The Marin Fairfax 2 2026 ST Hybrid Bike in Copper Grey is a versatile, comfortable and practical hybrid bike designed for everyday cycling, commuting and getting around town. As the top-end step-through model in the Fairfax range, it combines a lightweight Series 2 aluminium frame with upgraded components, hydraulic disc brakes and a reliable Shimano 2x8-speed drivetrain.
The step-through frame makes getting on and off the bike particularly easy, making the Fairfax 2 ST a great choice for urban riders, those who prefer a more accessible riding position, or anyone regularly carrying bags, shopping or even kids. Its low-access design also makes slow-speed riding and frequent stops around busy Liverpool streets simple and confidence-inspiring.
At the heart of the Fairfax 2 is a Series 2 6061 aluminium step-through frame, paired with a lightweight aluminium straight-blade fork. Internal cable routing keeps the bike looking clean, while integrated mounts provide compatibility with mudguards, racks and a rear kickstand, making it easy to tailor the bike for commuting and everyday use.
The Shimano Altus 2x8-speed drivetrain, with a 46/30T crankset and wide-ranging 11-34T cassette, offers plenty of gearing for everything from fast, flat roads to tackling hills around Liverpool and beyond. Shifting is complemented by a Shimano Acera rear derailleur for dependable performance.
Stopping power comes from Tektro HDM275 hydraulic disc brakes, with 160mm rotors front and rear. These provide strong, controlled braking performance in a range of conditions, giving you extra confidence when commuting through busy streets or riding in changeable UK weather.
Rolling on Vee Tire Co Zilent 700 x 35mm tyres, the Fairfax 2 ST offers a great balance of speed, comfort and grip. The tyres also feature puncture protection, making them well suited to everyday road and cycle-path riding.
With its lightweight construction, comfortable Marin Fitness Plush saddle, ergonomic locking grips and practical mounting points, the Marin Fairfax 2 ST 2026 is an excellent choice for commuters, leisure riders and anyone looking for a dependable hybrid bike that is easy to live with.
Available from The Rolling Fix in Liverpool, the Marin Fairfax 2 2026 ST is a superb all-rounder for everyday cycling, commuting and exploring the city and surrounding areas.
