Lombard 2 Gravel Bike Features:
The Marin Lombard 2 uses the Marin Series 3 aluminum frame, which has slightly more relaxed geometry. The head angle tends to be a little slacker, providing better control on rougher terrain. It's designed with longer rides and comfort in mind. It offers more stability on gravel, making it a better option for backpacking or long gravel rides.
This gravel bike also uses a Marin full carbon fiber fork offering significant benefits such as vibration dampening, lighter weight, improved handling, and responsiveness. Moreover, it improves the aesthetic. Carbon forks are often more stylish than metal ones, thanks to their smooth, clean lines and ability to integrate into the frame design more seamlessly.
