Meet the Marin Larkspur 2 2026 Hybrid Bike in Black – a versatile, comfortable and confidence-inspiring modern Mixte bike designed for everyday adventures, commuting, leisure rides and exploring beyond the city. Available from The Rolling Fix, your independent bicycle store in Liverpool, the Larkspur 2 combines a practical low-step frame with capable components and a comfortable, upright riding position.
Building on the award-winning Larkspur platform, the Marin Larkspur 2 takes the classic Mixte concept and gives it a modern twist. Its Series 2 butted CrMo low-step frame makes getting on and off the bike simple, while the 27.5-inch wheels and high-volume 2.35-inch tyres provide a smooth, stable ride across a wide variety of surfaces.
Comfortable and Capable
The Larkspur 2 is built around comfort and control. Its Vee Tire Co GPVee 27.5 x 2.35-inch tyres feature puncture protection and a mixed-terrain tread, giving you plenty of grip and cushioning whether you're riding Liverpool's roads, cycle paths, parks or venturing further afield.
The bike also features a Marin Adventure Sweeper handlebar and Marin Adventure grips, combined with a plush Marin Adventure saddle, helping create a relaxed riding position that's ideal for longer rides and everyday cycling.
For even more comfort and control, the Larkspur 2 is equipped with a TranzX dropper seatpost. With 70mm of travel on size S and 110mm on larger sizes, the dropper allows you to quickly adjust your saddle height while riding, making it easier to get on and off the bike and providing additional confidence on varied terrain.
Shimano CUES 11-Speed Drivetrain
At the heart of the Larkspur 2 is a reliable Shimano CUES 11-speed drivetrain. The Shimano CUES RD-U6000 rear derailleur and SL-U6000 shifter provide a wide range of gears, while the 11-51T SunRace cassette gives you plenty of low-end gearing for tackling hills and steeper sections.
The 1x11 drivetrain keeps things simple with a single 38T chainring, reducing unnecessary complexity while still offering the range needed for everything from everyday urban riding to longer countryside adventures.
Powerful Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Confidence is further enhanced by Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, with a 180mm rotor at the front and 160mm at the rear. These provide dependable stopping power and controlled braking performance in a range of conditions, making the Larkspur 2 well suited to year-round UK riding.
Ready for Everyday Adventures
Practicality is another major strength of the Marin Larkspur 2. The frame includes mounts for mudguards, a rear rack and a kickstand, making it easy to customise the bike around your needs.
Whether you're looking for a comfortable hybrid bike for commuting in Liverpool, a practical bike for everyday transport, or a versatile machine for weekend rides and exploring local cycle routes, the Larkspur 2 is designed to do it all.
