The Marin Fairfax 2 ST is a fast, lightweight and versatile step-through hybrid bike, designed for riders who want comfortable, confident cycling around town without compromising on performance. As the top-end step-through model in the Fairfax collection, it combines a lightweight Series 2 aluminium frame with quality Shimano gearing, hydraulic disc brakes and puncture-resistant tyres to create an excellent all-round bike for commuting, fitness riding and everyday cycling.
The step-through frame design makes getting on and off the bike particularly easy, making the Fairfax 2 ST an ideal choice for urban riders, those who prefer a more accessible riding position, or anyone who regularly needs to stop and start in busy city environments. The low step-over height is also useful when carrying bags, shopping or even transporting children, while integrated rack and mudguard mounts make it easy to customise the bike for practical everyday use.
At the heart of the Fairfax 2 ST is a lightweight 6061 aluminium Series 2 fitness frame, paired with an aluminium straight-blade fork. Internal cable routing gives the bike a clean, modern appearance, while the frame's disc-specific dropouts and mounting points provide plenty of versatility for commuting and longer rides.
Powering the Fairfax 2 ST is a Shimano 2x8-speed drivetrain, combining a 46/30T crankset with an 11-34T SunRace cassette. This gives you a useful range of gears for everything from quick, flat-road commutes to tackling Liverpool's hills with greater ease.
When it comes to stopping power, Tektro HDM275 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors front and rear provide reliable and controlled braking in a range of weather conditions. The bike rolls on Vee Tire Co. Zilent 700x35mm tyres, featuring puncture protection for added confidence on everyday roads and cycle paths.
Finished in a stylish Gloss Blue/Teal, the Marin Fairfax 2 ST combines practical features, low-maintenance components and a sporty hybrid design. Whether you're commuting across Liverpool, enjoying weekend rides or looking for a comfortable everyday bike, the Fairfax 2 ST is a capable and versatile choice.
