2024 Marin FAIRFAX 2
Marin- FITNESS ROAD RIDING
- COMMUTING
- BIKE PATH RIDING
The Fairfax 1 is the most affordable in the collection. Named “Best Hybrid” many years running by Wirecutter it’s built around a lightweight Series 1 aluminum frame and a sturdy CrMo fork and comes with a 3x7-speed Shimano drivetrain, Clark’s mechanical disc brakes and plenty of reliable Marin components. Why choose a step-through bicycle frame? Traditionally designed for female riders wearing skirts, the step-through has evolved to suit anyone that prefers a frame that’s far easier to swing a leg over. They’re ideal for less flexible riders, slow-speed urban cycling and riders that need to load their bike up with bags or kids.
Key upgrades from Fairfax 1/1 ST:
- Series 2 Fitness frame
- Straight blade aluminum fork
- Shimano Acera/TY710 2x8 drivetrain
- Vee Tire Zilent tires w/puncture protection
